Stop blaming refs. now I agree there have been bad refereeing BUT to say Steels the worst ever is IMO an exaggeration.



Actually Steele is a great ref but we all know since Mancini/Kim he has been punch shy...I don't say he is a bad ref but not the guy you want in bouts where there are big punchers involved or a guy has solid wiskers..Steele will stop a fight quick when it comes top abuse...This is a good thing in a way but he does tend to go a little overboard
Richard Steele didn't even ref Mancini-Kim.



No but once in an interview after the Taylor-Chavez fight and why he stopped it with just seconds left he made reference to it about how the bout was mishandled and it was poor judgement that caused Kim's death...Said he rather err on side of caution than have to live with such a thing on his conciense ( or how ever you spell it)...Then started on something about being able to fight another day ect...This was his excuse in the interview I dont know what goes through the mans mind
