He’s not wrong. That was dangerous and sloppy

lol - That Teddy, probably watching his first Dan fight, comes to the same conclusion many of us have to come to over the years, in the space of 60 seconds.
I don’t dislike Dan, but he has made a lot of errors over the years. Both ways too. Sometimes stops things early, sometimes late. Remember Kimbo -James Thompson.
He has also done what Herb did a few weeks ago. Go to stop the action, touch them, hesitate, and tell them to keep fighting.
Good spot, Teddy.

Fighters usually tell the ref before fights while their conscious of the likelihood they may not win under no circumstances stop the fight .Frank had a golden opportunity and mirgliotta let him die a warriors death great job reffing Dan …let the fighters decide their own fate…

The worst thing Dan has done so far was the MVP fight. He inserts his personal bias/opinion.
But then, there are not many smart people who want to do that shit job. Herzog is the best imo, Beltrans good too

Watching Live it was a pretty scary and obvious bad stoppage. Dan should’ve either given Mir a 10 count or stopped the fight but instead he sat in the background like Shang Tsung watching a Fatality in Mortal Kombat.

Lucky for Frank that guy had a soul …
It’s almost as if you don’t understand the point of a referee to begin with.
A fighters job is to fight until they can’t; a referee’s job is to protect fighters from themselves.

In Dan’s defense there was something about Mir just standing there like that. It really made me want to see the finishing move. I mean when do you ever have a guy just in front of you like that where you can just blast him full force lol

Dan looked like he wanted to give Mir a chance instead of deciding what to do based on objectivity.

Teddy made the point I made before the fight, it should have NEVER been sanctioned in the first place. The org and the Texas commission suck.

Yes, that Kimbo restart was a disgrace. I loved Kimbo but did not want him to win with help from the ref.

If that was a HW killer who pounces on you like Tyson or Wilder, Frank could well have died in that fight
Disgraceful from Dan, I agree he should lost his license, he’s lost any and all respect as a Ref
All of the above is if the whole fight was legit of course, which is up in the air in these two bit promotions
