A ref should not be talked back to or argued with during any warning between rounds

What if it was a scenario like the one Marlon Wright put forth to Librado Andrade in the Bute match?

It was obvious that this fight had fix in it but after I further reviewed the incident, I have to say that Marlon did nothing illegal. Andrade was not in the corner. A very phuked up technicality but it is a rule that the fighter has to go to a neutural corner and stay there. Andrade was coming out of his corner and he cost himself that fight. I know it was a shady deal but Marlon was in his right to do what he did.

Yes it was a long count. I agree with the complaints being made about this ordeal.

The ref has the power to eject the corner, so it's not a good idea for the corner to berate the 3rd man in the ring.

Absolutely. I have no time for any sportsman (boxing, football, rugby etc.) that doesn't respect the ref.

I can think of at least one instance where the fighter/corner could not have respected the ref and have my absolute understanding. That would be Reid when he was fighting Ottke.

That's right. Just ask Norman Stone.
