  • Title fights ruined by refs

    The one that always comes to mind is Meldrick Taylor vs JCC. It looked like a win for Taylor only to have Steele end it after the KD.

    What other championship fights have been ruined by the ref?

    Wladimir Klitschko - (insert multiple opponents here), refs allowing him to hold constantly ruin any chance his usually smaller opponents have of winning. Out of range they get outreached and jabbed, in-range they get tied up and prevented from throwing.

      I'm not saying he would've won if things were different but ref Robertt Byrd allowed Hopkins to maul Winky the whole fight and never once cautioned him.

        Joke Cortez breaking Hatton and Mayweather up every 2 seconds but then allowing Hopkins to slow dance Calzaghe all night.

          Yup Cortez with Hatton-May was a ***ing farce (May would still have won) but shiiiit.
          He was a **** in Khan-Maidana too.
          And that fat *** no hoper that reffed Khan-Peterson was a bit of a nobhead too.

          And every ref seems to let W.Klit try and make his opponent sniff his junk, does he wear Hugo Boss down there? Fuuuuk.

            The ref in the Vitali- Danny Williams fight was awful too.

            The bastard was counting slips as knock downs. If he wanted to **** Danny in the ass he could've bought him a drink first.

              In theory Hopkins vs Robert Allen I would have to be mentioned since Mills Lane "pushed Hopkins out of the ring".
              But it was an accident.
              As for Meldrick Taylor vs Chavez Sr: Ref Steele did the right thing. Chavez could have landed another bomb in the remaining seconds and Taylor was already out on his feet. Steele did nothing wrong there.

                Lol yeah I remember that fight. I wonder how much was lost by bettors that didn't see a NC coming.

                  Sven Ottke - (insert multiple opponents here), some of the worst ref jobs in history were in Ottke fights, just watch the Robin Reid fight.

                    David Haye vs Dereck Chisora.

                    The referee actually ended a round 10 seconds early because Haye was blowing out his arse and getting hit.
