Laurence Cole the worst referee in the business

[tangalog2200]

Laurence Cole's actions this past saturday just reaffirms his standing as the worst referee in the business. Ive had a gripe with this scumbag referee ever since the first Pacquiao vs Barerra fight which took place in san antonio texas.

In that fight which was oscar de la hoya's first fight with his first client marco antonio barerra, cole ruled a obvious slip on pacquiao a knock down. later on in the fight pacquiao punches barerra who goes down but rules it a slip, a couple of rounds later barerra goes down in what looks like a slip but scores it a knock down.

In his next high profile blunder, he was the referee for the juan manuel marquez vs jimrex jaca fight. this was the fight in which he told marquez after being cut that he was ahead on the scorecards, he was suppose to be suspended but he still continues to get high profile jobs whenever fights take place in texas.

Now his most recent **** up job comes this past saturday. i should say **** up jobS because he was horrible in the ishe smith danny jacobs fight but lets just stick to the juan diaz vs baby bull fight.

This guys asks the judges was it a punch that caused the first cut on diaz which was correctly pointed out by harold lederman as something u dont do as a referee. Later on in the fight, a second cut on diaz appeared, & in the end of that round you can hear laurence cole audibly ask "was it a elbow that caused that punch?" Then in the beginning of the round he grabs diaz & makes a accidental headbutt ruling.

Heres a little info about Laurence Cole;

His dad is ****ie Cole Sr. who is a former fight judge & now is some high ranking director in the Texas Boxing Commission.

Talk about conflict of interest.......

[Pain~Lucy]

holy shit! what if he reffed big fights like mayweather vs maidana, pacquiao vs bradley, cotto vs martinez, dang it would be dirty!

[The Problem Child]

Cole is definitely one of the shadiest lol. Joe Cortez was straight up horrible.

I don't like the fruity Benjy Esteves either.

The way HBO publicly crucified him, one has to wonder if he'll ref a headliner again. PR would be a nightmare. Everybody knew he was already a ****ty ref but that was basically a public beheading last night by Lamps & crew

[ManUtd626]

Guy is terrible. Salido with the blatant thigh shots and low blows and Lomachenko constantly cliching. Also, i hated that while Lomachenko would clinch Cole would grab at Lomachenko's arm without yelling break. In one instance I heard him say work while he was grabbing at Lomachenko's arm.
