Thread: Sorry, but last night Maccaranelli vs Frenkel Ref / SPOILER**

Man, I thought the decision to allow Enzo to continue last night was horrifying while I was there live. I actually found myself shout no when the ref let him continue. Now I have seen it replayed on youtube, it has to be one of the worst refing decisions I have ever seen. It was simply outrageous. I had a decent seat , and even from where I was I could see that enzo was done. He didn't look at the ref and also didn't make any attempt to lift his arms never mind his hands.

Whats everyone elses thoughts........

Was very bad mate, Imagine it was Frenkel in the same situation he would of been waved off before the count had started, Warren card means Warren rules it seems, stupid decision Enzo could of been badly hurt there.

Watching that made me think back to that fat lump of lard Terry O Conner, when he waved off the Manfredo/Calzaghe fight in ridiculous circumstances but then year or so later let Khan carry on v Prescott after loooking like he had 20 double Brandys.

Always the same when it's the home fighter involved.

Should never be allowed to ref again. Terrible. The second shot could literally have killed him. It's very dangerous to take a shot like that when suffering a concussion. I hope Enzo is ok.

Shocking decision to let him carry on.Only one out come aftern that ,that was Enzo taking more punishment till he was ko'ed.

Looking at the video now he couldn't even lift his arms to throw a punch, very bad ref.

I was glad maccrinelli recovered , but was very pleased he got knocked out.

Really bad shouldn't be allowed to ref again

Here it is

Was leathal!

One of the KO's of 2010. The second was brutal.

Enzo's corner should have not let him get back up.

Yeah it was terrible reffing. Enzo was clearly gone and he really didnt need to last 2 brutal haymakers.

Thats another thingI thought about. No way on earth he should havebeen allowed to continue, by no-one. His corner are guilty too, although not as guilty as the ref. His license to referee should be revoked no danger..... Thought I was being over critical at the time, as I was horrified. But a just opinion in this case. Saying he could have been killed is a cert also. I was very worried for him when he went the way he did and was glad to see him get up, although he still couldn't walk afetr however many minutes it was. The way he slumped onto the stool after they carried him over there, he was still well out of it.

Even from the cheap seats we could see that Enzo was not in a state to continue, if you come back after a knockdown with your hands at waist height and staggering, it has to be stopped.

Hope he hasn't taken any lasting damage, he has had quite a few savage KO's now.

anyone know where i can see it?

it was bad but not terrible, the outcome of course was horrific and could of been tragic on another night

i would say the peter stoppage was far more damning on the refs side than this one

I was in upper 9 and nearly missed the first ko as I was watching the trouble in the crowd but turned round to see him knocked down for the first time and was amazed he got up. Was stood up and when he got knocked down again, was literally speechless. Hands on my head. Absolutely disgraceful decision to let him carry on - his corner needs to take some of the blame as well in my opinion. It is down to his corner to protect him - I'd have thrown the towel in after that. He could have been killed. Was quite uncomfortable seeing the replays to be honest - Enzo is a top bloke and you would hate to see anyone knocked out like that - especially when it could've been avoided.
