Boxing board

Fairness and consistency in boxing? Don't be silly.

After his little outburst about the referee on Saturday, does that mean Mr Warren will be hauled in front of the boxing board? (just like Vanzie was)

This referee is appalling. He has a long history of poor performances and the WBU - or the Board - really do need to sort him out. He's too close to the action and more interested in getting himself in the limelight it seems. A good referee is never seen.
On that note, Joe Cortez had a bit of a stinker in the Hopkins-Allen fight in my opinion. He's been a good ref, but looked a bit old in there.

i think Cortez was fucked a round mentally. Cos he didn't want to be seen as being bias against Hopkins, and as a result appearedbias against Allen. This shouldn't of happened, he is supposed to be neutral, but after the things Hopkins has said you can perhaps understand what happened with Cortez....but it was a poor display.

the ref on saturday had a mare, but so did Terry O'Connor...but i think Warren will go unpunished.
