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

[Biolink]

Would it be better for Weeks to be the ref and he pulls a Mayweather/Maidana 1 where he's letting Floyd mercilessly pound and rabbit punch Pacquiao on the inside while clinching and not stepping in to break?

If Floyd wants to clinch then there isn't anything anyone can do about that. Most refs don't even penalize excessive clinching period so I don't know who you guys want that also has that level of championship refereeing experience.

Only problem I have with bayless is allowing Floyd to hold excessively , so yes it's an advantage

Every ref allows excessive holding today. Klitschko has made a career out of it. If Mayweather holds Bayless is a good choice for Pacquiao he's quick to break them. Someone like Weeks would let Mayweather hold and get punches off before breaking them.

I'm fine with Bayless, but he did call a slip in the Pac/Mosley fight a KD and tried to break up Floyd/Maidana when Floyd was put on ***** street.

He did apologize to Pacman for making that bad call and that punch Maidana hit Mayweather with was at the very end of the round. Was he supposed to let Maidana keep pounding on Mayweather after the round was over?

How does he let Floyd hold excessively if he breaks clinches up immediately? I thought the argument was that Bayless won't let Pacquiao fight inside but now it's Mayweather will be allowed to clinch and hold excessively? I am confused by the actual problem?

[Rath]

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

what Floyd fans meant about it was that Bayless help Pac won all those 7 times he officiated them. and those 7 times Bayless were fair because they were all against Floyd.

The logic of Floyd minions

Be objective about it. If you know anything about any sport, not just boxing, you know that Arum would say that because that is what any player, team, coach would say to the refs and judges that will be officiating your next game.

Why you lying?

Phil Jackson criticizing refs




Mark Cuban criticizing refs




Just to be truly objective unlike you many times I will post this article. Point I'm making though is that people still criticize judges and refs all the time before and after games. I get what you were trying to say about Arum but you know damn well if really didn't like the ref and judges he would say something. Arum doesn't know how to STFU and you know that!

IM RAAAAAAATTTTH!!!

you are not confuse, a genius don't get confuse specially the meaning of excessive

Excessive holding for your information means Floyd was tying up his opponent just one time in 12 rounds but he hold them up for 20 minutes.

so you were right it was not excessive since Floyd only hold them up 20 times for just 10 seconds or less. you really is a genius.

jack ass. you say ha ha ha ha ha

not a single Floyd fan complained about tony weeks officiating Floyd vs Maidana 1.

Not a single Floyd fan

they were very happy about weeks' performance, so happy that when Bayless replaced Weeks in Floyd vs Maidana 2 they all pissed and protested it was unfair.
