GHAD DAMNIT- Arthur Mercante Jr. in another, near-fatal boxing match!!

[Violent Demise]

Mercante Jr. has had way too many bad calls... no other ref is as bad at making calls as him.

What's with the Mercante Jr. hate? I don't think I ever seen panic and stop a fight early like Jay Nady. Or look like he just doesn't know what the fuck to do, blowing calls left and right like Joe Cortez. He did an outstanding job on Miguel Cotto-Yuri Foreman as well as Cotto's fight against Zab Judah. He's a good ref.

Yep, mercante jr is one of the worst refs I've ever seen.

[bradlee180]

Ya know ya got a seriously bad ref when a distinguished man like the late Emanuel Steward says he would consider pulling a fighter out of a fight if mercante jr were involved...

[bradlee180]

Miquel Cotto vs Yuri Foreman
Zab Judah vs Reggie Green

George Khalid Jones vs Beethaeven Scottland
Pernell Whitaker vs. Diobelys Hurtado
Razor Ruddock vs. Michael Dokes
Michael Bennett vs. Andrew Hutchinson

mercant jr is on his way to unseating tony perez as all-time worst...

[Fenster]

People are defending him? Weird

[bradlee180]

Only a $#!t-head would defend mercante jr....

I thought the people defending him were joking... the job he did on Yuri Foreman was as bad as any other fight I have seen him officiate.
