Comments Thread For: Ian John-Lewis Downgraded by BBBoC In Wake Of Taylor-Catterall Scoring Controversy

[IronDanHamza]

One of the worst judges (and refs) in the history of this sport.

He shouldn't be allowed to judge or ref at all.

"When asked about accusations of corruption in boxing, "No comment" was the response offered by Mr. John-Lewis, as he glanced from side-to-side and shifted nervously behind the wheel of his brand new solid gold sports car."

What a B- joke!

[fistic flow]

Yes sir!!! That’s him! The only fight I saw that he did a good job on was the first Chisora/Whyte fight. For once he let them slug it out without interfering & at one point called them in for a warning but really it was only to give them both a breather as the action was furious. Neither guy benefited more. That was the one & ONLY fight I thought he did a **** up job… Total dud as a judge though & shouldn’t be anywhere near a world title fight.

Should have been demoted/ ditched after this

Wow! The BBoC needs to be shut down. If I was any foreign boxer i would not fight there. A pen & scorecard? Looks to me he is looking at his phone & the thumb gives it away. He is either scrolling or checking something. That is corrupt as it gets. A disgrace to the sport. I hope more fighters follow in Fury’s footsteps by bypassing the BBoC. British promoters are getting screwed over too by these clowns. They are ruining fighters careers. The US has some commissions that need to house cleaning too…

So is true all the BENT BASTARDS again covering each others back's, as after the fight in Scotland two guy's in dinner suits getting a large A4 envelope the thickness of a telephone directory in the reserved carpark for OFFICIALS ( to far away to say their names 100% ) but they know who they are!
Also is the BBBofC now becoming the BENT BOARD of BOXING CONTROL? Funny only just downgraded one level? by the BBBofC bit like a pat on the back, and a message of DON'T make it to OBVIOUS next time, you'll be back up in a few weeks once the **** has cleared the fan!
Void the fight & make it happen again and if Taylor refuses reclaim the purse. Then on a rescheduled fight draw the judges one from each of three governing bodies ie WBS,WBO,WBA,IBF & the RING make a draw for the three GOVERNING bodies to put up a judge, lets keep out the BENT BASTARDS out of the EQUATION. This will stop these bung happy twat's getting any sort of bung, backhander or night's out in a KNOCKING SHOP in the future!
It's great to hear the Speaker & Chorley MP is pursuing the mater further via the police.
You have heard all the rubbish coming out over Jack not been in with any CLASS as his contract had a gagging clause for sparring, ask FLOYD MAYWEATHER Jnr & CARNELO ALVARAZ might not answer but say's something about Jack or even ask MIKE TYSON as he set up some serious sparing while Jack waited for his shot and was DULY robbed. You only have to look at Taylor's face when the final bell rang. That picture, painted a 1000 words, first two was I'm SCREWED.
What's it cost at least £2m for Jack and a pair of ARSEHOLES who don't give a flying FCUK for anyone but themselves disgraceful. If it was like horse racing you would be warned off all racecourses in the UK and even banned for life bent jockeys in the past where banned for ten years, not down graded to a apprentice!
The BENT BOARD of BOXING CONTROL is so bad it would give the MAFIA a rise to SAINTHOOD.

This dude always gets introduced as 'a star referee Ian John Lewis'.

This will be a kick in the stones.

[Knuckle sandwich]

I suspect they were hoping this would get brushed under the carpet of bad calls, it hasn't, nor should it be, it's obvious this was rotten from the start (brown envelopes indeed)

Cj ross is being considered to take his place as an A class judge

[techliam]

Yet again, the BBBC showing that it is simply not fit for purpose

the UK needs an alternative
