Worst Ref in recent memory

[Evil Abed]

Mora by a mile.

[warp1432]

The guy who did Martinez Cintron or Marlon Wright. I voted Wright in the poll, but the Martinez Cintron guy for blowing that TKO.

[Eaner0919]

Mora by a mile.

Mora's ref job in the first Mares Agbeko fight tainted a good scrap. Mora missed calls, Mora inexplicably called a KD from a low blow he was in perfect position to see and thought he did a great job until someone told him he didn't

[King Ju-Ju]

I voted for Mora but the ref that did Bute-Andrades first fight did a horrible job aswell. Idk why so many people voted for Cortez in the Mayweather-Hatton fight. I don't think he did anything wrong there.

[LA_2_Vegas]

I'll go with Mora definitely....


also should add Laurence Cole telling JMM: "you're ahead on the scorecards, do you want to quit?" during a break in the action after Marquez sustained a cut over his eye in his bout against Jimrex Jaca.

[The Hammer]

Worst is UK ref Ian John-Lewis.

Failing to stop Briggs-Vitali could have caused Shannon to have a fatal injury.

Also, his behavior in Wlodarczyk-Fragomeni makes one suspect he was paid off.

And in the UK, the ref gets to judge fights sometimes - Ian John-Lewis giving Tom Dallas the win over Zack Page proves he's crooked.

IN comparison to a real 'bad' refereeing job, Cooper doesn't even make the top 50 list. He took points off for actual infractions, and for one fighter completely disregarding any warnings and point deductions. He would have been doing a worse job if he didn't take any points off. The only thing he made a mess of was the KD call in the first round.

You kids are still just crying cause your fighter lost, not because of a bad ref. Go watch some real bad ref jobs and maybe you'll realise why some people are calling you all ****ing tools.

You r mad fam.
Maybe there have been much worse refereeing performances, but i've seen BARE fights with these 'infractions' where they just get warnings, no deductions!
Lennox Lewis is one, he always pushes the head back wid his arm and tees off using dis as a target, i reckon it was in his fight against Vitali dat he did dis Loads of times eh, but never got deducted points for it.
Now i can't remember seeing Khan doin much pushing before the 7th round. Peterson kept walking Khan down with his f***in head infronta both feet looking downwards. Dunno about yous lot but for me its an instinctive reaction when im backed against the ropes n his fists are swinging and his heads coming in low... This is how Khan boxes, with distance, the same as PBF does. Its rare seeing 1 point deduction, 2 is a joke ting.
Anyway Golden Boy are complaining to the District of Colombia boxing commissions so hopefully they overturn the loss like they did for Hopkins, they'll definately order an immediate rematch and Peterson gets Knocked out this time.
What the f*** was wrong with the knockdown in the first? Yu Americans are Jokes i swear down hahaha so biased its ****ery eh.
The first time Peterson fell, the second time he got dropped. simple
I voted Cortez purely for ruining the fight against Hatton...
If Khan got docked 2 points, then Floyd should have been docked 3 in that fight, but Hatton got docked instead lmao

I wrote dis in a next thread but its been ignored still -

Truth is ya'll American boxers are to smart when it comes to the rules of boxing eh.
However much a world class boxer Floyd is, he'll always be a 'cheat' in my eyes, Watch the mayweather vs Hatton fight in full n you will know what i mean.
He's perfected the art of 'cheating' but getting warnings for his opponents. He does this by, when in a tricky situation like up against the ropes taking heavy punches, he turns hsi back on his opponent or somehow manages to twist his head around while keeping his body facin his opponent. when he does this the referee, Joe Cortez in this case, splits them up allowing Floyd a breather and some space, and warns the opponent for punching the back of the head...
The Hatton fight got split up every time he got in close to Floyd and swingin punches at him. Then Floyd would go on to pot shot Hatton from distance and come in and clinch him, he'd then get split up again either for Hatton punching the back of the f***in head lol or for clinching. Then Floyd would potshot Hatton from distance again............. You see where im goin wid dis lol
Dats what happened pretty much every 10 seconds of every round up until about the 8th round...

Petersons tactics were spot on though when he switched after gettin dropped and outclassed/outboxed in the first 2 rounds... The way he came in head first with his head down and in front of his feet was just perfect to scupper Khans skills and tactics and to force him to commit the 'foul' lol. Wonder if the ref told him to do dat if he was gettin smashed up in the first few rounds?
f***in Americans

2 American judges aswell? what a joke that is eh. An American ref and 2 out of the 3 judges. Hey, and guess which judges scored the bout 113-112 to Peterson??? It weren't the non-American that scored it 114-111 correctly i'll tell yu dat lol.

Good fight still. Peterson showed bare heart as always, and by way of a miracle came away with the decision. Even with a 2 point advantage

[Marshall89]

Maybe even the ref for the Benn vs McClellan fight, He should have noticed a difference in McClellan when he started feeling his head thinking he was bleeding, n when he just stood der blinking rapidly.
At the end of the fight McClellan said (when his d***head trainer poured water on him 2 cool him down) "I feel like that waters going right through my head"
Should have been stopped eh.

What about the ref for the Enzo vs Frenkel fight. How he let that fight continue after the first knockdown I don't know, a complete disregard for a fighter's safety.

[NAPO]

Of all time is Jay Nady and Joe Cortez.

Of recent memory, Rusell Mora...That was just disgusting ref job.
