Comments Thread For: Gonzalez-Atwell: Laurence Cole Tabbed as Third Man

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Jhonny Gonzalez has home country advantage for his May 24 title defense versus Guyana’s Clive Atwell, but neither fighter will be among countrymen in regards to the selected officials for the bout.

Laurence Cole has been tabbed as third man for the upcoming featherweight title fight, which takes place in the vacation-friendly Acapulco, Mexico. The Texas-based referee is joined by a trio of American ringside judges – Gale Van Hoy (Texas), Herbert Santos (Nevada) and Michael Tate (California).

Well this isn't good. Now Laurence Cole's incompetence isn't confined to just Texas anymore.

So, since Joe 'I'm Bought And Paid For' Cortez retired, the Absolute Worst Ref In Boxing title unanimously has went to Cole... but my question is... if pretty much anyone who knows boxing agrees... WHY does this dolt continue to ref boxing? He is a complete idiot who has skroo-ed up more than anyone in recent memory. AND they've brought in Van Hoy, easily one of the worst judges ever.

Gonzalez better hope he KOs Atwell early, that's all I haveta say. This type of b.s. really piszez me off about the sport.

Cole isn't respected ref, but Sulaiman likes him, he goes 2 Japan often...his old man can't help him as he's outta TX boxing, now a "special advisor" 2 duane ford , of NABF, a WBC branch.....ford has been president since he "retired" outta NV after he blew Pac/Bradley & a few other bout...that really smells...as 4 the 3 judges, Van Hoy & Santos are old as the hills, I hope they can see across the ring...
