Kenny Bayless delivered the most abysmal performance of the fight.

    During that fight, there was a lot of ass kissing and unpunished clinching.

        Bayliss has been terrible for a while. He was even worse in the Josh Taylor Vs Ramirez fight. Protected Ramirez like crazy. Given him like 20 seconds to recover for each KD. He's always trying to insert himself into the fight with his bloody jazz hands



        Breaking way too early when inside. This is now the norm for him. Get him out of the game.

        He's a bodyguard posing as a ref. Like
        Mother Hen looking after his chicks Time to retire, he's 71 for God's sake. A camera hog to the max. Always needs to be the star of the show whenever. he refs. All his open hand surrendering gesture throughout a fight,looking like someone being threatened.

        "What I say you must Obey"


        When a ref creates a catchphrase that's a clear sign that he's a bit too full of himself. Note to refs, we don't pay to see you ref

        His positioning is also terrible, he almost got KTFO by Benavides on occasions.. Stands too close to the fighters distracting them. He lacked authority throughout.

        It speaks volumes about the NSAC if they still view Bayless as their best referee but then this is the NSAC that said
        Adelaide Byrd was "one of their best judges"

        He's worse than Laurence Cole.

          Kenny Bayless was really on some su****ious ****.

            His style has always been a meddler never been any different, if they hold he jumps right on in and warns the aggressive roughhouse fighter, on the flip side you have refs like Steve Smoger who would hardly ever break them, it's all subjective and the chances of corruption is slim this is why fighters will want refs that suit their style because they know how he is going to handle the fight, we have lots of bad referees and judges in boxing, every time they get it wrong they were paid off is getting a bit old, they were just doing their job poorly.

            I think a great ref should stay away as much as possible, I hate these refs that grandstand to warn somebody about some trivial BS and break the flow to do it, incompetent.

              Kenny Bayless had a bad night refereeing that fight. In addition, he kept interfering. Plus the judges awarded Ramirez all of the close rounds, and the commentators were clearly more excited when Jose landed than when Josh did. Totally biased and corrupt

                Clinching is a part of boxing, there wasn't anything unusual about it. I thought commentators were way more off their game then Kenny Bayless. Benavidez had every opportunity to stop Plant, throwing more than one punch at a time would have helped his cause.

                  This. How often to guys get points taken off for clinching. I don’t ever remember seeing it happen to Andre ward. The commentators blew it way out of proportion cause Caleb was “spoiling” the fight
