Pretty hands-on ref, I guess the significance being...Diaz might not get away with trying to rough up Pac in his first tilt at 135...we'll see

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Goddammit I hate this guy so much.

Then again if it wasn't for a ****** point reduction, Guzman would have been robbed a win against Barrios into a Spilt decision Draw.

vic drakulich or kenny bayless is the right for the job.

Why??? He's a million times better ref than Lawrence "I have money riding on this fight" Cole

Yes


But he wants a fighter all the way to the neutral corner after the mandatory 8 of a knockdown. Even Larry Merchant didn't approve that.

Lawrence Cole should not be allowed to referee anymore. Telling a fighter that he can opt out of a fight on a technical decision because he's ahead on the cards, that should be criminal.

Of course his father runs Texas boxing so I'm not surprised he was let off the hook.

That wasnt his only attempted screwjob. He has a long laundrylist of questionable refereeing. Including grabbing a fighter's arm instead of calling for a break when it was the other fighter who initiated the clinch, strange point deductions without warning 4 illegal blows while the other fighter's same illegal blows seem to go unnoticed and very premature fight stoppages favoring certain fighters in certain fights while other times certain fighters get an extremely long 8count to recover
