What are the refs in Europe for??

[Riptor]

Ok everyone here is the question of the day.. What do you all think that the European referees are actually in the ring for? Not to take anything from Hatton the kid fought a smart fight. However the officiating as always was sub-standard. I dont mind fights being in other places than the U.S. but comon guys you have to do something about your officiating.


Pick one or more answers and elaborate if possible

Eruopean Referre's are in the ring only to_______________.

1. Simply try to look good in the ring and get some tv exposure
2. Gain popularity with friends by appearing on tv (look at me!)
3.help out their European brothers by cheating.
4.find something to do when retired.
5.Dont know nobody knows not even they do.
6. Other (you fill in the blank please elaborate if possible)
7. allow a boxing match to become more like pro-hockey, UFC, or MMA matches.
8. I feel the ref did a great job so stop quit whining everyone!

All judges are diffrent, this one decided to let them fight in close.

9. only in there to warn and not take away points
10. asking exasperated fighters after rd 11 fighting their undefeated hometown fighters if they want to quit,when they dont respond within 3 seconds call the fight via TKO for hometown hero

lets not forget what happened to corely.

or jones jr in korea.

boxing sucks in other places.naz did well in the US,so did lennox and the public didnt even really like him,so that proves our boxing is the fairest.

One day I might actually dignify this with a response. But for now it shall not be dignified.
