Hagler who? What the heck does this cab driver know about boxing? Get lost old man
You're an idiot. And you're worse than a cab driver, you're just a straight up bum acting like you know ****, when youre ****in CLUELESS.
stay busy fight, and dont forget its the promotoers job to get the maximum amount a fighter is worth during his career, which means fighting some cans for a easy check in between hard bouts (if managed correctly). David L. has star power in his home, so this is a stay busy, pay check fight.
Cole owns a Dallas insurance agency and, among his clients who obtain insurance for their respective boxing, MMA and kickboxing events, is the Mexico City based WBC.
Sulaiman makes no effort to hide the business relationship as seen in this blurb from the Cole agency's website:
"The World Boxing Council was the first boxing organization to introduce life and medical insurance for boxing. For 11 years Laurence Cole Insurance Agency has provided our life and medical coverage for all WBC World Title Fights as well as Affiliate Championships all over the world. The quality of their service has been outstanding, and without doubt we will recommend this company to anyone looking for an efficient and easy to work with insurance provider."
Some have labeled Cole's insuring events in which he participates creates a conflict of interest.
In this video, Laurence Cole, rules a Knockdown on Dirrell as a *SLIP* because he was in the southpaw stance. Horrible call. Clearly a Knockdown.

OK so here are some of the muggings...I mean "fights" Laurence Cole has been a part of
1. JMM vs Jaca - He tells JMM he's up on the cards if he doesn't feel like he wants to continue
2. Malinaggi-Diaz 1 - Cole said the cut to Diaz was 1st caused by a punch and then widened by a clash of heads and I believe if I'm not mistaken he ruled it a clash of heads but Hell it's Texas and Juan ****ing Diaz it may as well have been caused by the Tooth Fairy
3. Juarez-John
4. Pacquiao-MAB 1 - Cole rules a legit knockdown of MAB as a slip
5. Abraham-Dirrell - He missed 2 knockdowns 1 for AA 1 for Dirrell (when AA got knocked into the ropes which held him up) and when AA had Dirrell on the ropes for no reason Cole broke them up and moved the fight back to the center of the ring
6. Camacho Jr.-Yuri Boy Campas - Larry did NOT DQ Hector Jr. in just a God awful display of fighting
No, he is the ref for pac margs..The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has named Laurence Cole the referee for Saturday's Manny Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito bout at Cowboys Stadium.
Cole is the son of veteran Texas boxing commissioner Dickie Cole.
Rigo isnt that kind of fighter. He is content to just control his oppoenents. I admit this is one of his weaknesses and why he can be out worked. But he will knock you out if he knows he can.
Hagler fought in an era with less weight classes. The next one up was 15lbs north, at i believe 175. Hagler would be too small to compete in this division imo.
Hagler stayed in the same weight class his whole life, because he found the weight he was best at, and it was natural for him. He boxed at 165 in the amateurs, fighting against naturally bigger men. He stayed in shape his whole career, (not balooning up to 200lbs like a jr welter weight ricky hatton inbetween bouts). So at his natural weight he was able to dominate.
Fighters switch weights too much these days when they should find their best fighting weight, and should stay there. Unless they have a legitimate reason to move up, like getting beat by the best in the division and seeking new opportunities elsewhere. (ex. adamek vs dawson).
And Kitang... Berto is also another hypejob. I thought he lost to Collazo. Victor went life and death with him.
Someone on Collazo's skill level isnt gonna beat floyd.
Guys gets robbed everytime, he beat Cintron no doubt, KO'd him so bad cintron thought he got headbutted.
and i had him winning 1 point over williams, or a draw.
Are you retarded? Cintron sat until over 10 seconds, and he was complaining it was a headbutt. Even though it wasent a head butt, you sit down after count of 9, its over, period.
It was his bitching that got the ref to continue the bout even though it was over.
Martinez could have taken that to court and got it changed to a NC, i dont know why he didnt.
