It's going to far that the fans request the BBB of C to review Terry O'Connor.. What planet are you on?
Have u ever heard of democracy and the right to call people to explanation for bad decisions, sport needs fairness..
It's a good thing we can REQUEST this.. I hope it does happen...

Dave Parris makes a mistake everybody jumps on is back....now this.A few years ago Franck Bruno hit a gay called John Emmen while he was on one knee nothing was said......a few weeks later a friend of mine called Wayne Windle did the same thing but not nearly as bad he gets chucked out it was the same ref in both fights ......Micky Vann nothing got said he made a mistake and a few others after but nothing like this every came about

It wasnt his refering I was unhappy with it was his judging I think this highlights the point that something need's to be done about ref's judging while ref'ing

He is supposed to be an experianced pro referee. When 99.9% think he was wrong then it has to be treated seriously. This is not the first time, he needs to go. How would you feel if your favourite football team won 3-1 and the ref awarded the match to the other side, if that was possible.

Judging is a skill you must have as part of being a Ref, I agree his 'action reffing' was ok, the judgement was very poor though.

We cant use judges for all matches, but there may be a case for the English/Scottish etc titles.

No I realise that but maybe 1 judge for a fight and a ref

Let me explain McDermott won but the ref gave it to Fury. Maybe its a silly analogy but surely you must see the principle of what I am saying. I made the point, if that was possible.

I'm going to ignore SOUTHPAW's trolling.
I've signed the petition.
Edit: Does anyone know if Terry O'Connor was a southpaw?

he gave 8 rounds out of a possible 10 to a man that was ajudged by the vast majority to have been beaten. Comfortably according to most.
Barring gross ineptitude or ,in an imaginary world, being on the take/ threatened, I would defy anybody to defend the above.

It's misleading. As soon as it takes you to the donation page it says that the top that your signature has been registered. You don't have to pay.
