Comments Thread For: Benavidez: If Bayless Woulda Said Something About Clinches, Maybe I Woulda Clipped Plant

[Combat Talk Radio]

Plant: "good fight, we settled it like men, he beat me."

Benavidez: "the ref doe, I wanted a knockout, waah!"

Dave...you got skill, but no class, brother. And you can't train that.

I don't like clinching, but Vlad Klitschko's whole style was based on punching then clinching. Ugly, but technically not illegal. Bayless is a **** ref, tho. He seemed to be on Plant's payroll.

Any time a ref style benefits one of the fighters styles it is always called corruption lol , if Smoger reffed it and allowed David to throw Plant all over the place Plants fans would be saying Smoger was on Benevidez's payroll lol, its neither, just fans need to understand the style of referees are like the styles of fighters, they have their own quirks which why fighters prefer certain refs as it suits their boxing style

We live in a world where paranoia and negative spy ideas are running rampant, its the first thought people have on everything and that's fkd.

Bayless let them fight through all the hugging headbutts elbowing from the 9th all the way to the 12th and that’s a fact,, it is Benavidez fault not the reff if he didn’t have the power or the iQ to finish Plant

Nevermind the timeout in the 8th for no godda.mn reason

He dont need class. He did what he said hed do, beat the s.hit outta plant. And plant talked his sh.it too, throughout the years and during the build up and prefight press conference. He just couldnt back it up..Bayless is wack af callin timeout in the middle of action for no reason.

The reason is the ref is not watching the fight, they kinda black out everything and see only rules, you see them sometimes like they put on the boss suit and its all official, they forget its a fight and are in a totally different mindset than spectators of the fight.

Idk what’s worse. The hugging or the fans who cannot separate a clinch from a hug.

You’ve been around long time from what I read
You know better than I do that most of the time it is corruption
Not only the fact that not once did he warn Plant of the excessive holding , imo , but also the stoppage when Benavidez was getting the better of him , was fishy
Where there’s smoke , there is fire
Unfortunately we really do live in a world hardened by the fact that money talks and bullchit walks
I ain’t a fan of the two , so I got nobody’s back but something looked way off once Caleb was in trouble
I know how Bayless refs and yes certain boxers have chosen him for it , see Money May , but yesterday was a little over the top and makes me believe something was up
Maybe it’s not Al but Bayless himself feels the need to do it to get more work or something to that matter

[MulaKO]

The holding was bad enough but Bayless stopped the action a few times when Benavidez was attacking just because the fighters were close. Respect to Plant but the ref's incompetence rescued him.

That is exactly when I thought the fix was in
What else could you think ?

Bayless should never be the referee whenever a Mexican/ Hispanic is fighting because he will always let the oponent hug, usually Afro-Americans. He let Mayweather do that all the time, thatīs way Floyd was " undefeated".
