he should be fair, he wont let Hatton to what he did to Koysta, but he'll let him do more than Cortez did. He's good at spotting dirty **** so that could be bad for Hatton, but in general he lets the fighters get on with it and wont break them up the second they clinch, he'll let them work their way out of it.
Hopefully anyway!

kenny bayless is the best ref in the game hands down

Much better selection than Joe Cortez, looks like we're going to see a good fight on May 2.

Referee is not the problem.The problem is Hatton.100% Hatton will HIT & HOLD on May 2.There's only one way Hatton knows how to fight and that's to fight dirty using a hit & hold tactic.The fight willbe boring.

Great choice.

Couldn't imagine anyone else.

[The Gunner]

Great choice of ref here.

[Ray*]

One of the best referees out there at the moment if not the best.
