Fighter is warned for punching

[raskat]

uhhm..yes. Boxing is a dirty sport and referees play a big part in that, as well the judges. You'd be very naive to believe otherwise, there are huge sums of money involved. In all three of those bouts the referee was corrupt, and there are many more besides (others have been mentioned in this thread).

if you wanna see a Hatton fight in which the ref was corrupt, then watch Hatton vs Tszyu.
If the ref in the Hatton-Mayweather fight would have let Hatton do all that dirty stuff he usually gets away with in his UK fights, then you would be perfectly fine with it, right?

Let it go man,dont know if it is your love for Hatton or your hate for Floyd,but Floyd dominated Hatton,the fight was not close and wrestling is not apart of boxing,you need to come to terms with reality cause i remember that scorecard you had up for a year after the fight that had Hatton winning,that is crazy man...they could fight 100 times with 100 different refs and Hatton would get dominated 100 times.just stop with the nonsense..Hatton was never on Floyds level,never

yep,i guess Webbler this wrestling is apart of boxing

This has happened many times. Guerrero-Katsidis, Khan-Maidana, Hatton-Mayweather amongst others. Corrupt reffing.

That was probably the worst night of officiating ever in the history of boxing.

[AztecWanker]

no. besides he was holding and hitting at the same time which is a foul.

like already posted it was ottke vs red, in germany ofcourse. another great example of german refereeing at its best is hernandez vs braithwaite.

hernandez gets dropped at which point the referee helps him up and then picks up the count at 2 even though hernandez been down like 5-6 seconds.

Watch from the beginning.

Sven Ottke comes to mind. You would get penalized for connecting punches on Ottke. Funniest thing I've seen really. I mean it's a boxing match and you'd get warned for hitting Ottke.

Reid hit him with a flush right hand and got warned

[D-MiZe]

You're thinking of Ottke vs Reid, disgraceful performance from the referee. It was so blatant which is what annoys me so much, really tarnishes the image of this great sport.

it was not an HBO fight, it was Sven Ottke vs Robin Reid:

watch rounds 4 and 5 (link goes to that time mark)

disgraceful robbery, I only gave Ottke 2 rounds in this fight

He gets warned for punching him at 18:35

[ИATAS]

uhhm.. no.

holding and hitting at the same time is a foul, as is hitting on the break. stop making a fool of yourself.

You're allowed to hit in a clinch as long as one hand is free. See Berto vs Guerrero. That's how fights are supposed to go (although the ref made a couple bad calls in that fight). Refs like Joe Cortez ruin many fights because they don't know the rules!
