Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Feels Bayless as Ref Favors Mayweather

[noStylez]

I don't see how Bayless is bad ref for this fight, both don't really fight on the inside, if anything this fight will be a clean fight, the only thing Pac would need to worry about is protecting himself when Bayless breaks.

No surprise here.

De La Hoya is obviously just hating because Kenny Bayless is middle aged, black and by rich (by referee standards)

Manny can't inside fight anyway, he literally has one of the poorest inside games I have ever seen in a P4P. Now that's not to say it's bad, because what he does works for him great.

He throws combinations at a distance before you can get off.

Basically I don't see this being a factor in the fight at all.

Another thing is Kenny has refereed more Pacquiao fights 7 in total.

People bring this up all the time as if it means anything

Pac fans' excuse # 1,023:

"Manny lost 'cause Kenny got paid extra like the judges and wouldn't let Manny fight dirty. "

.

Haha my first response was Floyd hater (Oscar) creating another excuse that the shat scared Manny fans are searching for like grave diggers , you got Arum saying if it were up to him he would pick Bayless and was quoted as saying Kenny is the best in the world .

Manny fans are terrified lol .

Mayweather left GBP and Haymon took most of GBP's fighters. Not hard to see why DLH might have some bias.

It means they've never had a problem with Bayless reffing before. If you can find anything with Pacquiao having an objection to Bayless for any of his other fights i'll happily take a look.

Floyds whole career and unbeaten record is all smoke and mirrors, based on favouritism and judges and refs on his side. Floyd is good, but the favouritism has given him the edge.

Can he have at least one fight in his career where the ref dislikes him? Would he risk that?
Bayless better let Pac punch Floyd and not mess this fight up. Its too important and people have waited far too long and spent too much money on it for the ref to think he can play God.

Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya believes that the appointment of referee Kenny Bayless as the third man in the ring in the mega-buck showdown against Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 2, favors Mayweather.

Veteran Bayless has refereed five of Mayweather's previous fights and De La Hoya believes, as we have said before, that the tendency of Bayless to step in and halt the action and break up fighters will stop Pacquiao from building any momentum against the American

Of course..thats the point of choosing Bayless. The ref usually favors Mayweather. So I expected Bayless.

Bayless didnt allow Maidana to fight inside, didnt warn about holding, he jumped in to break even at times when there was no inside work...he watched closely and saw it was heading inside so he jumped in. Those are all facts. Look at Bayless in the Guererro vs Thurman fight..why did he allow inside fighting there?
