Jay Nady – another very poor ref performance.

[Kevil]

Should Jay Nady ever be allowed to ref a big fight again after yesterday’s performance? Once again we saw an American ref helping and protecting the “native” American boxer.

In many situations it looked like Nady was a member of team Rahman.

So I take it you think that the stoppage on the Zab-Tszyu was a bad stoppage?


All I saw was the last rd. of rahman-maskaev IMO it was a good stop rahman was a done deal. Regardless of how much time was left or what he had done in previous rds.

The stoppage was fine but it was not okay that Nady throughout the fight was attacking Oleg for holding and then when Rahman needed to rest and survive then he didn’t asked Rahman to stop holding. Rahman was holding Nady, Oleg and Oleg’s legs without being warned or asked to stop. That was not fair when Oleg could not even get close to Rahman before being warned from Nady.

The famous “glove trick” that Nady ran in the start of rd. 12 to let Rahman get extra time to relax and breath was very bad sportsmanship and fortunately the American audience also responded with buhs.

I don’t see how you are able to get a point of bringing the Zab-Tszyu stoppage into this fight?
