If you are involved in more than 2 decisions that seriously need reviewing then yoiu should be made to re-take your 'badge' exam ( if there is such a thing).
Much the same way that a person may be required to retake their driving test.
What do you think??
RED card systems for refs.
Re: RED card systems for refs.
I think last nights refereeing decision has pretty much been split between he should have been stopped, he was never going to win & it shouldnt have been stopped, but for me the judges are no better. Some of the scoring lately has been nothing but disgraceful.

Bankers are more likely to get their bonus's stopped.
Strange though because boxers themselves are scrutinised carefully enough, you are hauled before the board after 4 losses, often because of refs incompetance/corruption and your license is suspended untill the meeting, never happens with refs!

Re: RED card systems for refs.
Havnt seen the fight yet, i had an issue with an early stoppage.But saying that Howard Foster is the fairest ref iv had my lads in with.Early stoppages can be annoying but they are a safety first thing.
The ones i think that really need to be looked at are the absolutly ridiculous scores and home fighters not getting punished for fouls that we have seen recently that just ruins it for me.
Howard foster DQed a home fighter the night before and rightly so not something many refs will do.

Re: RED card systems for refs.
Foster has lots of form for premature stoppages.
There's a difference between a Marquez/Katsidis kinda stoppage where one of the fighters is pretty badly banged up and is too brave for his own good.... and a ''British stoppage'', where the home fighter throws a few flurries that mainly miss and the referee dives in.
Obviously it's a pretty split second thing, but the problem is the lack of consistency - in particular where foreign fighters are involved.

Re: RED card systems for refs.
I think last nights fight was an early stoppage but rightly. There was less and less coming from rafal but alot more coming from kel it was just a one sided beating and because he is a tough lad who didnt go down doesnt mean (in my opinion) that the beating should go on round after round.

That was no beating.jonny wrote:I think last nights fight was an early stoppage but rightly.

His head was never rocked back and he was never hurt.The finishing punches nearly all missed.
Re: RED card systems for refs.
He was getting a beating and landing nothing back, Kell made him look like the usual journeyman import not a world ranked fighter, as i said the fight was stopped early but for the right reason. I wasnt enjoying watching such a one sided fight. just my opinion thats all. I cant stand the 40/36, 60/54 unconpetitive fights and thats all this was for me.Speed997 wrote:That was no beating.jonny wrote:I think last nights fight was an early stoppage but rightly.

A proven fighter who can do 12 rounds AND a year ago lost a MD for the workld title should be allowed more oif a chance.jonny wrote:He was getting a beating and landing nothing back, Kell made him look like the usual journeyman import not a world ranked fighter, as i said the fight was stopped early but for the right reason.

If Kell was outboxed like that would the fight have been stopped? Nah.
