I thought he was a bit slow at times but he was OK overall. Disgraceful is a powerful word, shouldn't be used so easy, imo.
A boxing referee has no business inserting themselves constantly into the fight like that. Constantly breaking them up as soon as they are up close is not only annoying it stops either fighter from doing work on the inside. It was funny that despite all of that his boy got smashed by an upper cut on the inside in the 7th. So Taylor beat the ref, Ramirez and all 3 judges this morning.
Bayless is an awful ref. Glad to see this thread. He needs to be removed from big fights. His performance was once again absolutely disgraceful.

Josh should stay away from Crawford. He'll never get the decision. In this fight, Kenny Bayless was against him, the judges were against him, the commentary was against him and his promoter was secretly against him.
"He was on my case all night, he kept warning me, he kept telling me he was going to start taking points. I said, "for what? I'm not doing anything wrong here." He was on my case." "I was disgusted with the judges, I've won that fight out the park. We weren't happy with the judges but I didn't want to say anything in case they tried to **** me over which they did anyway." Josh Taylor.
Bayless used to be the best until he started receiving little brown envelopes and pre-fight blowjobs from ring girls.
I did not see Bayless favouring either fighter, i think he did a disservice to both, his refereeing overall all was definitely poor on so many levels, to point he became the focal point and not for positive reasons. To put it politely referring by Bayless was abysmal.
My pick for worst current ref. Worse than Laurence Cole!! What a camera hog this guy is always sticking his 2 cents in. Breaking fighters as fast as Joe Cortez used too. Needs to be demoted to 4 rounders
