People complain about bad judges. This ref is an ass. Someone needs to tell him this isn't about him !
Did you catch the name of the ref?

Based on that performance, im not looking forward to the semi final against Usyk.
Usyk should clown him but Briedis will have a punchers chance.

No. Don't understand the language. Why is his name ironic?

No I was just wondering because he might have to go on a list of sh*t officials, but it'll be easy enough to find out his name later if need be.

How can he have a punchers chance when he cant punch? Perhaps he will have a bear hug chance. Maybe he can squeeze a life out of him.

Didn't look like much of a puncher tonight. I think Usyk will kick his ass thoroughly.

I hate refs who take forever giving warnings and ones who give too many warnings.
The ref looked like a drunk at a party following a couple around.

briedis can punch and wobbled perez about 3 times. he smothers his own work though and doesnt capitalize on it.

Well he's got a great KO ratio nonetheless. Perez has came down from heavyweight and outside of the Povetkin knockout, he always showed a great chin.

Notice how the best 2 fighters he's fought are the last 2, and those are 2 of the 4 he didn't stop. Funny how that works.

Yeah, thats a fair point. He did absolutely ice Charr though, which was impressive considering the size difference. Even Vitali didnt quite do it, in that fashion.

He could not hurt Huck either, was reduced to running. He cant hope to stop high level opponent with one lucky punch in my opinion. Especially Usyk, who is tough as nails. He might try to spoil it but realistically I cant see a chance for Briedis.

usyk--briedis will be awful too. not a good mix of styles to have. i bet after that people will start to overrate the chances of the winner of the other side of the bracket. they will almost certainly come across as more impressive (probably an explosive gassiev-dortiscos fight), but i still cant see past usyk.

My feed didn't cut to that, so I just saw a narcissistic ref and 2 guys hugging each other.
Or maybe I was refilling my drink then.

That was terrible. Crap hugging fight, crap Italian ref, crap Ron.
Pretty sure after the cut Ron said the blood running into his eye would make him a one armed fighter

I think that is very likely. Briedis is good and tricky enough to make Usyk fight ugly. I am hoping Ukrainian manages to soften him and stop him late but its unlikely.
