Comments Thread For: Referee Tony Weeks Comments On Romero-Barroso Stoppage, Says Age of Barroso Played a Major Factor

[Smash]

king kong definitely dont want this guy refing his fights

[Smash]

what about skinny guys? they need protecting too

[crimsonfalcon07]

That's really sleazy. Trying to pretend his blatant corruption was "protecting" the guy he's cheating? Shameless.

That explanation doesn't do squat to explain why he cheated Barroso earlier with the pushdown he scored as a knockdown. That's not protecting the older fighter. This whole explanation is a pack of lies.

Same ref who officiated the Morrell/Yerbossynuly fight. He let the fight continue and what happened? The Kazakhstani fighter was rushed to the hospital and went into a coma for more than a week.

There are refs that I don't like in this sport, but they keep on getting hired. Kenny Bayless, Harvey Dock, whose posture is always aimed at implementing break at the slightest entanglement. No room for any effing inside fighting. Man I hate his posture of always aiming to break.

I hate that ref. I believe it could be the reason why Anthony Dirrell lost to Plant.
He didn't get to fight inside because Dock kept on interfering.

If they want to try and make it up to Barroso the least they can do is make him the mandatory for the winner of Rollie next fight otherwise boxing looks corrupted

It took him this long to come up with that B.S. I said it bullsh_t! He was paid by somebody no doubt! BS, BS, BSsssssssssssss

The stoppage was appalling but fair play to Weeks for speaking up and owning his mistake. Referee’s and officials often just remain silent in the wake of controversy and wait for the storm to blow over. They should be interviewed post fight IMO.

I'm personally not buying his reasoning. But I liked your post because of what you said at the end... Ref's should be interviewed.

Hell.... JUDGES should be ****ing interviewed.

Thank you, the bastard is corrupt!
