Would you have rather had Kenny Bayless as the Kovalev vs Ward ref?

Kenny gets a lot of hate and especially during Floyd fights since he doesn't allow much "inside fighting." But would those same people rather him be the ref of a Kovalev vs Ward rematch and would've rather had him be ref for the 1st fight? Kenny doesn't allow much dirty stuff and especially inside fighting dirty stuff. I personally like his ref style because I can't stand all the dirty stuff inside and find inside fighters like Ward abysmal to watch.

didn't bayless let floyd clinch the entire fight against maidana? he should have been dq'd for sure in that one. look how much a ref can influence a fight. first floyd-maidana was pretty entertaining and the second was simply unwatchable. get a ref that doesn't allow clinching or as ward fans call it "inside fighting" where you clinch then throw punches like thats somehow better and we will see a better fight and a more dominant kovalev win of course so that will never happen. the cheaters need their refs and judge to get by.

Lets add Dave Moreretti and CJ ross there, they are the best judges in the bidness!

Yes. Bayless would have done a much better job than Byrd.
