Why is Russell Mora Jr. the ref for GGG vs Canelo III?

[War Room]

Isn't there a less tainted referee available to work this fight??

Abner Mares vs Joseph Agbeko
Mora turned in one of the worst refereeing performances you will ever see by failing to call dozens of low blows, warning Mares six times, and calling an absurd knockdown in the 11th round on a blatant low blow.

I really felt like there was a death. I was very conflicted with what had died, but I knew that I had made a horrible call in the 11th round. When I read the headlines on Mares-Agbeko, I felt bad for them (the fighters) because I screwed up their fight. They were both marred after the fight for my mistake. I still don’t think that I’m completely over it yet. That was the worst thing that I have ever done. There’s no reverse, and there’s no instant replay, there’s no taking it back.

I want him to be banned. I don't think he deserves to be in this game because he can kill in the ring. You can't trust him with anyone's life.

Nonito Donaire vs Fernando Montiel
Go watch what happens in round two. Montiel is flattened by a left hook, is clearly out of sorts, and has no business continuing. After his body spasms and he stumbles trying valiantly to make it to his feet, Montiel does make it up at the count of nine. But when Mora asks him to come forward, he does not. He stares at Mora, who then grabs Montiel's gloves and shakes them, then allows the fight to continue. Montiel was not responding to Mora as he should have, but Mora let the fight continue anyway. He then immediately steps in and stops the fight after a couple more shots from Donaire, but he shouldn't have let the fight continue at all. It was a bad call.

Yudel Jhonson vs Richard Gutierrez
A very, very early stoppage from Mora, which we called "terribly early."

Robert Guerrero vs Michael Katsidis
Mora wasn't great in this one, either. He missed what should have been a knockdown of Guerrero in round two (not a hard knockdown, but a knockdown), and what's more, he didn't step in to reset the action after Guerrero's glove touched the canvas. He just let Guerrero bounce back up, pause for a moment, and then start fighting again. That could have been dangerous for Guerrero, who could have gotten clubbed while he was defenseless.

if golovkin is the slightest bit hurt, a slight wobble then fights getting waved off so 'canelo ends the trilogy with a stoppage', when canelo fights theres controversy and bull**** every time, he will have some trick up his sleeve for this one even though with GGGs age he actually has a chance of winning fairly

To protect Canelo
now I gotta reheat Costco churros
OP is my homie and he love Mexican hotties

Because if Golovkin takes "too much" punishment, he'll stop it; if Canelo takes "too much" punishment, he'll give Canelo as much time as he needs. Mora is not the kind of ref for a fight like this.

Can’t believe this was such a short thread. Having Russell Mora Jr as the referee for this fight has me anxious. As someone else said I fear that if GGG gets buzzed for even the briefest moment Mora will definitely jump in and stop the fight. He waved off the Canelo-Kovalev fight before he even looked at Kovslev and that fight was even up to that point.

I totally forgot about it, now I'm anxious.

I just wish that Golovkin KO's the ginger cheat just to see what you'll do.

I was thinking about betting Canelo by knockout because the lines are +175. You may just have convinced me

He refereed the Canelo vs Plant fight, and it seemed he catered to Canelo in that fight, taking his side if there was any issue in the ring. Like when Canelo head butt Plant, coming in reckless, but someone how Plant was told off.
