Comments Thread For: Wilder-Fury Rematch: Nevada Commission Assigns Judges, Referee

... are you afraid that he would pull a "David Fields"?...

I just know there are some who are against him (especially post Mayweather Maidana). I don't know if there issues with him will be as prevalent in this fight, as I don't know how much hugging will take place though.

Kenny!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?? Kenny FIGHT LESS!!

Famous for breaking them up and calling off fights early.

Team Wilder must have gotten that Jack Reiss complaint in early, loud, and very clear.

I swear I coulda put money on it that they'd pick Bayless as the ref for this fight.

Fury better hope and pray he doesn't hit the canvas. Bayless won't even give a count, & if he does give one, he won't give Fury the chance to fight on he'll look at him & waive it off

ya beat me to it!

Bayless gets way too involved in fights. Doesn't let guys work on the inside, always telling guys to "bring em up" even when there's no foul, & has a reputation for stopping fights too soon or maybe a better way of putting it, he doesn't always give guys the chance to beat a count. I'm all for fighter safety, I just feel like he gets overly eager to do something all the time.

He overcompensated in the Maidana Floyd rematch & admitted that he was slightly influenced by what he saw in the first fight. My fear is that given Wilders undeniable power, he'll be overly eager to "save " Fury if he appears to be hurt or goes down at any moment in the fight.

No doubt in my mind that if he was reffing the first fight he wouldve waived it as soon as Fury hit the canvas the 2nd time. Hopefully team Fury is smart enough to at least talk to Kenny in the dressing room. Same goes for Team Wilder, if by some miracle Fury drops or hurts him bad I'd hate for Kenny to jump in and ruin a huge fight like this.

But my guess is, they won't mind the controversy, as they'll use it as a tool to help sell the the trilogy they've already promised.

Kenny Fightless is a fussy referee who thinks he is adding to the fight with all his theatrics and BS when he's actually detracting from it - plus with his track record he's in the back pocket of Vegas biz.

I like Bayless, he's fine.

lol I've not heard that one before haha

[Oshio]

With Bayless, that Fury cut should not open. Bayless will stop the fight

[LoadedWraps]

Looks good to me

No complaints here either.

Not one to make excuses for fighters, myself, or anything else, and I'll make none here. Hoping for a memorable night.

WAR FURY!

This is clear to me, the judges will favor boxing skills if it goes to decision and on the other side Bayless will give a no mercy 10 sec count.
