Watching the Watchers: Keeping tabs on Officials

Post by gilgamesh »

I figure this thread was needed for us as fans to keep up with all the controversial stuff that goes on this sport. Nominate any questionable Referee or Judging performance that you can think of in this thread.

With all the questionable decisions and officiating we see in this sport this thread could obviously have a long shelf life, I personally think it should probably be stickied to the top of the page because you all know as well as I that the controversies just keep on coming in this sport.

Note: When you nominate an official. Be sure to point out what controversial decision or score they made that it is you're criticizing.


This thread can serve as TTR's questionable officiating database.

Updated after 7 Pages

Full List


Referees
Laurence Cole (2)
Joe Cortez (2)
Jay Nady (2)
Larry Doggett
Vic Drakulich

CJ Ross (2)
Glenn Feldman
Dave Moretti (3)
Ric Bays
Richard Green
Valerie Dorsett
Duane Ford
Jack Woodruff
Mickey Vann (The only official to be nominated to the Watch List as both a bad judge and a bad referee)
Franz Marti
Eugenia Williams
Larry O'Connell
Bob Logist
Glen Hamada
Keith MacDonald
Chuck Giampa
Michael Pernick
Peter Trematerra
John Wright

So thus far Robert Hoyle sits atop the shit list with more examples of his incompetence or corruption being given than of any other official.
Mickey Vann has the dubious honor of being the only official who has stunk it up as both a Referee and a Judge.

Will be interesting to see how many times certain people are mentioned.
The fighters he's beaten aren't even household names in their own household.

Yep. each mention is a mark against them and the quality (or lack thereof) of their work

I generally would want to point out times when the official got it completely wrong, even scoring for the wrong winner, but a case like this needs to be pointed out as well as it certainly suggests incompetence.

Dave Moretti: 114-113 Pacquiao (Pacquiao vs Jessie Vargas)

Nobody who saw that fight thinks it was anywhere near that close. Most of us had Pac winning 9 rounds minimum.

Hoyle also had McDonnell beating Solis 9-3, Bey beating Vasquez 11-1, and Barthelemy beating Shafikov 11-1.

All WTF!? scores

I don't think Harrold Ledderman hardly ever get's a fight right. How does he keep his job?

He gets 'em right sometimes. I'm thinking more of official judges though. The guys who's scorecards actually count, and actually have negative consequences on the fighters.

I was mostly going to use this thread to keep up with any controversies going forward, but any examples of currently active judges giving controversial scores from the not too distant past are more than welcome for inclusion.

Larry "Dog-Shit" Doggett, referee of John Riel Casimero vs Amnat Ruenroeng I. He allowed Ruenroeng to foul at will.

Vic Drakulich is one of the most consistently awful referees I've ever seen. Gets involved as often as he possibly can often for no reason.
