Terry O'Connor

[Stuarty]

How the fukk is this fat cabbage still getting work EVERY week? At best he's totally incompetent, at worst he's on the take or a bit of both! Why isn't he or any of the other usual suspects held accountable for their shocking scoring! If any of us on here were as bad at our jobs as he is at his then we be demoted or sacked! He's an ex pro as well!

[bripez]

Just like Mickey Vann - the promoter knows he is going to get what he paid for

[jameswilson]

Of all our referees I’ve always had him right down at the bottom as the worst of the lot.

That says it all really. He probably is the worst of a very bad lot.

Don't wanna come across all RuthlessRKO here, but...



Add to that Buatsi's non-DQ in the Quinlan fight, ignoring Liam Smith's wind-up headbutt on Williams, his scorecard in the first Fury-McDonnell fight... Our Tezza's long been a world-leader in shite officialdom.

They should let him have a go as the timekeeper for one fight, see if he can get the underdog counted out before they even go down.

Being a little unfair with the Cleverly incident. Totally normal behaviour for a ref to carry a fighter back to the corner if said fighter requests it.

I mean these guys are millionaires, you can't expect them to walk back to the corner unaided can you.

Eyaaa mate.. nothing wrong with posting tweets or videos.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I thought Terry retired recently?? Or was the IJL??

There is when they make up the vast majority of a thread and slow it down to the point of being unusable on mobile

[Twinkle Toes]

He did retire from reffing, but still judges.

He's terrible, the worst referee I have ever seen and now his judging.

[Nondescript]

Where's Pigg when you need him. Does the best O'Connor memes.

[handsofstone]

He's useless as both ref and judge, UK boxing officiating wont get any better until him and his like are gone for good

Mark Lyson seems to be getting more bog gigs lately and his reffing and scoring are suspect as well, Victor Loughlan used to be my fav but he's went right off the boil, Steve Gray is another who favours the favourite in both reffing and scoring

And what makes it worse that these Brits aren't near as bad as the foreign guys who they bring over for International fights , they guys are horrendous, some of their scores make even Eddie blush

[deadpan]

Not being flippant but could a petition be organised here?

Doesn’t slow down on my phone.. get a new phone.

[ewenhay]

Terry does exactly the job he's paid to do.

That's why he keeps getting invited back.

Oh f uck me look.

It's another person who thinks a petition is gonna make a difference to the World.

Getting it wrong?

What’s wrong for the sport is often right for the promoter

That’s goes for most refs and judges

[BroughtonRulesRefuge]

his scorecard in the first Fury-McDonnell fight... Our Tezza

- Never fought a McDonnell, but had Fury in 8th fight vs McDermott ahead wide only due to his failure to TKO Big John in the last rd when he literally turned his back on Tyson's Fury to sprint his blubber to the opposite side of the ring to save himself.

Then picking up the dead carcass of Clev after getting KOed by Kov to his corner for resuscitation so Clev could be knocked out again.

Poor Clev and Big John were never the same since, but the p4p worst boxing officials would be a nightmare to compile yet dwarfed by the all time worst fanboys.

Thankfully Valhalla has already sorted the chaff from the greats.

[REEVE]

Kevin parker is the best and fairest ref on the curcuit

[MightyWarrior]

As soon as I heard his name on the score cards for Smith Ryder you just knew it was going to be heavily in favour of the home fighter. Without a doubt. He is an incompetent buffoon and should be retired right away

[bennie]

I watched him fight a few times. He was terrible but there was something about foreign travel that raised his game because he scored a few decent wins overseas. Perhaps they should ship him abroad as an official.

[Coco]

20 odd years ago I rated him.
I then boxed on a show where he gave the decision to Darren Corbett against Rob Norton after the Irishman was clearly outfoxed and out punched.
Since then he seems to get worse and worse. The Cleverley fight was embarrassing
