Remember when Kenny Bayless was a top 2 ref?

[!! Shawn]

Yeah, but this is what happens to referees: they have a bad night or 2 and are thrown under the bus. It happened with Richard Steele (Chavez-Taylor and Tyson-Ruddock stoppages), that bald headed ref with the gruff voice that only docked Tyson 2 points for biting off Holyfield's ear, Joe Quartez screwed up somewhere along the line, Smoger let someone get beaten for longer than he should have, etc.

There's no doubt Bayless had a shit night tonight, but being a ref is a thankless job: no one remembers when you did a good job, but everyone remembers when you screwed up.

Good refs seem to regularly screw up in favor of mayweather, over and over and over again. Its just something to think about.

When is the last time one screwed up in a way that was detrimental to him? You would think if they were truly just screwups, they would split down the middle in the direction they went ya?

He did? I seem to remember Weeks taking commands directly from Floyd. Every time Floyd looked at him he did whatever Floyd wanted, and broke them quickly as well.

u remember a fight that didnt happen apparently. because even weeks said he lost control of that fight and he should have warned maidana or even taken a point away. that fight was a very dirty fight.

You have some delusions going on in that head of yours... They both fought dirty, Floyd was lacing and elbowing all night, but where the interaction became obvious is when Floyd would look at Week, and then weeks would break them.

Its cool though, its a business. You think any of these refs are in the dark about who keeps them employed?

lol i think u are the one with the weak conspiracy theories. in the last fight, maidana headbutted, slammed, kneed, rabbit punched his way the whole fight. all anyone says about floyd is "oh elbow!" ****s old. sure both of then fought dirty but the fight was dirty and that suited maidana. the ref was horrible. no different from this fight except it suited floyd. i didnt complain about the last fight, in fact most ppl didnt. so i find it funny everyone is up in arms about this one.

He was de****able tonight.

It's obvious he got paid, break, break, break . . .
