Comments Thread For: Terry O'Connor Cleared By British Board in Phonegate Scandal

Probably he was watching a live stream of the fight rather than the actual action.

Great idea by Terry O'Connor, he was getting the 'Slow-motion' replays during the breaks ; a step ahead of the other judges, is what the BBBofC says.

Yeah, the only problem being that his scoring brain works in slow motion as well

This was Terry O'Connor during the inquisition.

Can someone please explain what the hell he was holding then 🤷*♂️ and regardless of what it was why was he looking at it and not watching the fight? Makes no sense why he is cleared. We need further explanation

“In addition, Mr O’Connor’s scoring of the bout was considered and whilst judging a contest is subjective and following Mr. O’Connor’s explanation of how he scored the bout, the Stewards are satisfied that Mr O’Connor’s final score reflected his own opinion of the contest.”

holy fck! judging a fight shouldn't be an "opinion" it should be based on whats taking place. with this logic that 119 card from Lederman was perfectly fine since it was just her "opinion".

we might need to use robots to score these fights then. this "opinion" system will continue to cause backlash.

"perspective", according to The Big Dunn. Just her "perspective".

That was fury vs McDermott, McDermott was blatently robbed and later it was revealed McDermotts dad had beaten o'connor back in the amateurs, so he seemed to have kept the vendetta and took it out on his son

Yup that's the truth he held a grudge against the McDermott family how the in the hell he was allowed to judge that fight is beyond me.

All scandals aside that judge should never be allowed to judge a fight again plain and simple same goes for a few in the United States as well as certain referees but it seems nothing will happen on either side.

Officials should be banned from carrying phones into arena's.

I am not really bothered about the incident, but in general? Banning phone's from arena's will be great.

That’s ridiculous to say he is slow. He had scored every round before the fight even started
