who is the worst referee in the UK

I think British boxing has the worst referring in the game today, they even top Germany and Italy for home decisions.
We all like to see English fighters do well (accept for Johnny Nelson, Hamed, Ryan Rodes) but not when they don’t deserve it, it doesn't’t matter that we suffer in their countries (not that many English fighters travel abroad i.e. Joe the bottle calzaghe), due to bias refereeing so we try to level the score, that’s not how it should work, we have seen some of the worst in the world over last 10 years.
If you’re an African coming over to fight for the (Empire) Commonwealth title you might as well forget it unless your heavy handed, as you have know chance of winning on points.
The main culprits are John Coyle, and Dave Parris, the pair are so corrupt that English boxing is becoming a joke, even the Italians are shaking there heads.
This has to stop are the sport we love will be tarnished for ever.

That was Terry O'Connor, he's normally a good ref.

Mickey Vann, he's equally as bad as a judge as well

Actually he's even worse as a judge.

He's a disgraceful judge. He is what i like to call an democratic judge. if 20 people shout support at one fighter and another 21 shout support to the other fighter he gives the rond to the second fighter no matter what. He's an average ref, which in the UK is not a good thing.
