Herb Dean's Negligence

giphy.gif
 
Weidmans wobble but they don't fall down.

Good call by Herb.
 
tough job getting everything exactly right every time as a ref
 
Shameful. It's like there's not a ref, it's like Herb is just an interested observer leaning in to watch the beatdown.
 
none of the refs are as bad as people say around here. even for the smartest people split second decisions leave a lot to be desired. theirs just occur in front of millions of people while two dudes are beating each other to submission.
 
Herb is terrible.

He did the exact opposite thing in Barao/Faber.
 
some early stops and some late ones from Herb. he was on point before he got famous with awards and stuff. now when I hear he's going to ref a main event I worry.
 
Herb is the best. Yeves Lavigne has almost let several dudes die and needs to lose his job

Yeah, Herb really isn't as bad as most ppl consider him imho. In the heat of the moment, he chose to let Weidman fight through and Chris threw those baby punches after the elbows. If at any moment, the fight should have been stopped when the hellbows were breaking through because Chris blocked most of the punches right after. He also go right up though was wobbly. Like I said, weebles and shit.
 
Herb Dean is becoming pretty inconsistent these days. Watching old fights and seeing the calls he made then and now is kind of alarming to say the least.

I know and I understand referees have to make judgement calls in seconds and it can't always be right, but that's probably why I ain't" a ref.

Honestly, Herb Dean has been judging a lot of fights like a fan. His presence is just not there anymore. Oh well.

i dont get why people are so upset about that call. rockhold is gassed, those punches are not very hard.

Yeah but if it wasnt for the end of the round how long was Herb going to let it go on for? Wiedman couldnt defend nor move to a more favourable position, so just letting the beating go on because the round was ending soon was negligent.
 
his judgement skills are way off. Not sure why.

Or maybe his body of older work isn't nearly as large as it is now. Now fights, more room for error.
