Kenny Bayless named referee for May 2nd

:shock: Khan was dead on his feet.

He told Floyd to cut out the BS after the bite eg: 'I didn't see it'!

Yeah, that was pretty dopey. One out of three I'll give you.

 

I would prefer Smoger, but oh well

 

Kenny admittedly had an off night for Maidana 2 but he's been a fine ref.

I doubt we'll see as much hugging/wrestling with Pac/Floyd though. And Pac doesn't have a history of hitting low and hitting the back of the head and holding while hitting and......

 

Exactly. Bayless was a factor in the Maidana fight because Maidana was dirty. Pacquiao isn't dirty, so the ref is a non-factor.

 

Kenny has the most intense face/eyes in the business. Excellent choice!

 

And that's just the money he gets from the commission.

 

So it's going to be a boring hugfest.

 

I doubt you'll see much clinching in this fight.

 

Yea, because he let Mayweather hug Maidana atsch

He broke the clinches INSTANTLY.

 

I saw that. That's not a good sign for Pac, they both I believe may have worked more than one MW fight.

 

Agreed. He's not gonna let them fight on the inside.

 

I don't think so but agree that they should have went with someone else than the usual choice in Bayless. Mix it up a little. Would it really hurt to have Jay Nady referee this fight?

 

Resetting the action in Mayweather's preferred range. So whenever Manny gets close, Floyd can just hug and bam, the fight is back where he wants it. That means expect lots of hugs.

 

Then it's up to Pacquiao to disrupt this rhythm and not allow him to clinch.

 

Strange. I don't think Bayless will be a factor but I too was hoping it'd be someone else. Just to eliminate the excuses. The less excuses, the better. This doesn't help anything.
