Terry O’Connor Update

The British Boxing Board of Control has announced that boxing judge Terry O’Connor must appear before the stewards to address allegations that he used a smartphone while scoring the Lewis Ritson vs. Miguel Vazquez fight at the East of England Showground Arena last Saturday. After the bout, an image was circulated on social media showing O’Connor distracted by something in his hand that resembled a phone in the middle of round eight. Adding fuel to the fire, O’Connor turned in an appalling 117-111 card in favor of house fighter Ritson in a fight where Vazquez appeared to be a runaway winner.

  • Stop messing around and ditch these incapable and/or corrupt judges immediately. And start with July Lederman. The fighters(and fans) deserve better..

    • Judges need to be independent from promoters who often instruct the judges who to score for. Hard to beat the house fighter without a KO.

  • This is not the first time Oconnor has cheated a visiting fighter. He should have been banned long ago.

  • What about Julie Lederman turning in a scandalous 119-110 card? That was feels filled out before the fight.

  • Boxing needs to send a strong message to judges who have been unaccountable for decades. O’Connor should be banned for life and judges need to front-up and explain their scorecards so that we can better understand their thinking on fights. Wrapping them in cotton-wool helps nobody.

  • Wasn’t Julie Lederman one of the ones who had Paul Williams winning over Erislandy Lara?
