    Dan Rafael just tweeted that the referee is Benjy Esteves and he's Puerto Rican. This is not far at all to have a Carribean Latino referee. He will be biased and favor Rigondeaux. They should of gotten a referee from a different race.

    :twisted:

    No it's not fair. Why couldn't they just get a White Ref so it's neutral and fair for both fighters?

    I could spin it that Puerto Ricans are American citizens so he'll be biased towards Donaire.

    See what I did there?

    only if he's a fake rican like Danny Garcia

    but why would an american referee favour the ¨Filipino Flash¨ anyway?

    Plus as the terrible early stoppages in the Lopez-Salido fights demonstrated, Puerto Rican referees are also extremely corrupt. Thank God JuanMa exposed their duplicitous gambling habits.

    He considers himself a pinoy. The fact that he carries the Phillipines flag around and calls himself ¨Filipino Flash¨ is a big **** You to all americans who want to ride his pinoy coattails
