what was the ref on in the ricky burns fight?

[kevin-novice]

touching and ******ing the boxers all the time! he's like an octopus.

never seen that style of reffing before,

It was disgraceful.

You can't continuously grab a fighters arm and throw it out of the way, you just can't. What happens if you grab a fighters arm and in the process he gets hit with a huge shot while defenceless?

One of the worst ref performances I have seen.

He was doing his duty for texas, protecting the new Jaun Diaz.

[kevin-novice]

it was so strange.

[JACK1190]

Absolutely terrible! He should be banned for grabbing his arm like that all the time. Shocking!

[kevin-novice]

will ricky put in a complaint?

[PACnPBFsuck]

He was doing his duty for texas, protecting the new Juan Diaz.

It was the “great” Laurence Cole. He could mess up anything.

I've actually seen fights where refs did that before. I didn't like it then and I don't like it now. Referees should be reviewed and critiqued after each fight (if they aren't now).

man you can tell you guys are new boxing fans, that been his style of reffing since day one. I love that style, if you dont want that to happen stop holding, hes no gonna break the acting his gonna break the hold.

Omar has brittle hands -- that is why he went for an inside brawl, while throwing a very limited amount of power punches. This kind of tactics forced Burns to hug a lot. Figueroa paid no attention to defense, as he knew that Burns has little punching power... The fight was very boring.
