Article: Should Ian John-Lewis be suspended for poor officiating?

[Kirkland Laing]

The BBB of C recently fired Ritchie Davies because he went to watch Haye-Chisora as a fan. Bought a ticket and everything.




So they'll sack somebody for something that petty but they probably gave Lewis a pat on the back for stopping the fight early. I'm sure these British stoppages are designed to prevent the possibility of another Michael Watson-style lawsuit should somebody get badly injured again. Watson nearly bankrupted them.

Like referees at football matches they need to be rested and put on refresher training.
