You and me both man. I'm glad somebody else holds a grudge against Weeks over that one. That was probably the worst emotional reaction I ever had to a fight.

I had predicted Castillo KO 10 for months, and then when it was on the verge of happening and SHOULD've happened because Weeks should've stopped the fight after the 2nd time Corrales spit the bit.

I always say I want to examine the financial records of these Las Vegas referees, like Weeks here, Joe Cortez, etc etc - their income tax returns, credit card statements, recent expensive purchases - before and after the mob fights they worked in Las Vegas.

He should have stopped it without a count on the second kd. Corrales was toast.

Team ward have lot of money. Weeks got around 1 million, his role was to look away and in never deduct a point from ward.

That was even what JLC said in the post match interview. When they asked was he hurt when the fight he was stopped "Oh yeah, I was hurt, but why didn't he stop the fight when Corrales was hurt just as bad a minute ago?"

Yup, corrales was much worse off. That rematch was poetic justice.

Nothing, he's just a crappy ref.

Remember when he missed this headbutt?

No I disagree. It was a close, great fight.

Corrales had been knocked down twice. 10-7
PLUS
Corrales got deducted a point. 10-6

A 10-6 round in the 10th round of close EXCITING fight was enough punishment.

He must have great peripheral vision or something, because he's blind as a bat when looking directly in front of him.

I actually thought he did a superb job that night.. Deducted the point from Diego rightfully so, and once Castillo stopped defending himself against the ropes he halted the bout.

I guess this will be locked like the other Ward vs. Kovalev II threads.
