Just watched the Montiel and ref situation again

[Mr. Philadel]

and that ref is a moron. I thought it was horrible watching it live on HBO saturday night but it's even more horrible watching it today. How the hell are you going to grab an unresponsive fighter gloves and tap it for him. The ref literally forced Montiel to tap his glove for him when he knew nothing about it.

the ref was horrible....WTF was he thinking?!?....Montiel was in no shape to go on....HORRIBLE job by that ref!!!....I like the way Kenny Bayless handled the Mike Jones-Soto Karass fight....that was some good reffin'.....minus the missed butt, other than that...Bayless was on his game.....can't say the same for the ref in Montiel's case....that was really sick!!!

No, but when the referee was telling him to come forward, Montiel turned his hands up and nodded his head, like saying "Yeah, I'm ready."

The ref didn't ask him if he was ready, he asked him to step forward. When he didn't step forward, that should have signaled to the ref right away that he didn't know what was going on.
