View Full Version : Why is Parris still a ref?
The signs have been there for years but Parris still gets to referee a fight.
Last night was the tip of it for me. I knew the guy was bad but when you are a big fan of a fighter and that shit happens you see things a bit clearer.
He hates Danny Williams which is another thing i didn't like him for.
Any other contributions of his referee fuck ups are welcome i'm sure there are plenty :good

Khan V Barerra. He made sure the fight went long enough to be ruled a no contest despite the fact that Barerra had a huge gash to the forehead.
He is dire and should NEVER be allowed to oversee another fight, in fact if I were Martin Rogan I would make an official complaint to the British Boxing Board of Control. That fight was a joke from start to finish.

I have no idea. It can only because he's allegedly in a certain promoters pocket.

I agree with the MAB v Khan fight... wasn't there going to be a challenge about that decision after another fight ended in a similar fashion and then the decision was over turned??? MAB only really caught Khan once but it shook him up....I would love to see this fight again... What respect that MAB had from the British fight fans......:bbb:bbb

What respect that MAB had from the British fight fans......:bbb:bbbAs far as I'm concerned that fight was a no contest. Making a legend like Barrera fight with a ridiculous cut like that until the fifth round just so Khan could 'win' was such a terrible thing to do. What's worse was Khan's reaction afterwards - it looked like he'd won the lottery. In reality he'd been fighting a well past his prime fighter from the lower weight classes who couldn't see out of one eye. I think he was just happy he wasn't KOed again to be honest.

I hate Dave Parris with a passion BUT the way he conducted himself during the Barrera/Khan scrap was ok. During the inter round period the doctor is in attendance and at any time he could have stopped the fight...he obviously thought the injury was OK and the fight was OK to continue. Alternatively Barrera could have complained to the doc that he couldn't see and it would have been over, no contest...he didn't (please don't give me the Barrera is a warrior and wouldn't want to quit bullshit because if that was the case he wouldn't have been squeeling like the bitch he is post fight.). I'm still at a loss to understand where the complaints come from as regards Fridays fight...Rogans eye was completely closed and he was right to be stopped...whats the problem??

The fight should have been stopped for the eye but before that it should have been stopped once sexton turned his back (at least a point off) instead he gives rogan a lecture on hitting behind the head.
Then Sexton spits the gum shield out (another point off at least). Rogan waits for it to be put back in doesn't happen (rogans fault really). He gave Rogan more time than he should have with the eye it was completely gone although i won't argue with that :yep

Parris is fuckin fat corrupt cunt. He made a complete bollocks of the Rogan-Sexton fight. The Khan-Barrera fight was also a joke, the guy couldnt see, and wasnt it for a head clash, anyway. Barrera could very well have got Khan had his eye not got so fucked up. A very hollow victory for Khan who will get found out again in his title tilt. Hyped up shite.
Parris has been a complete and utter wanker in every fight I've seen him.
This stretches from the days he was routinely affording Hatton great leniancy, even being seen to "wink" and "signal" when to break up clinches.
The Khan effort where he conveniently managed to let the fight go just long enough for Khan to "win" a TD, even though the cut never got worse throughout the bout and was an obvious stoppage from the moment it opened.
In the Williams-McDermott fight he was on Williams ass about nothing. I get the feeling he loves being the centre of attention.
He continued the same form in Rogan-Sexton warning Rogan for fuck all. Telling him not to punch a guy in the back of the head when the guy other turns around, giving him crucial time to recover.
We can see you anyway Dave ya fat cunt, stop making ridiculous decisions and if you are going to be picky at least apply it consistently :-(
Despicable ref.

I'll take that bet. Even ****** isn't that hard faced.
Wouldn't be at all surprisd. ****** seems to have him well under thumb from the Hatton days. Personally if I worked at the BBBoC I would have a raid team outside his house as we speak ready to seize all documents. I am certain there is a wire transfer to a Swiss bank account.

Internet myth.
Perhaps I mistaked it for blinking. It's his fault if he's going to blink for so long.

I was always indifferent about Dave Parris, until this thread reminded me what he's like. He always seems to have it in for one of the fighters, usually for no real reason.
Or is it one of the other British refs I'm thinking of? There's about three of them that all look a bit similar, and I get them mixed up.
Being stoned isn't helping.

Parris in a nut shell. Sometimes he would do a decent job but that rarely happens anymore.
Richie Davies is his twin.
Howard Foster took a disliking to Burns in the Gomez fight. Do the Brit ref's flip a coin to see who they favor before a fight?

Hatton vs Tszyu - Parris should have been struck off the list of pro-boxing refs for that farce.

Belgian refs always seem a bit dodgy...

Generally pissed :dealThat never occurred to me. I've seen refs (Dave Parris mainly, I'm sure!) sniff round the ring girls between rounds at the York Hall. Quite funny to watch.

Agree. Why was Richie Davies constantly on Darren Corbetts case in his fight last night with Ovil McKenzie. The fuckin busy-body kept pulling Corbett and then giving him lectures. Annoying biased cunt.

indeed.
Parris is a fat, useless, currupt cunt and should've been gone ages ago.
More recently the Kahn-Barrera and Rogan farces reinforce this point.

refereeing is obviously at this time a big concern over fans.
Over the next few weeks im going to write an article on it. I am getting an interview with Richie Davies and will try and get inteviews with other top referees, including Parris.
i think british refereeing is top quality
