As most boxing media expected, the Nevada State Athletic Commission yesterday chose Kenny Bayless, considered by most as the top referee in the world, to serve as the third man in the ring when undefeated pound for pound No.1 Floyd Mayweather Jr battles eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on My 2.
Bayless has worked five fights of Mayweather and seven of Pacquao’s.
The judges chosen to work the fight are veteran Dave Moretti, Glenn Feldman and Burt Clements who is best remembered as the judge who worked the first fight between Pacquiao and Mexican legend Juan Manuel Marquez and publicly admitted in a post-fight interview that he had made a mistake in scoring the first round 10-7 for Pacquiao and not 10-6 as the two other judges John Stewart and Guy Jutras had done after Pacquiao dropped Marquez three times in the opening round.
