Comments Thread For: Roach Admits Concern Over Mayweather-Pacquiao Ref

[ADP02]

Someone that is ready and willing to warn and deduct points.

[HURTFEELINGS]

if youre a ref and you saw maidana vs floyd I with a fighter being told to get dirty, and this fighter is rabbit punching, lifting up his leg to intentionally foul an opponent, doing as much dirty crap as he can and being encouraged to fight like that....Dont you think the ref should probably look for fouls and try to keep them from happening. He even bit Floyd and the tards think it was all good to conduct a boxing match like that. But pac is not an inside fighter at all, and wont be pushing no one to the ropes or being the bully, cause he dont fight like that. Floyd is gonna use this as a showcase as to why he says TBE and the only chance I see for manny is a KO, oh my bad he hasnt ko'd ANYONE in 5 yrs. I've never been so confident of who is gonna win this boxing contest.

In football, he would get fined for what he's doing right now. It's pretty obvious that he's attempting to influence the officials, however; I don't think it will matter as I expect the fight to be clear cut whichever way it swings.

Either man can get ko'd and the fanboys wil still cry about fairness

Ref should probably look for fouls and try to keep them from happening?

So you are saying that if Floyd elbows, forearms, excessive holding, ..... he should get points deducted .....

What about if someone from Floyd's team runs into the ring while Floyd is fighting with his opponent, clear DQ, right?

Wow!!!!

Now Roach is worried about the Referee's

1. Sparring partners
2. Judges
3. Referee's
4. USADA
5. (Insert excuse here)

I think we need a running total to account for all the worries and post-fight excuses.

A thread should be made and just keep a running total.

[WESS]

Is Roach suggesting that Pac will now fight on the inside?

[The Big Dunn]

A thread should be made and just keep a running total.

Reed should sticky it to make it easy to find.

[niceguy45]

ref and judges would not matter, we all know what the outcome will be if it goes to scores cards, pacman's mind set should be to rip his head-off period

[fcastro1]

its not like pacquiao is a rough inside fighter who likes to get cloose, i doubt floyd will be holding pacquiao

Floyd gets away with excessive holding and forarms and elbows to the face. He needs to be punished accordingly in this fight.
