OMG these low profile judges sound like trouble... whoever wants to win better make sure to win by KO.

Well, we're one step closer to bang bang bang bang bang!

Laurence Cole gets every main event in Texas. Ramo is much better ref than him IMO.

When your dad's the head of the Texas boxing commission, it's not that hard to figure out why.

Laurence Cole is a mediocre ref. He shouldn't be rewarded with so many main event gigs.

But I guess it pays to be tied into the good ole boy network in Texas.

[TheGunslinger]

Not Jon Schorle smh.

[McAlister]

Yeah, Cole is a crapola ref IMO. He misses way too many things in the ring.

Best possible outcome is if none of these officials end up being needed in any of the fights.
