    when wilder knocked out stiverne in their second fight, that referee not only stopped deontay from landing the next few punches that could have destroyed stiverne, but he was right on time and was even able to ride his back, even though wilder tried to throw him off, and then he physically walked him back to his corner talking to him the whole time until wilder was calmer. I imagine that to control a guy like deontay when he's hyped and throwing punches is like trying to ride an angry bull. that was some of the best work I've ever seen by a referee.

      Jack reiss is terrible, always desperate to be center of attention, he never goes a full fight without shutting the **** up.
      A good reff is one that is barely noticed. Not someone who tries to make the whole thing about them at every opportunity

        The best referees are the ones that go unnoticed.

        Any referee that's well known is only well known for the wrong reasons because they're ****.

          If you like seeing fights stopped prematurely then yes, Harvey Dock is the best. You'll never get a classic fight with Harvey Dock as the referee. Personally, I like Steve Smoger and Arthur Mercante.

              They are usually the unsung heroes of boxing bouts as they determine who wins in very competitive bouts between two elite boxers.
              None who ref Floyd fights those refs allow elbows and excessive holding for the Champ

                And the best British ref in my opinion was Richie Davies.
