Lost so much respect on Bayless.

I agree. But if Kenny Bayless was some corrupt referee in the pocket of Wilder, why didn't he rule it a foul?

He really couldnt. He knows there is replays. He has to be discrete. We seen Bayless do some shady shlt in the ring. But he also has to protect himself at all times also.

Taking a point away. In that fight was premature. And it showed his favoritism.
although....He did tell Wilder in the opening of the 7th that he had to show him someting...Warning Wilder he was gonna stop the fight.

OP must have missed numerous fights where Bayless was a disgrace in his bias, Mayweather vs Maidana 2 was hilarious, he was petrified anytime Maidana got close enough to throw, and literally sprinted across the ring to separate them when they were in the clinch.

And the replays show Fury was hitting Wilder behind the head repeatedly in the third round. We can debate who was at fault, but if Bayless was in Wilder's pocket, he would have called it a foul and given Wilder time to recover.

no no no. Wilder was also given shots to the back of the head. No way he could take a point from one and not the other. But what he could do is what everyone thought would happen. Fury was gonna use his size and weight in the clinch. Everyone knew this. Even Bayless. Thats was gonna be a sure factor in this fight...and was. And what did Bayless do? Without even a warning or two as they are usually given...he take a point from fury. Bayless isnt new to this. And neither are the die hard fans. As soon as it was announced he was the ref...Look at the reaction people gave. They new it wasnt gonna be good for Fury. He would wave off a fight premature. deduct points or DQ. HEs been involved in this many times

Fury needed to be warned for those headlocks; he continually used them throughout the fight. But I’m still at a loss as to why Bayless deducted a point. One can say Tyson deserved it for all the headlocks, but the ref never once warned him. And that begs the question: if Bayless was so in favor of Wilder, why didn’t he address the blatant headlocks?

It's pretty much confirmed now it was for punching on the break. There wasn't even a headlock at the time of the deduction.

[Chaos]

Fury was constantly headlocking him, 100% deserved deduction. He was warned about it

Except that's not what the deduction was for, it was for punching on the break.

[NUCLEAR]

He was quick to take a point away. The biggest fight in HWs in decades and he wants to help Wilder in any point he can. Same he did with Floyd holding all fight with Manny. Not even a warning of holding.

this bayless is a paid shill.

[saopaulo]

kenny payless is a utterly corrupt sellout and used to allow g-ayweather get away with constant holding and and hitting but hey its boxing and anyone with half a brain knows its rigged from top to bottom.

[YoungManRumble]

I agree completely.

Then why do you keep posting the picture and whining about it like a fat cuck?

[YoungManRumble]

He denied Fury 2 points in a single round. He didn't count the 3rd kd when Wilder went crashing into the ropes then was quick to deduct a point and interrupt the action while Wilder was badly hurt which could have denied him another kd.

He basically tried to hold Wilder up and then got out of the way realizing that he can't be that obvious but then also didn't rule an obvious knockdown as he fell into the ropes.

[craigus1990]

I didn't like the fact that he was breaking them apart as soon as they got close to each other but, I don't know, I just think some refs let the boxers fight in the clinch and others don't. I don't think there is anything underhanded going on with it.
