iamasadlittleboy Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Re: Six referee's in the running for Mayweather vs Pacman. Who would you choose? Weeks. He's likely to actually let them fight and not protect one fighter in an unfair manner. Bayless did a horrible job in the last Mayweather fight, Byrd is hit and miss (mostly hit though and would be my second choice), Mora and Drakulich are terrible, Nady would be my third choice.

Cableaddict Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Re: Six referee's in the running for Mayweather vs Pacman. Who would you choose? I think they should bring back Mills Lane. After all, this is a battle between two formerly great fighters, waaaay past their primes at this point. Plus, you know, Mills never took no shit from ANYBODY.

The names that are in the running for the May 2nd Super-fight are: Kenny Bayless, Robert Byrd, Vic Drakulich, Russell Mora, Jay Nady and Tony Weeks. Who would you choose and Why? --- But we won't chose, Floydy's minders at the Vegas commish will and Vic Drakulich, Russell Mora, Jay Nady are non starters for a Floydy fight. Weeks is out as he'd didn't pull Maidana off Floydy in the first fight like Floydy expects his refs to do and made Floydy fight Cotto. Bayless is the best at protecting Floydy, utterly shameless like Joe Cortez became, but MGM FLoydy likes to skip him out between fights, so I'd guess Byrd is it as Floydy has had him in training for some time in preparation for this. Byrd allowed Floydy to butt Guerrero and run about the ring with impunity and the counter upperbutt is Floydy's best offensive weapon these days.

The names that are in the running for the May 2nd Super-fight are: Kenny Bayless, Robert Byrd, Vic Drakulich, Russell Mora, Jay Nady and Tony Weeks. Who would you choose and Why? I color-coded your post in terms of personal preference: Green: Preferred choice(s) Yellow: Yeah, there are plenty of worse choices. This referee has succeeded at some level but had bad nights in his career. Orange: These referee(s) endanger the integrity of the fight. It would be disappointing to see them get the gig, but there are some worse and some better options. Red: Oh, no. The fight has been ruined!

Watch him ref a fight, a few weeks back, and he seemed to take sides. --- Unfortunately most refs take sides and Bayless one of the worst in that regard. He's also blown key calls against Manny when he failed to call the 2nd KD of the 2nd Marquez fight. Had he done the proper assessment, clearly Marquez was in no condition to continue when he walked over to sit on Manny's stool and Bayless had to turn him around to guide him in the right direction. He also had Mosley knocking Manny down when everyone with functioning eyes agreed it was a clear slip. His last bout favoring Floyd was so nauseating that Bayless looked clueless trying to regain control of the fight when Floyd quit the 8th round to go cry to his daddy in his corner about his little pinky. Old gods are terrible to look at when they weep, like bloated, spoiled fish...stink to the high heavens too...biggest fight evah...:smiley-signs123: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_budweiser Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Re: Six referee's in the running for Mayweather vs Pacman. Who would you choose? I thought the referee did well. He didn't have much to do. Only thing I would of liked to of seen him do was give Floyd a stern warning in the first half of the fight for persistent fouling but Mayweather cleaned himself up. No real complaint's, ref did well overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ton Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Re: Six referee's in the running for Mayweather vs Pacman. Who would you choose? He was quick to separate them which was quite good as it didn't allow Floyd to lean on Manny and sap his energy. However, given the way the fight went, if the ref wasn't so quick to jump in and they punched their way out of a clinch it could have made an opening for Manny to exploit. Maybe not and it would have been a clinchfest which is certainly not good. So overall ref did a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skav Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Re: Six referee's in the running for Mayweather vs Pacman. Who would you choose? What was quite rare for Floyd is that he was warned for use of the elbow. Bayless generally did a great job but there were no real complaints about both fighters conduct.

Floydy builds up those early rounds and then coasts to a late decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
