Lawrence Cole

6 warnings, 100 + repeated infractions of the same two violations he was warned = 0 points taken away. Just because his daddy runs the Texas State Athletic Commission. Worst ref working today. To be fair, he assert himself and give Broner a very stern final warning with 90 seconds left in the fight.

This wasn't even in his top 20 ****ty performances. Once he disqualified Emanuel Augustus for spinning off the ropes. He is the worst, most corrupt ref working major fights today. He should be in jail.

Only in the job because of who his father is. Looked out of his depth last night.

Cole is and has been one of the worst I the business. I groan every time I see his face on television.

one of the best ref in boxing he lets you fight!. if you want to coward out then yea find another ref, but if you plan to go to war and win it cole is who you want because he lets you fight! wladimir fighting with this ref in the ring would be unstoppable GOAT with 50 straight defenses

He warned Broner a million times,yet never took a point away.What's the point of so many warnings with no consequence?

The main issue I have with Cole is he simply lost control in this fight. He almost looks like just another spectator at times. All kinds of antics went down ... forearms, pushing, holding, low blows, headbutts, intentional headbutts, punching after the bell, punching after the "STOP" command ... not to mention the double A$$ ****ing motions both fighters got away with. Any ref worth a salt would have paused the fight immediately after Broner's hip movements and told them both to knock that **** off or a point would be taken. Period. Paulie has always hated the Texas commission, especially after his Juan Diaz fight, and he wasn't holding back on Cole. I'm glad Paulie called him out on live tv because Cole might be the worst ref in the game today. Who cares who his daddy is? Spot on bro. The 5 or 6 warnings of excessive use of elbows was really upsetting. But yet he decided to believe Broner's bull**** antics to get the fight DQ.

i dont really feel the same way compared to the bogus UK refs this guy is world class. UK ref would have stopped it the one time Madiana got pushed into the ropes and his back turned.

His dad is the head of commission in Texas, he gets all the big fights in tx.

This God-awful biased performance from Cole should not be forgotten. It was even worse than Tony Weeks low-blow performance in Garcia v Matthysse.
