Hell Yeah!!!! I mean he was mocking Manny's power by crossing his eyes and making funny faces........

Vincent Pettway "ko"ing Simon Brown was clearly premature...I mean Brown was still punching back for crying out loud

Jim McDonald was also being held down when Azumah nelson had knocked him down in the last round. Sure he would have got up.

Given your nickname, kudos for being able to poke fun and laugh about what must've been a shattering experience.

It's not easy being a ref, especially when it's time to stop a fight. You're always going to be second-guessed. Some will think it was too soon... others will think it was too late... and a few will think it was just right.

One of the best jobs at this, IMO, was the classic Corrales-Castillo I. The ref could've easily stopped it after Corrales went down a second time. But he didn't, and then came Corrales now famous comeback. When he finally DID stop it, the Castillo fans felt cheated. But he did the right thing. Castillo didn't go down, but he was against the ropes and his hands had dropped to his sides. He was defenseless.

Like I said, it's not easy being a boxing ref.

Most refs would have stopped the ward v gatti fight after that body shot but in a way i am glad he did not, it made the fight more legendary.
