Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao: Bayless as Ref, Judges Selected

[basic_bounty]

We should put more emphasis/scrutiny on the judges... moretti, clements and feldman as this fight has a strong chance of going 12 rounds.

What are some of their more notable scorecards?

Yeah, my bad. I was looking at different set of data I have on record.

Moretti scored Manny JMM III 115-113 for Manny. scored Floyd v Maidana 2 117-111.

That depends on the situation. If Bayless has them reset Pac is gonna have to start all over again trying to get in on Mayweather since he has a big reach disadvantage.

It'll disadvantage Floyd only if he decides to take it to the phone booth with Pacquiao.

When does Pacquiao ever stay inside? He gets in, throws a combination and out.

the only judge to judge a mayweather/pacquiao fight is moretti--once. All judges have never worked a pacquiao or mayweather fight with the exception of one fight with moretti which he scored a decision to floyd.

lol wut, all of them have judged both fighters before, but feldman hasnt judged floyd since 1998

Moretti will be working his 4th consecutive Floyd fight.
Feldman did 1 Floyd fight back in 1998...Floyd knocked the guy out in the 3rd round.

The bigger news here is the judges if it's close Moretti probably scores for pacquiao and Clements scores for Mayweather feldman is the wild card he could go any way.

I personally am pretty cool with this. Yes Bayless could be put under some scrutiny for how he refereed the clinching in May-Chino II but he is generally otherwise a good ref. They all have their good and bad points, it just depends who you prefer really.

That being said, if Bayless was to ref May-Pac the same as May-Chino II, being way to lenient on Floyd's behalf, then it wouldn't be as big a deal for Manny as it was Marcos. Marcos relied on that rough and rugged stuff being in his game, Manny does not. Chino benefited from being able to be rugged and raw the first time round with Floyd, the second time he was not allowed as Floyd was 'allowed' to hold a lot, therefore killing that chance Chino had, to a degree.

Like I said, even if Bayless referees this one like he did Chino II, it wont affect Manny's game like it did Marcos'. But still, hopefully there are no points of arguing from the officials influence. I hope Bayless is fair and the judges reasonable. We dont want this fight being tainted by such questions.
