Do you think you can referee a professional bout?

    It would be pretty funny to see you eat an Abraham hook at 1:52 of the first round.

      What kind of ref would you be? Break up clinches? quick with the warning/penalties? Smoger-like in letting guys take a beating?

        I think be a smoger type. But, then again if a fighter i like is taking a beating then my heart would probably get to me where I would stop it. I don't know I never thought about it.

            I dunno mang but after reading your post you gave me another reason why not.

            It does not matter how good you try to do it, there will be always people bashing you because you were to strict or did not stop the fight, that count was to fast, you did not see the elbows.... It would suck

            Yeah I am waaaaay to uptight with my dayjob to take one of my favorite sports and over stress about it.

            No clue, that is a good one. One thing is for sure, they are not selected at random.

                To be sincere I would probably be all of the above with the exception that if one of them is really hurt and there is no reason for him to take a beating I would stop it. With the warning penalties well I believe to be fair I dunno LOL but not going point deduction spree.

                    Too much pressure I'd screw up.

                      I would have waved off Pac-JMM 1 after that third KD.

                      I would have stopped Mayweather-JMM in the 11th round.

                      I would have INSISTED that McGirt send Gatti out for Round 7 vs FMJ.

                      I would not have stopped Chavez-Taylor.

                      I would have allowed Jermain to try to make it to his feet vs Froch.

                      I may have stopped Cotto-Malignaggi
