the ref in that argentianan coggi fight who stepped in when home boxer was about to get knocked out.he gave homeboxer a very long break and guy recovered to win. there was blartantly no good reason for him to pause the fight and was obvious corruption.by far worst ive seen.

the german ref manfred kuchler also has a history of disqualifing fighters for knocking out german based boxers. Look at salif-petkovic and hammermathis.

also that guy who tried to dq baktov in kretcshman fight when he hit kretch after the big german signalled that he wanted out.

Cortez with Floyd against Hatton was pretty vile.

Terry O'Connor scoring the McDermott fight to Tyson Fury by a landslide was a fuckin joke! Remember he also held Nathan Cleverly up when Krusher pounded him :lol:

Lawrence Cole is right up there. Several fights. Always protects the house fighter to absurd crooked levels. Worst US ref easy.

Joe Cortez spoiled Hatton vs Mayweather with his constant interfering and not allowing Hatton to work on the outside (not that I think he’d have won).

Terry O’Conner allowed Amir Khan to continue against Prescott when there was no way he was fit to continue. There was no way terry was having Khan stopped unnecessarily on his..watch.

Propping him up that blatantly as early as round 2 isn't helping him do anything other than get killed.

The guy that was being propped up actually went on to win the fight amazingly...but yeah that was definitely ridiculously dangerous.

Tony weeks allowing corrales to spit out his mouthpiece intentionally and giving him the time to rob Castillo. Steele robbing Taylor and Randall against Chavez.

That Tony Weeks one hurt me. I wasn't watching yet for the Chavez/Taylor situation, but it seems very ridiculous, and Taylor should've gotten his deserved decision win that night.

Steele told Chavez he was ahead against Randall so he quit from a butt with virtually no blood to go to the cards.

Khomitsky was beating Stieglitz for 9 rounds, but in the 10th, referee Stefano Carozza gave Stieglitz a stoppage win because Khomitsky corner was taping his gloves for too long.

On the biggest stage, Ricky Hatton found himself up against 2 opponents in Las Vegas that night back in 2007, Floyd Mayweather AND Joe Cortez.

I'm not sure whether that criminal Cortez could have done much more to help Mayweather that night. He kept a very close watch on proceedings and his timing and interference was perfect that night. Nice work Joe!

The worst I've ever seen is Tony Weeks stopping Kovalev-Ward II on low blows and giving the fight to his favorite.

Another is the way Robert Byrd refereed Mayweather-McGregor... Floyd was going to win anyway... He didn't need all your help.

In the first Wladimir-Brewster fight Byrd harassed Wlad for a minimal amount of holding... Floyd held like crazy in Mayweather-Guerrero with methodical breaking by Byrd and not a single warning -- just, "No NO NO NO NO... NO PUNCHING, whenever Guerrero had an arm free..

And the worst I've ever seen is Lou Moret in the Guerrero-Berto fight... Guerrero closed Berto's eyes with thumb strikes.. Wrestled him like a cowboy bulldogging a steer... and engaged in holding and hitting with impunity throughout the fight.. The worst was the final bell clanging away at least 30 times with Gerrero punching away non-stop for about 20 seconds after the round ended.. Moret acted like he didn't see that.. Just like Lewis swung a big left hook at Vitali well after the 6th round bell started clanging away.. Moret is freakin' blind as a bat or somebody put money in his pocket.

Richard Steele in the Mayweather-Judah fight.. Judah decked Floyd plain as day.. Steele clearly saw it, but signaled "no knockdown."

Joe Cortez in the Kirk Johnson-John Ruiz fight.. He harassed Johnson the whole fight while Ruiz was fouling like crazy.. He DQ'd Johnson for a borderline low blow that hit the top of the waistband.. And once after he stopped the action to harass Johnson, Ruiz walked up and headbutted Johnson right in the face.. And then the shocked Cortez trying to appear even handed he yelled at Johnson "You want to be disqualified?" ... and turned to Ruiz and yelled facetiously "Do YOU want to be disqualified?" ... I thought "Yeah right... Like you're going to DQ Ruiz you sack of shiit."
