Ref for Usyk-Dubois was the most biased ref I seen in a long time

[baroidi]

Dubois is a chinny quitter like Joshua, but that is after the bodyshot(legal!) that sent usyk down to the canvas writhing in pain. Anytime Dubois hurt Uysk to the body, Usyk would complain and the Ref was all over Dubois. Dubois should be Champion!

yeah people are saying he "could have gotten up in 10 seconds"


lmfao and look at him hes not even grabbing his balls he is grabbing his stomach. look at his belt in both pics, its way past his belly button, that means he was punched in the belly button area.

Yeah ref was in there taking orders from Usyk like his hired lap dog.

The first job of a referee is to protect the boxers. How many times have we seen a guy go down from a low blow, jump around for 30 seconds or so, then continue on to getting beat up or knocked out the rest of the round if he didn't take the LEGAL 5 minutes that he was entitled to. Usyk after 2 1/2 minutes said I'm ok but the ref quite legally told him to take the rest of his time. This was very good refereeing IMO.

Usyk was in there at 3 minutes 50 seconds and ref was refusing to restart the fight at Usyks request. what you are talking about and what happened are two different extremes. Ref was acting like his trainer more than the ref at this time. Trainer can shout from the corner to tell their fighter to take more time if they feel like it. Its not the ref's job to refuse to re-start the fight.

Stoppage was legit, but ref definitely jumped in every time Usyk wanted him to.

Question is, would he have done so for Dubois too? We don't actually know.

Actually its IS the job of the ref to refuse to start a fight, or to stop a fight, or to ignore a corner throwing in a towel. He is the final judge in the ring. Some commissions allow a doctor to stop a fight, but most suggest it to the ref and the ref waves his hand.

Wasn’t there a fight in the UK somewhat recently where the ref threw the towel back out of the ring and just watched dude get bludgeoned??

Can't blame him too much. If he called that a ko those ukranians would have lynched the ref in the ring and killed him.

This is what I am talking about, look at the way the ref looks and holds Usyk, its creepy
