Malpractice is a word that immediately leaps to mind when thinking of the jobs that Ian John-Lewis and Herman Caicedo did ? or, more properly, failed to do ? on Saturday in Hamburg, Germany, during the World Boxing Council heavyweight title fight between Vitali Klitschko and Shannon Briggs.
The words incompetence and carelessness also come to mind.
Briggs took a horrific beating from Klitschko in a terribly one-sided fight and wound up in a German hospital with serious injuries. He suffered a broken left orbital bone, a broken nose and a torn left biceps in a bout in which he never came close to winning a round.
