Who's the worst Referee?

[SnoopySmurf]

The ref who officiated in the Rocky Juarez and Zahir Raheem fight. Even Mills Lane issued a open letter of complaint!

[InThisCorner]

The guy that did Maussa-Harris...so many low blows and rabbit punching from Maussa and no warnings.

Most of the time the ref doesn't change the outcome of a fight, and even when that does happen, maybe it was a good decision (e.g. Taylor-Chavez).

The judging is where the real action takes place. I bet if you think about the fights where you thought the decision was way wrong, the referee wasn't the reason.

hmm

Though off the top of my head (and this isn't because of any Brit bias) the two that stand out for me most recently are the guy who did Lacy-Reid (Forget Reid's own transgression - the guy hits him illegally after the break and he STILL gives him the ten count?) and the ref of Tyson-Williams.

Uhh, yes it is. The ref for Tszyu-Hatton was as bad or worse than the one for Lacy-Reid, so it's quite obvious you are biased in some way. If not Brit bias, I dunno what. Reid fought dirty so he got what he dished out.

Clearly, Tommy Kimmons is the worst ref in history just playin' SL

Robert Gonzalez, the ref that Zahir Raheem had to battle with in his match vs. Rocky Juarez, is the most corrupt ref I've seen in years...he was consistantly behind Juarez, screaming at Raheem, whereas a ref should be perpendicular to the fighters....it was blatantly corrupt, it was as if Zahir was fighting 2 guys in there....

John Schorle gets the call in big fights in CA, but he hasn't done that well recently (remember that Navarro kid who counted HIMSELF out to Schorle's face, when Schorle wouldn't stop the fight after constant begging from Navarro? Funny stuff)

people ususally diss Rich Steele, i think he's done great since he returned from his short retirement....

on the flip side, Kenny Bayless and Robert Byrd have improved drastically in the past few years

the referee in barera - pacman fight.he's f**cking favor on barera..(watch the fight and u'll see)

[Bozo_no no]

[SnoopySmurf]

[number6]

Roger Tilleman

German who refereed the Ottke vs Reid fight.

I don't know what his consistancy is, but that one performance deserves a mention.

That gets my vote too.

At least he was paid to cheat. Robert Gonzalez was actually TRYING to officiate. But did it so badly.

Oh...my vote also goes to Jersey Joe Walcutt. He officiated in the rematch between Cassius Clay and Sonny Liston II. He was so befuddled he actually asked someone at ringside a question!
