John Coyle allowing Arthur to take the final few blows from Gomez comes to mind. Any others?

Enzo getting stopped in the McKenzie fight, Clev getting carried back to his corner by Big Terry against Kovalev... There's thousands.

I thought Terry O'Connor was awful in the first Williams v Skelton fight. Skelton must have got about 30 warnings for various things during the fight. Holding behind the head and hitting was always a favourite of Skelton. Not one single point taken off all fight.
Re: Worst refereeing jobs done in British rings??
I guess this doesn't really count.
Terry O'Connor in the first Tyson Fury vs John McDermott fight.
He scored the fight 98-92 in favor of Tyson Fury and he was in the bloody ring with them refereeing. He could have gotten a prison sentence for that decision. McDermott won that fight by 4 rounds.

Not in a british ring but IJL allowing Briggs to near on be decapitated against Klitschko was awful.

This gave Frank Maloney a heart attack right? Or was it a different McDermott fight?

Wasn`t that Price`s first loss to Thompson? The second made him chop his own marbles off.TheLeprechaun wrote:Exoddus wrote:I guess this doesn't really count.

Big tezza carrying Cleverly to his corner against Kovalev was funny.

Absolute joke refereeing though.
Re: Worst refereeing jobs done in British rings??
Terry O Connor for letting nearly getting cleverly killed by Kovalev.
.......... calling low blows in the Linares v Crolla fight because Crolla told him they were when they clearly were not.
......... for letting Khan continue v Breidis Prescott after the first knockdown. He was completely gone you could see it in Khans eyes.

Without a doubt was a BAD robbery
Yeah your right Frank had a Heart attack that night.
From 18mins you only have to watch a min of the fight but NO way should of it of been Stopped, I was in trouble in either the 3rd or 4th round and if the ref had of stopped it then I couldn't of complained..

That decision is the reason English title fights are now scored by three judges.ShadrachSimmo wrote:No I think your right. One of the truly worst decisions I've ever seen.TheLeprechaun wrote:Exoddus wrote:I guess this doesn't really count.

Poor Frank Maloney never had a lot of luck over the last ten years, did he? Didn't Sutherland die the week after Fury-McDermott?

To be fair to the ref, Fury has gone on to do what McDermott would never have even contemplated, so probably the best decision after all.

Terry O'Connor is disgraceful. Out of shape and out of touch. McDermott IMO won that fight against Fury as much as i love the gypsy king.
