Howard Foster (spoilers)
Re: Howard Foster (spoilers)
I think he sees someone slightly hurt, decides he's going to stop the fight, waits for a single decent shot to be landed but by that time the fighter has often recovered anyway. I'm not saying every referee has to be like Steve Smoger but Foster is the other end of the spectrum.

Re: Howard Foster (spoilers)
Being a referee in any sport is a thankless task you will always upset 50% of those involved. In pro boxing the amount of chirping at the referee by the cornermen is unreal. Ive heard and said by the way some crazy stuff to referees. Our british refs are brilliant guys who have only got the safety of the boxers in mind. Please consider this when you abuse them . If a football ref gets it wrong then a goal is disallowed if a boxing ref gets it wrong then somebody could die ....
every experience ive had with howard which includes 2 british title fights and a world title fight he has acted in an exemplary manner refereed the fights well. And has always been approachable before during and after the fights

Football refs get routinely abused far more than boxing.
And the claim the refs only have the fighter's safety in mind is ridiculous. All round the world refs are extremely biased to the home / promoter's boxer..... have you watched many fights in your time? Even on amateur club shows some of the favouritism show to the home corner is blatant....
(Or are you a ref yourself standing up for your kind?)

I agree with you that on the continent and in the states the refs are super biased to the promoters fighter. But i happen to believe that our refs are genuinly honest guys. A belief i have formed over years of being a pro coach involved in ALL types of boxing matches . You seem to have a bee in your bonnet about something ive posted kid. But im speaking from experience. Where the fornicate are you coming from . You can pm me if you want and i will happily give you my number if you want to phone me you tit. Youve fronted me a little bit there mr no name
