I thought that was some classy reffing there

They need to utilize the ref cam during the actual fight not just when theirs a break in the action. but i liked the ref cam its something new.

Following fights I would have loved a ref cam for:

Mills Lane- Tyson/Holyfield II

Jay Nady- Trinidad/Vargas

Jay Nady- Kostya/Judah

Richard Steele- Chavez SR/Meldric Taylor

Anyone else?

Feel free to add!!!!

Smoger - all of them

front row seats to beatdowns that didnt stop until someone's head came off

The image would be blurry and shaky as hell though.

i thought that was a great idea and yea, they should have used it more


HBO should upload the entire fight on their site...i'd love to watch it from the ref's POV

If they ever do that, they should also add the camera view looking straight down at the ring.

I always wanted to see whole fights w/ fighters who have great footwork/foot speed from that angle.

true, but i dont mean for a long period just for like 10-15 secs

yea the birdseye/aerial view is nice...ESPN used to use that one quite a bit

Did anyone else think that HBO missed a trick by under utilizing the ref cam on Kenny Bayless?
I thought it was a great idea to implement it in the Khan/Garcia fight but the only footage I saw was the final count Khan was given before the fight was stopped. Its a shame that they didn't show more of this footage in between rounds or after the fight because there were some quality exchanges taking place and Bayless had the best view in the house.

Big mistake by HBO in my opinion.

HBO should have something on their site, where u can pick an angle to watch the fight from...Like when mtv does its award shows, on the site, they have all these different cameras running and u can choose one to enlarge...everytime I see fights, I would love to see certain punches from different angles
