Sky Sports Pundits

[KTFOKING]

No it's understandable. It was a U.K. Card which was comprised of a lot of local Brits on it. So the Sky Sports announcing team was only doing their job.

They have a working relationship with Matchroom Boxing. Therefore, they were partial in favor of their local fighters. They have to help sell Eddie Hearn's talent roster.

If you are not a citizen of the U.K. It's hard to understand and I get that but it's just the way it is. What is unacceptable, however is the officiating; Because they are supposed to remain impartial and neutral while observing the fight.

I personally thought that it was horrible

Trust me, I've seen PLENTY of Matchroom/Sky Sports cards. I know how they are, but today was horrendous and it often times is like this. I don't care if they are former Matchroom fighters, they need to have some objectivity. They owe it to the viewers to be objective.

Officiating was bad, but foreign fighters teams keep allowing Ian John-Lewis to get these assignments. They need to make sure he is not the ref and put in a complaint to the BBBOC.

You make a very good point. Remember that's why the reason Roy Jones, Jr. Never crossed the pond to fight a Euro and defend his title because of situations like we witnessed tonight in the main event between Whyte and Parker. Dillian kept holding down Parker's head forearming him in the throat, pushing him over the ropes all night and the referee didn't so much as a deduct a single point from him. Personally, I wouldn't put it pass that some those British officials are on the take. They are thoroughly corrupt.

You could debate why RJJ never came, but he just felt he was THE top guy and A-side, and they should have come see him in the states. Like Joshua with Wilder, he is the shot caller and decides where he wants to fight. But the corruptness isn't only in the UK, it is everywhere. Smart teams make sure it is as even playing field as possible. I blame this on Parker's team more than anything.
