Was Tommy Kimmons being unfair to Quintana?

[Lance Uppercut]

Now the fight ended in a KO, so it really doesn't matter that much, but it seemed like Quintana was fighting Berto and Referee Tommy Kimmons.

First he knocked Berto down, and Kimmons did not give him credit for it.

Then Berto kept putting his head down, essentially causing Quintana to hit him on the side of the head. WHen Berto complained (which he often did) Kimmons seemed to take him at his word and continually warn Quintana. Thus throwing him off his game plan.


With all of the complaining, I think Berto acted a bit like a bitch. I will be sure to root against him next time.

As much as I wanted Quintana to win, I felt he didn't do crap in there. Sure... Berto complained a bit too much, and the ref seemed a bit trigger happy with Quintana. But Quintana didn't show me squat. Berto was going to win a one-sided decision if he didn't knock Quintana out. Berto would be massacred by any of the elite WW's, but against Quintana he looked world class. I was horribly disappointed in Quintana's performance.

Berto for all his frustrating flaws, was too much for Quintana. It didn't matter who was reffing in there.

he actually started out decent, i had him winning the first two rounds, cause he kept jabbing and turning Berto, and well was landing the better shots, but then he chose to stand in front of Berto and well trade, but Berto got the best of it due to speed, but yea he whined like a bitch and held for no reason, and yes the ref sucked ass

[CFH]

Kimmons did an awful job, but it had no real bearing on the outcome of the fight. Berto was always going to beat Quintana because he is a superior fighter.

[Gandalf]

Berto was playing up from the off and the ref seemed to be right in his pocket. Awful job by the ref.

[Fenster]

The old ref was clearly on Berto's side.

Berto complains, Quintana gets told off.
Quintana complains, Quintana gets ignored.

Your right CFH, refs performance was never gonna help change the outcome, Berto had too much for Quintana, no more no less. But, and the BUT definately stands for me, that only one or two of those shots were on the back of the head and Quintana was jumped on by the ref way quick. Then Berto, who held on the inside almost every single time he got in there. I was shocked when he took a point off Quinatana for hitting behind the head, yet only a couple of rounds ealier I found myself shouting at the screen telling Berto to stop holding, he wasn't warned once for excessive holding, its looks horrible when he does it. If he can't fight on the inside atall, he should either work on improving it or use his ability and speed to be in and out and keep a better range. He stinks with all that holding IMO.

He seems to do that ALL the time. Against Urango it was like he took the Hatton blueprint and multiplied it by 3 and did it the entire fight. It's awful to watch. I'm convinced that Berto is a league below the elite in the division. He doesn't show anything new in any of his fights and it's going to show before too long. He's lucky he didn't go through with the Mosley fight.
