I can agree with this, but Maz deserves every bit of criticism he gets considering he is a terrible referee and everyone knows it dude.
When a ref tells 2 fighters to STOP STOP! Then he's supposed to stop the fight, not let one guy take the other guy down and basically just go "NEVERMIND, FIGHT!". It's like a referee in football blowing the whistle before the ball is thrown, then once it;s thrown and a receiver takes it to the house for 80 yards, he lets the TD go through.
He's just a bad ref man. I agree people get on Herb too much, especially since the Shamrock/Ortiz II incident which was a justifiable stoppage, but Mazzagetti is just terrible.
