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

[ADP02]

All the adjustment Bayless made according to the interview is to benefit Floyd. Clearly shows bias.

I thought that Kenny was too involved and it was one of his worst performances. I then read Kenny STOP STOP Bayless's interview and then watched the fight again and I was more disgusted with his refereeing than I was initially.

Kenny went into this fight with bias towards Maidana and admitted it. So we were right when we said that! On the otherhand, on Floyd, Kenny never said that going into the fight. That is, Kenny didn't comment in a similar way about Floyd due to his usual infractions from the past such as elbowing, forearm to the neck and face, head lock.

So it was round 9 where Kenny clearly saw Floyd elbowing and even warning him. Then Floyd did it several more times wildely. No deductions for Floyd. About 1 or 2 rounds later, Maidana does something similarly and Floyd knew that Kenny was going to deduct a point for Maidana and Kenny did!!!

There were many instances in the fight where Kenny broke it up to soon. Also, why didn't Floyd getting any warnings for the excessive holding, headlocks, and so on?

Pac Fans should be worried about Burt Clements being a judge. He gave Maidana only THREE rounds in the first Floyd fight. He's going to favor Floyd in every close round.

I commented on this in a previous post. Dave Morretti did the same in fight #1. They both were not giving much credit to Maidana during the first 6 rounds. In other words, if Maidana fought the 2nd half of the fight as aggressive and consistent as the first half of the fight, they BOTH would not have changed their scoring and would still have had Floyd winning by a huge margin!

What was more disgusting is that Dave Morretti was the judge for their 2nd fight.

How Floyd fans forget.

Floyd and his fans were crying after the first Maidana fight.

not a single Floyd fan complained about how tony weeks reffed that Floyd vs Maidana 1 fight.

NOT A SINGLE FLOYD FANS

that is why Floyd fans are perflexed why Pac fans are quite apprehensive about Bayless, since Bayless did not do anything su****ious about Floyd vs Maidana 2

[Rath]

do brainless pac groupies ever stop complaining and making excuses.

i did not see you complaining about tony weeks so you are right.

It will be interesting to see if Bayless lets Mayweather hold in this fight

[Rath]

How Floyd fans forget .......

you could really imagine how they will not complain again if tony weeks was allowed to ref the Floyd vs Maidana 2.

I'm fine with Bayless, he won't impact the fighters. Pacquiao isn't a dirty and inside fighter.

I'm more worried about the judges. Morelli and Clements were the judges for the Maidana-Mayweather 1 fight and there's no way in hell Floyd should've gotten 117-111.

Here is what Bayless had to say about his craft and how he refereed Mayweather vs Maidana II. Interesting read.

Wow.

Bayless: "Floyd told me he didn't like this, and he said he didn't like that, so I ref'ed to help him out ."


lol what a joke. Didn't even do anything about his fighters ELbows and excessive clinching.


FLoyd cries to much, it was a fight, what did you expect hugs and kisses? Maidana isn't short for Ortiz.

Cries about the gloves

cries about the drug tests

cries about no being like ALi.

just cries and cries.....give it a rest already.

yeah he's going to be a little biased in favor of floyd ... mayweather is going to have free reign with the elbows inside ... but it could have been worse they could have called Joe Cortez out of retirement.

two judges that had floyd winning maidana 1: Moretti had it 116 - 112, and Clements scored it 117 - 111.
