Greatest Loser: Kerry Hatley

For the first-time ever, we aren’t going to place a fighter on this spot. As a substitute it will referee Kerry Hatley, who officiated the combat between Turner and Inexperienced.

Turner delivered one vicious blow after one other, and the combat might have been stopped approach before it did. As a substitute, Hatley stood over each males and simply watched “The Tarantula” land at the least 12 pointless pictures on Inexperienced till he put him clear out. We get {that a} referee’s job is hard; one minute your the hero for stopping a combat accurately, and the following you’re the heel for stopping too early or too late. However this one was dreadful as a result of Inexperienced was clearly out and took a lot pointless punishment.
