    Don't blame him the Texas commission is a joke. Would you want Laurence Cole refereeing a fight of this magnitude? Would you want those inept Texas judges? Those clowns have let several fighters walk out of the arena without submitting post fight drug screens. It is a total clown show over there. Vegas while not perfect has their stuff together and have done huge fights like this before. You want the strongest commission in a fight like this.

    Please Cole wouldn't have been allowed to,ref this but then again any rev is better than those on the MW payroll like Bayless !

    Plus you really think there would be no drug testing for this fight stop that nonsense !

    Cole does ALL their big fights because of his daddy ****ie Cole. It would be a joke in Texas and this is coming from a guy that lives in Georgia who was voted in the bottom 3 commissions with Kentucky and West Virginia a few years back I wouldn't want it here either :lol::lol:

    Georgia need Tom Mishou back as head of the boxing commision. Mishou did not put up with any BS from fighters, promoters, etc.

    Mishou was the commissioner that tried to land the Tyson Lewis fight, but the other commisioners and Governor Roy Barnes didn't want Tyson to fight in Georgia.

    Say what you want but Lawrence Cole has never officiated in as biased a manner as Kenny Bayless & Joe Cortez have done in favor of Mayweather. Mayweather wont fight outside of Vegas because he knows he has the commission & their officials in his pocket. Not to mention the Xylocaine.
    Vegas is the most corrupt boxing venue in the country. Ca aint far behind

    I seriously quit reading right there. Do research on the disgraceful things Laurence Cole has done. You are clueless and I am saying that in the nicest way possible. :-(

    Um, no the commission does. Who has been running that joke of a commission? I think ****ie Cole was forced to step down.

    I think he was forced to step down but for a fight like this all the parties involved would,have had to agree it wouldn't been as simple as just having the ref from Texas offciate the fight ..

    We made a serious bid for a Mayweather fight a few years back also that was shut down at the state level. Other than Ali-Quarry we don't have a history really and even that fight took lots of political funny business to bring it here.
