Thread: Greatest Thing I've Seen From a Ref

This is the Terry Norris-John Mugabi fight. I don't know what this ref's name is but he should be given every big fight. Mugabi get's dropped and barely beats the count and deliberately takes out his mouthpiece and drops it on the canvas, hoping the ref will pause the action and pick it up and send him to a neutral corner to have it washed off and put back in, and instead of falling for this age old con or stopping the fight to take a point away like most would do, this ref just looks at it on the ground and let's Mugabi get his @ss beat without it, classic:

I'm not a big fan of Joe Cortez, but you should've seen him in David Diaz v Ramon Montano bout in Pac-JMM II undercard. He did an amazing trick with the lose tape on the glove. I hope someone would post a youTube video of it here.

ref from matrix was awesome:

Fwockin-A BoomBoom! lol! You remember that too?

Cortez was awesome that night.

Norris was looking some some vindication after Jackson blasted him.Man I miss Wide world big time.After that left hook,Mugabi was drunk until the end.I don't even know if Ekerd saw it come out,He let it sit right there on top of the "B" until finish It would'nt have mattered.....Norris was in a zone.

Terry Norris was a baddass, he had that shaky chin, but he had power and had good skills when he wanted to use them. I just wish he could've had the chance to fight Tito or DLH. I remember at one time he was supposed to fight on or both of them at one point.

He always seemed to take heat for matching with Smaller guys....or "past It" fighters.There was all sorts of talk about Norris in the p4p ranks topping Chavez and a possible Whitaker fight.There was even a tentative Match with Buddy Mcgirt I believe in 92 but The execs and Mcgirts team had some sort of falling out.Ive always liked Norris,but often had problems controlling his emotions

micky vann in earl katsidis was amazing lol

Seriously I couldn't believe that. Never seen that before. He liked that fight to much, didn't want it to end.

What Mickey Vann did was great on the night (especially for our entertainment sake) but with hindsight that was a serious wrong'un. He took a gamble that he shouldn't have.

That Mugabi dude got an all expenses paid trip to Disneyland courtesy of Norris. Holy cow!!!

Wonder if that ref took any heat over the mouthpiece thing

Yeah I agree. A referee should never throw a towel back that is ignoring a fighter's safety especially considering no one knows their man better then the cornerman.

Earls trainer split with him after that fight because he believed he was finished. Next fight he lasted 90 seconds with Khan. Maybe he was right.

That would be Ref. Eddie Eckert who started getting the big fights in the late 80's after paying his dues for some years. Eckert is more remembered for being the Ref. at a lot of the MAJOR lower weight fights.

Not only did he do that with the tape he also caught the mouth piece as it flew out and then quickly put it back in place.

That's Ref. Arthur Mercante Jr. who did that...

I see your point Fens, but that's why Smoger is a well respected Ref. who is liked. Cause he knows when to let a fight go and when to stop it.
