Bad Referees & Fights ruined by them

[Real King Kong]

Celestino Ruiz is one of the worst and most incompetent refs in the game today. He merely ****ed up last night's fight before Kono and Kameda due to his incessant need to inject himself in the fight and deduct points for nonfouls. The guy should not ever be allowed to ref a high profile fight again.

One of the commentators said he was emotionally incapable

In light of the terrible refereeing job tonight by Vic Drakulich in the Rios-Chaves fight, here are a few of the bad refereeing jobs I could think of:

Russell Mora in the Joseph Agbeko-Abner Mares fight: Mares hit Agbeko with low blows throughout the fight on his way to a majority decision win. Referee didn't give a shyt about Agbeko's complaints & even ruled one of the low blows as a knock down when Agbeko went down.

Arthur Mercante, Jr in the Cotto vs. Foreman fight: referee overruled Foreman's corner when they chose to throw in the towel LOL

Richard Steele in Julio Caesar Chavez Vs Meldrick Taylor: No need to talk about this I guess, the world knows what happened in round 12

Which ones can you think of?

why don't you need to talk about richard steel?

he doesn't have a clock in his head. he asked taylor if he could continue, and the guy looked somewhere off in the distance with a face that looked like it had been though a wood chipper. he pissed blood after that fight, and was never the same.

legendary nights makes it seem like he was walking away with the fight. he might have been ahead on th cards, but chavez, a riciculous puncher, was landing clean counters on him and breaking him down.

Came in here to say the same thing. Not only does he feel the need to unnecessarily interject himself in fights, but he's constantly vulgar to the fighters as well.

This guy tries to establish that he's "the boss" which lends me to believe he has a micropenis.

Absolute twat of a ref and probably a terrible human being.

Joe Cortez got bad toward the end and it culminated in the Mayweather/Ortiz incident. Granted, that event was much larger than Cortez was bad, but still, getting sloppy allowed one of the most notorious incidents in modern boxing. In a fight that was funbecause Victorwas relentlessly going after May, despite having little success.

Kenny bayless in mayweather-maidana 2.
The guy went in the with the mentality of not letting maidana get close to Floyd, and would spring across the ring to break them up if there was even the possibility that maidana could get Floyd up against the ropes.

The ref of broner-porter.
Apparently he forgot that the fight was a boxing match,and not a gay ****o,because he seemed to enjoy letting broner clinch Porter for 90% of the rounds.

The ref of berto-lopez
Everyone knows that josesito is tough as nails,and you'll have to give him hell to take him out. The guy was giving berto boxing lessons until berto snuck in that punch and knocked him down. Lopez got back up no problem,gets knocked down again,and the referee literally throws himself on Lopez,to prevent him from getting back up. Thus setting up mayweather-berto.

Whoever that bum was that ref'd Froch-Taylor. Stole a great win from Jermain.

Every good fight Joe Cortez has ever reffed

An absolute IDIOT

it doesn't get much worse than this

Howard Foster Groves Vs Froch 1, he ruined that fight and he robbed what was gonna be a win for Groves.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Richard Steele did what he did. Taylor wasn't responding.

That fight could have easily been stopped earlier. Taylor had not went down, but good lord. He was swollen, cut and bleeding internally. He had the wrong style to beat Chavez. He took a real beating that night.
