Victor Loughlan, Great refereeing.

[saad muhammad]

I've been critical in the past with the ref's
in this country stopping fights too early, i
thought Loughlan did a great job, he didn't
paniic and gave Truscott every chance, and
the stoppage was bang on.
And a tremendous fight, credit to both men.

i agree and what a great advert for domestic boxing last nights fight was. A few like to get on the case of Sky for bad match ups but last night's fight and a lot of the fights they have lined up are crackers, long way it continue.

yep....already glad i turned my SS back on

I would have pulled Him after the 7th, no way He was pulling it round.

[alexpaterson]

I thought Laughlan was great last night didnt stop it to soon and came in at the right time saving Truscott anymore punishment

hes one of the best refs around on the british scene lets the action flow and doesnt always to go for the house fighter like some others

[chinny]

Good thread, totally agree

He even managed a rueful smile when Truscott wiped his bloody face all over his shirt!

[Jeff Thomas]

Watching from the corner it was brutal.... one of the most brutal fights i've ever seen. Truscy is a warrior. They really made a great start to the season.

Vic's a real picky git and he'll be really pissed off that you've spelt his name wrong, it's Loughlin

Only joking! I know him really well and he'll be amazed that he's got a thread all of his own, but he deserves it. I've never seen him get a stoppage wrong.

He doesn't get in the way of a good fight, doesn't jump in early and always has an eye on the action. Watch him after a knockdown, he takes a real close look at the boxer and talks to them. I've never seen a boxer complain about Victor calling a halt to the action and that speaks volumes.

ps. was that you in Simpson's corner Jeff?

[forcefraser]

Totally agree. He is one of the best refs that we have.

[robster]

check out this next time, somebody poster it in a previous thread.

When intoduced by the mc, he has a thousand yard stare which says, "I could kill any man in this room"

Great referee!

you are probably right. In any event he deserved the chance to try.

Good refing imo.

[stujones]

I think Loughlan is one of our finest refs and did a fine job on Friday night.

Good refing imo.

the corner should probly have pulled him , but think ref done very good job

[yogi]

unlike Ian John Lewis he doesn't seem to need to tell the boxers "I AM THE REFEREE"

[Olivia67]

it was good to see a referee not panic at the first sign of blood

interesting fact is that this ref also reffed

Moore v maklin & Quigley v Dodson

unlike Ian John Lewis he doesn't seem to need to tell the boxers "I AM THE REFEREE"

I can't stand him I cringe when he says I am the weferee

John Rawling took the piss last weekend, said something about IJL being the referee and how he always wondered who that was in the ring, with the white shirt and the bow tie. Can't remember the exact quote, but it was funny
