yeah I would have DQ'ed the Klitschkos countless times for dirty tactics, leaning on opponents to sap their energy, pushing their heads down, etc.
There have been plenty of times I would have given just about anything to see a quick DQ.
You are right, it would probably be your last refereeing job.
The bigger the fight, the more the referee makes which means the refs will turn a blind eye--sometimes--to the occasional foul. There are other times, in big fights, when you just know the ref is making a little something on the side, in my opinion.
I think the referees who work with the new pros should be more experienced--not less. They should also be very strict with the rules, calling every foul. They should be compensated with some coin for working with the new pros. New pros should not be allowed to get away with anything. Never going to happen, just something I've thought of before.
I have noticed, lately, that the young pros are committing more fouls than ever.
I have things to do, adios.
