I remember when Kenny Bayless was the favorite in Pac fights

[-Kev-]

Because when Pac got held, or Pac held a fighter, he would immediately stare blankly into Bayless eyes as if to ask "Help me out here, I don't know how to fight inside". Every one was okay with that, every one loved Bayless. Now he refs a Floyd fight and doesn't allow Maidana to work inside, and Floyd holds to initiate break ups, and every one is all up in arms about it. SMH.

It's the same with the whole common opponents thing, only this is a common ref. And it's the usual suspects too, the exact fans I would expect this hypocrisy from.

Too true. Remember when Kenny Bayless was the best and Fraud better look out if he refs Pac-May?

This place is turning into a dump. People change their opinions I the drop of a dime. Make gifs from one punch like it's a moral victory. Don't care when people bite and tackle just because it's Floyd lol. MMAidana fans and PAC fans are scum of the earth. Hope they don't let china fight in this beautiful country ever again

Bayless ruined the fight for me. The guy was working harder than the fighters. I have no problems with people complaining about that.

What I do have a problem with is that people weren't this vocal about Weeks letting Maidana get away with all the dirty stuff he did in the 1st fight which IMO was the only reason it looked mildly competitive in the first place.

[SplitSecond]

only two times i can think of pacquiao sitting in the inside looking at the ref, vs rios and vs bradley, and bayless wasn't in either of those fights

so which fights were these where pacquiao was facing a big time clincher, or pacquiao was clinching excessively and needed the refs help?

[UTEP]

Kenny Bayless is the best referee on the planet. Last night proved that.

[ReIoaded]

There is very little clinching in Pac fights from either Pacquiao or his opponents.

Doesn't matter who the ref or opponent is. There is simply very little to practically no clinching because they are not Mayweather who reaches out to hug everytime there is danger

[SplitSecond]

and incedently he actually let bradley fight pacquiao on the inside, in maidana-mayweather II he stepped in anytime they got remotely close(we've all seen that break when both guys have their hands free)

[sugarsmosley]

stop crying and just enjoy the victory. you guys cry just as much as the "*******s" you claim cry after every match.


it never ceases to amaze me, with a guy with a perfect boxing record his fanboys sure feel the need to defend him alot for some reason

[SlySlickSmooth]

Bayless only looked bad because there was so many initiated clinches in the fight. Still a top ref, but he didn't need to break when fighters had one hand free.
