I didn't make any rating didn't I. Well...no ass kissing Mike, but honest opinion. Terry Hill is stil the best referee in the country.

When I mentioned earlier about Terry's discrestion; When Doug Viney fought Dion Crouch in 2001. Dion got Doug with a beautiful spinning backfist toward the end of the round. Terry gave him a count than let the fight carry on. It was only about 15 seconds left. Doug survived. Later in the fight, Doug got Dion with a single Sthpaw straight right, follow with a glancing eft hook that didn't land properly. When Dion got up, Terry took one look at him than called the fight off. A lot of people in the crowd weren't happy. I also talked to some people at the after match function and they told me how Terry's stopped the figfht too early. Well...a lot of these people didn't realised that Dion had to be rushed to hospital that night as he wasn't feeling right (from a single punch). Now, imagine if Terry let two more of the same kind of punches landed on Dion while he was on that state?

Sure there are things that Terry doesn't do which I think he should while reffing, but at situation like that, I'm very glad it was Terry (so should Dixon and Dion's family) who reffed that fight. These are things you can't teach any young referees. It a gift that it doesn't come with expereince alone. I really hope he and Dixon can work something out for the future K-1.
