Comments Thread For: Q&A: Jack Reiss on his best and worst fights, lessons learned

[joe strong]

most fights you dont have to do anything important, when it came time to enforce the rules and call a fair fight, he didnt. he made sure the a-side guy was protected. of course you dont want to make it obvious but he did, because most of the time refs dont have to do anything to protect the a-side guys becuase they are good enough, but when they do need help thats when you see the blatant favoritism come out which exposes that no he was not a good ref, he was a bad ref, and a bad person.

its like saying hes a good cop, he only shoots innocent people once a year! the rest of the time hes really nice! the big moments are the moments that matter. he failed in those moments. well he didnt really fair he played ball with a corrupt system so in a sense he succeeded which is why you saw him in so many fights. he was trustworthy and knew where his bread was buttered like floyd with kenny bayless

Much like guys like Terry O’Connor & a few of the usual british refs.

Boxing won’t miss this clown referee. The worst I’ve ever seen. This mf actually made the show about himself , he though people showed up to the arena to see him smfffh I still remember when he was being a goldidgger trying to fine both Andre Ward and Rodriguez smh and the on another fight he was stopping Vergil Ortiz mid round and telling him what punches he can and can’t throw. Total garbage referee. And I know you’re reading this. You won’t be missed

You think he reads this pathetic bunch of whiny losers? Each time I slip and read comments here I feel dirty and dumb.

Hey Jack, I know you're reading this, why the **** did you give Tyson Fury 12 full seconds to recover from that 12th round knockdown? BE HONEST! You had money on that fight didn't you? Our beloved sport has no room for corrupt referee's such as yourself. Pleases do not return, sincerely, every honest boxing fan.

Never heard of sport betting?

What sport betting could take place though? The bet of a ref telling both fighters they'd not get paid unless they cleaned up their act? No such bet exists.

Fury didn't get 12 seconds. He was up in 10. Reiss just wanted to make sure he was OK to continue by asking him to walk straight. This has been done for many years by many refs. You didn't have a problem until you needed a reason to why Wilder lost. Wilder was always going to lose when he fought someone who was not a can or shot. As the evidence has proven many times now.

Why defend a guy that has been proven to be a fraud? You probably think elon musk is a genius because he promised full self driving in 2017 and he woudk land on Mars in 2022. Hey little hint he's full of sh-it just like any ref who protects a sides. Musk is solid because of the hyperloop! Oh the little tunnel that goes 1 Mile at 5mph? Yeah same thing as the promised 500 mph between Vegas and LA! Oops!!!! SOLID STUFF!!! Reiss is solid because he didn't eff up every single fight he was ever in!

You are sounding unhinged here. I remember when you used to be funny and now you are just a sour puss.

He was terrible. You must worship ward to say this undignified bullsh-it. When someone blatantly cheats and you put your hands in your pockets you are nothing more than a bag man for big money interests

Case in point.
