    English referees are in general the worst referees in the world when it comes to helping their countrymen win fights. Povetkin will have two opponents in the ring, The ref might DQ him for punching too hard.

        Actually no one would know because I’m pretty sure his family history was unfortunately wiped out as many American blacks were brought over in the trans Atlantic slave trade.

        Unlike some black immigrants in England who can actually trace their heritage.

                100% agree That ref. in the tatam fight was Terrible!

                        Not ideal, they should get an American ref who will be neutral. But I'll take a British ref and a British stoppage over the Italian that refereed the Parker fight. In fact most continental refs are garbage from what I've seen.

                            I agree with the main point but I think Foster is actually the lesser evil out of the usual suspects. He has the odd howler but his general fight management is good as long as he keeps his composure. He's definitely more in-fighting friendly than most of them

                            Ian John Lewis on the other hand has absolutely no redeeming features, he's just a disgrace
