He seems to have lost it, the post listing his bad calls as either a ref or a judge is now very long. He used to be an exceptional ref, the best in the business for me back 4/5 years ago. I remember when Craig Docherty was defending his Commonwealth Super Feather title and him allowing Craig to continue with an horrendous cut - that was the first time I had ever disagreed with any call he'd made.

I think he needs to take a break, not retire - he's young and was fantastic but I think there are too many eyes watching his performances now and he is finding the pressure tough.

your right stu he was one of the best in the business iv seen him ref many a good fight and get the balance just right letting fights flow and breaking fighters up at the right times the prizefighter thing did him no favors but everyone must remember you can not score a prizefighter fight a draw and this puts pressure on the judges. the shannon briggs fight everyone was on his case, but to me there where no flurrys of punches that warranted a stoppage yes briggs took a beating but it was from a series of one two's and single big rights over 12 rounds no sustained attacks that a ref could jump in to. yes the enzo stoppage was shocking and im sure he knows he fu-ked that up but i bet he had in that back of his mind that enzo is shot and didn't want enzo to sustain any long lasting damage perhaps a break for him may be a good call stu

Who says that is the case?

Did the BBBofC declare that a Prizefighter fight could not be judged a draw?

When was it ever flipping announced that a Prizefighter judge could not score a Prizefighter fight a draw?

Apparently there is (or at least was) a contingency plan if a Prizefighter fighter is a draw - it goes an extra round.

I thought there was one stage in the Briggs fight (I think it was the end of the 7th round) in which Briggs was really rocked I think thats when it was getting beyond a joke that the fight continued. Even Briggs looked on like it HAD been stopped.

Hey Darcy i dont know if that used to b the rule but its not the same now only the promoter gets a list of whos working the show and apart from title fights the refs decide whos working which bout on the night.

IMO enzo shouldn't be licensed we have all seen him taken out bad style on numerous occasions.

There are people on here that don't realise that when a fighter suffers a certain ko there is no coming back as the damage is done!

Ricky v manny is one
