Comments Thread For: Laurence Cole Gets Nod as Pacquiao-Margarito Referee

[IIG]

Laurence Cole is better than Marlon Wright and that's about it. Bad call.

better joe cortez than this mother****er, the boy is the worst ref out there!

I don't think so. Cortez makes himself a bit to much of a factor in the fight for me. Cole has messed up, but everyone has. We look at slow mo and see everything clearly. Live speed is fast and easy to mess up. Cole is no Bayless but he's not that bad.

LOL...i now officially give MARGARITO a chance.....................

[Mr. Fantastic]

They need to fly Kenny Bayless down to TX. He's my favorite Ref.

not to you but he's crap to me...just like joe crotez is ok to me and bad to you.....also, the tsu vs hatton ref comes in second as the worst, dunno his name tho!

[kenso]

isn't this the guy that ref'd abraham-dirrell? if so, awful, just awful ref. get Jay Nady or Kenny Bayless. actually get ANYONE but this guy.

[Seleção No. 13]

Wasn't he announced for the Clottey fight and was suddenly replaced later?

I won't be surprised if he gets replaced last minute. I don't see Roach or Manny letting him in the ring with them.

I respect that. I just hope this one comes out clean.

This is such bull****. Cole's dad is the head of the commission.

[LeadUppercut]

Neither the Antonio Margarito or Manny Pacquiao camps have expressed any objection to the quick, quiet selection of "Texas' Favorite Son" Laurence Cole as the referee for their Nov. 13 WBC super welterweight title bout at Cowboys Stadium.

Not sure whether to be happy about this or not ?

Cole has been around for awhile, but he has been involved in his share of controversy. I remember he was the one that disqualified Burton.
