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

[daggum]

Manny style is not to fight close range work the body rough tactics like maidana so idk what's the complaining about he can't bully Floyd on the inside and jumps in and out fast breaking clinching benefits manny because now he already in range to land his punches and get out if Floyd wants to try and hug to death you guys need to stop with excuses and think for a moment

how would floyd clinching help manny? get real. clinching helps floyd because it stops manny from throwing punches. the same way it helped floyd in the second maidana fight.

Bayliss traditionally has made life difficult for Floyd,
Forever biased to Manny also. This is not good.

This has got to be reversed psychology. Team Pacquiao is full of **** when they said they wanted bayless. Thats BS, they are saying that crap after the fact. They most likely wanted Weeks because of the way he reffed Mayweather vs Maidana 1.


The Judge selection is very favorable for Mayweather, and thank God.

[johnm is...]

so you aren't going to discuss how bayless did a bad job in the maidana fight? he clearly helped floyd by allowing him to hold nonstop. just look at the difference in the first maidana fight as opposed to the second. you like floyd so much that you even defend when refs do a bad job?

Refs sometimes do a bad job. You fools will swear on your mothers that Mayweather paid the guy to do it. Absolutely any excuse in the world. It's pathetic.

HOF ref and one of the top 2 best today. No im not going to complain.

Oh and he has reffed more Pac bouts than Floyd bouts just FYI

i saw floyd-maidana 2 and it was a damn farce. floyd was never punished or even warned for clinching non stop. based on that evidence i think he's a terrible pick. you seem to throw out that evidence for some reason. why?

Seriously you guys are idiots. Bayless' tendency to constantly break up a clinch would actually be beneficial to PACQUIAO moreso than Floyd. Manny doesn't clinch or use rough housing tactics the way Maidana does. Tony Weeks let Maidana do whatever he wanted and Maidana still couldn't beat Floyd so stop jumping on Bayless.

Floyd was the one initiating the clinches in his last fight, so Bayless breaking them up forced Floyd to have to fight Maidana while moving. If Floyd cinches and ties up Manny, Bayless will break them up allowing Manny to get back into his rhythm.

Bayliss made life hard for Floyd in the second Maidana fight,
this is bad news for Mayweather. I bet Arum put this together as usual, cheating ****.

[BostonGuy]

Y'all are pathetic.

"But...we didn't like the way he ref'd the Maidana fight. He called Pacquiao for a knockdown. Floyd made the commission pick him"

Bunch of goddamn babies.

No, we just don't want to see a referee spoil what could be a great fight. 'In-fighting' is just as much a part of boxing than is fighting on the outside - for a ref to out-and-out prohibit it, kind of spoils things. Bayless and Luis Pabon both have reffed fights where virtually no in-fighting is allowed.

His performance in that fight is why he was chosen for this fight.

Exactly, and Pac has to go along if he wants the fight to happen

[Wreckless]

I can see Bayless yelling "break" already even before Mayweather thinks of holding Pacquiao.

[Fetta]

Choice of ref, judges, arena, city, promoter, gloves, or whatever isnt the issue. the issue is Pac fans know who the superior fighter is. The excuses are just to calm the fears. They are just searching for something....hope maybe

You are trying to reason with very ****** people.
