    Its a hazard,if the ref doesnt see it,or the other fighter doesnt see it,theyre going skating


    That's ridiculous. Health and safety gone mad.

    So they decided there's more chance of someone injuring themselves slipping on a towel than a fighter taking unnecessary blows because a corner can't get the refs attention?

    Most of the time,the ref's got a better view of the fighter anyway. Most of the time its the ref or the ring doctor who pulls the fight long before the corner wanted it stopped

    Yeah, of course, but thats not the point is it

    You've seen plenty of live fights, right? How many times have you seen the ref slip on a towel thrown in to stop a fight?

    Relax. This is not an interrogation, Monkey.

    I just want to know if you've personally seen a ref deck it by way of towel thrown into ring?

    Slippery wet spots? We were discussing TOWELS!!!.. for fucks sake

    Considering you're unable to give a simple answer - YES or NO, I take it you have NEVER seen a ref go arse over tit from a towel chucked in to save a fighter
