Bad Ref choice for Cotto/Gomez?

[GAME]

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

Same here.

This is good news . A fight should go on until a fighter cant or doesnt want to continue. Too many fights are stopped prematurley . A good ref gives a guy a chance and if he sees he has no hope then he will stop it.

Yea, but Neuman will let the fight continue even when a doctor and the fighter himself wants to quit. He is a piece of shit.

Gomez wasn't getting killed in there, and Cotto wasn't helping by "carrying him" the ref was looking for a reason to stop it, look how he called the doctors in, for what exactly? a cut? looking concust? there was no reason for the doc's to be in there but he wanted an excuse.

also these are big big fights and people pay a lot of money for them, these guys know what they are getting into, they should be ready to take a good few slaps and earn their money, an no one wants to get pulle dout after 2 or 3 rounds 'coz they become damaged goods.

Lets be honest, anyone think isreal or rafa took less punishment than gomez? just they were both going so they let it play on.
