Though IJL for me is the worst judge in british boxing and worst all round official
We look forward to his pre fight speech - "i'm the referee ...."
I like him for his sheer enthusiasm if nothing else, you can tell he's overjoyed to be involved. When Badou Jack landed one on him he absolutely loved it - happy to be a boxer again for a split second
Robert Smith essentially defending him, boxing is too far gone, it’s almost as if it was back when the mafia controlled it, Ritson corner should be drug tested thinking that he won that and easily. Madness

I remember when Smith took over the board, he was going to root out corruption and nepotism, an ex fighter who cared about the lads.

I don’t think ‘the board’ should even exist. It’s a scam. A racket.

You couldn't have put it better. Corruption is a topic he should be grabbing by the horns. I genuinely don't think he is interested. Terry O'Connor is not the problem. The Board are
He should never officiate again, looking at your phone instead of the fight is shit form. Bare minimum they have to look at his phone. he litraly could be on the bookies. or sending through the winner on his card to a mate to bet live. Or getting instructions on how to judge the card.
Then when his card is swung to the reveres of most peoples view. Why would you fight in England if your not the A side...
The way Hearn has thrown him under the bus - i hope other judges see this. Hearn has singled him out, talked about how something must be done etc. I'm speculating here but based on some of the shockers I've seen from O'Connor that have benefited Hearn fighters, O'Connor may feel aggrieved about Hearns conduct.

Without a doubt. A house ref / judge if ever there was one. Helped out 1000s of fighters for all the main UK promoters - everyone knows it, but turns a blind eye ...until it’s time to take him out and put one in the back of the head.
