I didn't see this but it was discussed heavily by the British commentary team that Jay Nady during his pre fight instructions in PBF's dressing gave him some serious nut hugging?
Apparently he told Floyd that it was an 'Honour and privilege to referee such a great champion' etc etc.
Can anyone confirm this?
If so what do you think as this is not acceptable, referees have to be impartial and unbiased, in most other sports this may have been enough to call a no contest or end the game and I'm sure Baldomir's team would have had something to say if the fight ended controversially!
This is no reflection on PBF who deserved his win but Nady needs to be looked at very closely!
