How do referees prepare for fights? How do they know when to stop a fight and when to let it play out? What are judges looking for when they score a bout? What do inspectors do? What do officials wish fans and media understood better?
Referees, judges, and inspectors aree vital elements in making boxing fair and safe, but their work is frequently little understood or maligned. Kenny Bayless and Robert Hoyle have been inspectors, judges, and referees in Nevada and in this episode they share their knowledge and thoughts and share stories from inside the ropes: from battling Mike Tyson after he bit Evander Holyfield's ear to being booed after stopping a fight only for the defeated boxer to pass away several days later. It's an absorbing episode you won't want to miss.
