    my personal opinion of what i've seen bayless is overall a great ref, 1 of the best around
    sometimes over cautious, but sometimes in this kind of sport not always a bad thing

    i think personally he will give maidana a good ticking off, and maiden may lose a few points
    points both fighters are guilty of fowls, but i think bayless will work in may weathers favour.

    Nothing to do with Mayweather. :hi:

    It's about Tony Weeks and his incompetence. :smoke

    I'm surprised nobody has yet to comment on the proof that Mayweather is still taking random drug testing. I know some people were wondering if he still was since it isn't mentioned much on all access nowadays, thought that was interesting if you look at his response to all the "can he read" talk lol both checks show $25, 000 write offs for random drug testing.

    That's the problem. He's too involved; animated; barking instructions; talking to the fighters. IMO that makes him not such a great ref. He needs to STFU and stay out of the way. It's pretty clear he wants to be the center of attention when he's in there. An egomaniac if you ask me.

    But you're cool with Mayweathers constant elbowing and face-washing though right? It would literally kill you to be unbias towards Floyd wouldn't it?

    He's not nearly as bad as a lot of refs, like Vic Drakulich or Jay Nady. He doesn't really interfere with the flow of a fight, in spite of being animated. Plus he's usually good at picking precisely the right moment to stop a fight.

    2nd best ref behind Smoger for me.
    If he wont let Maidana work in close i hope he wont let Mayweather use his elbows either.
