You're on drugs. Kenny Bayless is a world class referee. He never makes mistakes and is completely fair.

i think bayless did an excellent job.

Khan got away with headbutts, he kept warning Garcia for lowblows though most wasn't low at all, a few was borderline but he really read the riot act over it. One was legit as hell AND it hurt Khan though he complained/looked to the ref and the ref b0ll0cked Garcia.

He did however warn Khan for pushing so props there.

But after that first knockdown, are you kidding me? He bought him at least an extra 5-8 seconds & gave him every chance going.

He did it with the second to after he touched down.

When Khan was holding he almost purposely allowed Khan to hit Garcia with an uppercut twice.

What a horribly bias ref!

On a side note, Khan pulled that ****** face again when hurt and he was mocking Judah for his chicken dance hahaha, admit it whatever the fcuk he did at the end of that round did make you smile/laugh. Anybody got a vid/GIF of that?

Just posted this in the other thread and I don't feel like rewording it, but yeah... :

Was it just me or did it seem like Bayless was helping Khan by spending alot of time asking Khan if he was ok, wiping his gloves etc after finishing his count?
Especially after alot of recent stoppages (not necessarily Bayless in particular, but in general) that seemed a little quick to me.

All of a sudden Bayless is Steve Smoger?

He was so against Garcia it was ridiculous.
Every moment he got he was trying his best to buy Khan precious seconds.
Glad it went on but I'd of not griped if he had stopped that after the first knockdown.

No, I thought Bayless did a good job. He warned Khan for pushing off early and Garcia was hitting him with some low blows.
I could see him stopping the fight after the first knockdown but he chose to let the champion try and get past it and Khan almost did, landing some shots of his own early in the fourth round. Bayless did what a good ref is supposed to do, enforce the rules but let the fighters decide the outcome.

Bayless is usually a good ref but he gave Khan too many chances, a lesser known fighter would have been stopped earlier.

Skip was really helping Khan out spending too much time asking him to come forward and asking him " are you ok." I was really surprised he kept the fight going after the first knockdown...

He wasn't ****, but this wasn't a good night for Bayless at all. He looked like he was on Khan's payroll, and he was afraid to pull the plug on the fight. He's still one of the best around, everybody has off nights.

Couple of weeks ago on FNF Atlas chastised Joe Cortez for being one of those refs that likes the limelight and tries to make themselves a factor in the fight.

Bayless seems to be one of these as well.
