I was watching the Gatti-Patterson rematch yesterday, that was simply the worst refereeing job ever. Rudy Battle took away a clean body shot knockdown from Patterson, and gave Gatti time to rest for a low blow call. He was just walking around the fighters telling them to keep their punches up, while they were throwing head shots. He warned Gatti about 20 times for low blows before he took a point away. He called a knockdown against Patterson when a punch didn't even connect. Battle is obviously Gatti's biggest fan.

Tony Perez The Worst
I never understood why the TV media used to prop this guy...he was the worst I ever saw.
1. Totally lost control of Ali Wepner.
2. About got Ken Norton killed against Gerry Cooney; totally clear across ring.
3. Got Kostya Tszyu DQed against Leonardo Mas; again clear across ring.
4. I think he was the ref for Mercer and Morrison; Mercer almost murdered the guy; again out of position.
Lazy, out of position, arrogant.
The best; Arthur Sr; Larry Hazzard Sr; Stanley Christodoulu; Marty Denkin; Mitch Halpern
