Was the ref sold?

I forgot he let Cotto hit low body slam and gave Cotto a break in the 10th when Mosley was tearing into him. Does he outright work for Cotto or Top Rank?

You guys are dumb. Mercante has done this before several times in fights. Go back and watch the Cotto vs CLottey fight. When Cotto was headbutted you can hear him say "cut the shit!" or something similiar once he realized Cotto was bleeding. He threw a fit when COtto low blowed Judah in their fight as well.

He was probably getting flashbacks to the Cotto-Judah & Clottey fights which he also refereed. In the last one he was simply trying to cover up the slippery corner. It's rather unprofessional though.

He did the same thing for clottey when he got body slammed.

wow Mercante had some serious money on Foreman then? lollllllllll

''Go the other way quick''. lol.

Strange comments indeed. Mercante is a bit odd though, he loves telling fighters to "suck it up" when in fact he should shut the **** up and let the fighter ready themselves.

That convinced me. Mercante had big money on a Foreman win. Anyone know what the odds were for the fight?
