Most blatant case of referee helping out?

[Piper the Great]

Martinez vs Cintron

How TF you 10 count, wave the fight off, collect the score cards, then give them back and continue the fight

Joe Cortez not allowing Ricky Hatton to get on the inside versus Floyd.

Kenny Bayless taking direction from Floyd versus Maidana II.

This...had to be the most pathetic display ever

[GhostofDempsey]

Floyd clinches any time Maidana gets inside and Kenny immediately separates them to give Floyd distance and room to run. Maidana has to regain ground and work his way back to the inside chasing Floyd. This went on for the entire fight. Even Bernstein at ringside comments on how Bayless was breaking clinches that hadn't even happened yet. He also penalized Maidana for pushing Floyd down when in fact he did not push him down.

Good video that shows all of Floyd's clinches and Bayless offering protecting. Followed by a thorough synapses by Brian Kenny. Good read. He also mentions the Cortez bias in Hatton/Floyd.

Reid-Ottke.

the fight I came in here to post. But it was like that for most of his career in Germany. Refs and judges helped him out as he refused to fight anywhere else.

Cortez not allowing hatton to fight inside. Hatton still wouldn't have won but he would have made it uncomfortable for mayweather and probably would have heard the final bell.

LOL yeah! I forgot that

Thats the rematch right? I remember watching that with a bunch of casuals and even they were shocke that may was the one initiating clinch and yet maidana got a talkin to lol

Just a very confusing, probably bought out referee.

Having said that, also Maidana's fault for not being fit enough.

Saw the Reid vs. Ottke video. Shameful is an euphemism. Where in the world did that fat ****** came from, and how was he allow to officiate any professional boxing match? Pathetic. ****ing pathetic.

Personally, I think that referees in general allow waaayy too much clinching and holding. It's understandable when a guy is hurt & woobly, no more than that. Many examples come into mind, but the worst case I remember was Porter-Brook. Brook was clinching 50% of the fight and Russell didin't say a word.
