Let's not forget how bad he ****ed up when reffing Gatti vs Mayweather.
Mayweather obviously would've won either way but he did a real ****ty job in that fight too.

This dude needs to ****ing go. I already wrote. Not that it'll do any good, but if we all let him know what a POS ref he is, maybe it'll help him make the decision to give it up...

DQing w/o warning or point deduction??? Leaving a fighter bloodied and disfigured without Dr.'s attention while he conferred because he was too incompetant to make his own call? Faking stopping the fight in favor of Soto, but then pulling back and changing his mind???? He needs to go.

Yeah, the fake stopping twice.......which makes it worse. Because now Soto has had 2 times he possibly thought it was stopped and possibly thinks the has to drop this guy again.

BTW did you have money on the fight? Sounds like you got screwed. I did too once long ago in Evander-Lewis I.

I lost $450. But you and I know both know this isn't **** relatively speaking. It's honestly the last thing I'm thinking of. Graham Houston is seriously considering stopping his website writing for awhile do to the horrible reffing job (check his site fightwriter.com) He is disgusted with this kind of crap going on. Cortez doesn't belong in the ring and neither did Lorenzo. One of his readers lost 16k. 16 thousand ****ing dollars do to this joke of a ref.

Yeah, I know its not that much comparitively speaking its actually a relatively low amount but its the principal. I was in like H.S. or Undergrad (dont remember which) and only had about $40ish bucks on Evander-Lewis which isn't really much. However the mere fact that incompetence actually cost me something REAL not pride or damn my fighter got an L. But cost me a dinner and movie only became a multiplier to my anger over the Evander-Lewis fight.

You know if Graham says something like that - it's got to be a very bad call. He's been writing boxing articles/columns since the early 60's. He's so disgusted he's decided to take a hiatus from his website.
