Some of the old refs have favoritism toward some of the fighters that are currently fighting. There should be a changing of the guard with the refs, the same way there are with fighters.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Fighters today are much bigger, stronger and quicker and not only that but referees, judges and doctors back then were very strict and if your head got busted up the fight would be stopped.
Men like a ref decision because they just want to get back to the game.
The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.
The objective of a referee is not to get mentioned. I tell a lot of young referees that not being mentioned is king. If you can achieve that, that then it has been a pretty good game.
The referee is going to be the most important person in the ring tonight besides the fighters.
From my own point of view, I hope everybody would realise that people who work in Scottish football - referees included - are always under terrific scrutiny.
I did think there were one or two referees who had a personal thing against me. It wasn't them versus Celtic - it was them against me! I just think they wanted to take me on.
I think making the referee aware of a situation, there is nothing wrong with that.
We don't need refs, but I guess white guys need something to do.
You don't notice the referee during the game unless he makes a bad call.
