Bad Ref choice for Cotto/Gomez?

[amat]

Cool i like a ref who will let the fight go on.

It's unfair to say he stopped the Gatti fight too late. It was stopped at the right time its just that Larry Hazard had to jump into the ring and called it off not allowing Newman the chance.

He most likely would have stopped it anyway.

Beyond that, why is it that ref's get their entire careers judged on the back of a single fight?

Cortez is now labelled as someone who won't allow in fighting and is seen as a problem referee becuase of one fight, now this Newman guy people think won't stop a fight when a fighter is getting a beating because of the Gatti fight

Agreed on that last point. I love the amount of praise Mickey Vann gets from the Brits but Cortez gets trashed? Makes me think of JCC-Whitaker when it was Cortez who did a great job in a huge fight and Vann blew it on the scorecards.

Neumann isn't to bad of a ref, I watched Peter - Klitschko last night and thought he did a good job in that one.

Neumann Not so bad but can be a little abrasive. Larry Hazzard Will not be ringside ready to pounce into the ring and stop the fight himself ,maybe Neumann will keep it fully proper.Ive seen in more than a few fights that those two just seemed to Butt heads.

I like Smoger but he does those little "dance" moves lol.

Whoops....Not Neumann that was spotty with Hazzard.... I actually think It was Ed o'Neil ??
