Bad Referees & Fights ruined by them

Richard steele didn't ruin anything, Taylor should've been paying attention when Steele was screaming at him asking Taylor if he was ok to continue, he was looking around looking like he didn't know where he was.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?
so what do you expect?Comment

This, I'm a Meldrick Tayllr fan but when people complain about the Chavez stoppage I know they're missing a few screws.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.
Chavez bested Taylor that night, we have people saying Steele should have spared Taylor from the lost but no way was he the winner that night.
It doesn't matter how much time was left Taylor was not fit to continue.Comment

I'd argue Cortez in Floyd vs Ortiz. Whatever you think about what Floyd did, the bottom line is that there was no clarity offered. Cortez was responsible for making sure the fighters, judges and viewers knew when the fight was live and when it wasn't, and he didn't do that.Comment
