    Very true and take a look at the long count in the third round.

    Come on IB, you and I and the more hardcore fans knew it was mismatch (I thought shane would lose but have moments) but the reality is it was a megafight.

    Pac is like Tyson or Ali at this point. It doesnt matter who the opponent is it's always a megafight now. When you make a bad call when Josh Cobb is fighting no one cares. But, when there are 1 million ppv's and 10's of millions watching around the world it is a megafight.

    I agree he doesnt disciplined. I just dont want to see a pattern of bad calls develop with him. It was a pretty big miss on a big stage.

    i accepted it cause in slow motion on the replays you can tell its a push but from were bayless is standing in full speed i think you could mistake it for a small punch to the body
    kenny bayless is by far my fave ref
    vic draculich is good but whoever gave him that name was just mean
    tony weeks is pretty good but soemtimes has off nights

    He already admitted it . . . so it's good enough. After all the video replays from 3 different angles showed the push quite clearly.

    Yeah because giving Mosley a false knockdown in round 10 of a fight he's easily losing and clearly has nothing more to provide will miraculously give him the confidence needed to be victorious. ******.

    Of course

    Everyone is human and sometimes s**t happens.

    From the way Manny got up I thought it was a punch too

    the fact that kenny bayless missed the call and was man enough to admit it right away-- only cements his position as one of the best in the biz.

    Right. A welcomed mistake by the ref, mitigated by the judges. No harm no foul.

    Only BAYLESS would be man enough to admit a mistake like that :deal


    See that, even when making a mistake, hes the best damn ref in the sport.

    Of course that's an acceptable explanation, he's generally a very good referee. One mistake doesn't change that. He's still one of the best around.

    Respect for admitting it was wrong. Lucky it didn't affect the fight.
