I dont know if this has already been posted. I found this on the Las Vegas review journal.
COTTO-MARGARITO OFFICIALS -- Las Vegas' Kenny Bayless has been selected to referee the July 26 WBA welterweight title fight between champion Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito at the MGM Grand Garden. Dave Moretti and Jerry Roth, both from Nevada, and Glen Hamada of Washington will be the judges.
So no Cortez!:banana:
Does anyone know the name of this one ref that I kinda like?
He was the ref for one of the Pac undercard fights. I think it was the Marquez fight. Anyways, while these boxers were going at it one of the boxers had some tape hanging from the glove and the ref just yanked it from the glove while they were still fighting.
I agree, although I thought they might use Weeks because he speaks Spanish.
Cotto undertands English but I also believe that Margarito understands a good amount as well. In an interview I saw, Margarito was asked questions in English and had a translator. However Margarito started answering many of the questions before the translator even started translating.
Bayless is the best ref in the business, Iv always said so ... Very professional and makes me laugh when he counts a guy out, He looks like Arnie in total recall when his eyes were popping out his head.

Remember Bayless refeed the Vazquez vs Johnny Gonzalez fight in which Vazquez was taking a beating early on and was down a couple of times but Bayless allowed him to continue. He also allowed Gonzalez to continue dispite a few KD's of his own aswell. Gonzalez's corner were the ones that stopped the fight.
Thats the type of ref that this fight needs, someone who is slow to pull the trigger since we have seen that Cotto recovers very well and fast from being hurt and Margarito is able to take a lot of punches and Still come on stronger than his opponents in the later rounds i.e. PW's.
