I think Nady overall is a very good referee. The only real controversy he had before tonight was the Judah-Tszyu incident, and I think in that case he was simply protecting a fighter who was badly hurt. The only reason that call became a big deal was because Judah threw a temper tantrum.
Although, I have to say, this is now the 2nd time that Nady has missed a knockdown. He refereed the second Morales- Barrera fight, and in that fight Morales floored Barrera with a body shot, but Nady ruled that it was a slip.
Although it should be pointed out that in that fight and tonight's fight, the point for a knockdown wouldn't have made a difference in the judges' decision.
