Dave Parris ? ? ?

Should Dave Parris (referee/judge) be allowed ref or judge a fight involving an Irish vs British boxer??

1. Terrible referee for the Rogan vs Sexton fight
2. Terrible judge for the Burns vs O` Hara fight

I think he is a tad bit prejudice against irish boxers, well he is basically handing them the fight even before the first bell,

Just my opinion though.

Whats new? They've been at it for years. Nothing new here at all.

The judging and reffing in British Boxing Board of Control sanctioned fights has been pritty poor in the past few months and in some way Dave Parris has been involved with that fight. Here's some examples;

Rogan / Sexton - ref
Watson / O Donnell - judge
Barker / Mc Dermott - ref
Khan / Barrera - ref
Burns / O Hara - judge

Even tough he has been very poor, I still think Emile Tiedt is the worst ref in Ireland and the UK because he rarely gives a decision to the away fighter.

Usman Ahmed 40-39 Luke Wilton, and imo Luke Wilton won 39-37(and I considered giving him a 10-8 in the first it was so decisive), so you may have to revaluate that.

Upon checking he also recently gave Ibrar Riyaz a decision over Gavin Prunty on the Salthill card, and was responsible for giving Michael Kelly a draw on the show at the O2 against Valentins Morozovs when from what I've heard he should have won.
He also gave Peter Allen the decision over Willie Valentine in Ireland a good few years back.

I think generally him not giving away fighter the decision has more to do with Irish match making than anything else.
