how come nobody is talking about the terrible ref from the agnew/kovalev fight?

[boliodogs]

Agnew could have had his best friend referee that fight and he still would have been totally outclassed. Agnew still would have ran and covered up all fight. Kovalev still would have thrown and landed 4 times as many punches. Kovalev still would have easily won every round and knocked Agnew out. That is probably why nobody is talking about a bad referee.

I knew the ref was going to be a bit off the moment I saw him. Just had some look to him. Agnew did hit low a few times, but the ref sounded crazed in the first round.

Ref was Alan Thicks older brother

Poor Agnew -- no low blow... no headbutt...
Kov threw all the low blows and he headbutted Agnew all the fight long...
... Kov is a dirty fighter all around... He must be banned...
... Or Kovalev should fight Ward -- for a good match up...

With the way NSB is now, it would be pretty funny to see most of the Pac/Golovkin/Matthysse bandwagoners be on here posting about how bad Ottke desroyed the cheating lowblowing Reid.

Initially I thought this was about the first fight .... I'm still waiting on Combox's clinch stats.


Yup, it definitely threw Agnew off .... and he needed all the help he can get but even the ref was not helping

Lol, he was clearly in there for Kovalev.... It didn't have a factor on the fight, so that's probably why no one cares.

[Derranged]

he was fighting well enough till the ref gave him non-stop lowblow warnings

seemed like his strategy was dependent on going down then back up

Yea you're right. Once he got warned for punching low, he just said "ah fuck it, I'll take a loss". Him fighting in a shell had nothing to do with him getting tagged hard.

Give me a fucking break.
