    anybody peep out how he would break the clinch? he would just sneak up like a ****ing ninja and pull who ever's glove was holding onto the others back down. i mean it kinda defeats the purpose of a clinch but it keep the action going so iam all for it.

    I dont like it. I was hoping Juarez or John would catch him with a punch or elbow as he was sneaking his way in. That'll teach him to mess with the action.

    The only problem I had with it is that Juarez got free shots off whenever Cole would pull John's hand down. It's blatantly unfair. Instead of calling "Stop" and then "Break!", Cole would just pull John's hand down and simultaneously, Juarez would launch a power punch that would occasionally connect.

    That guy does that all the ****ing time. I am surprised he still gets gigs. He is a hometown ref. Each time he did that to John, Juarez would go for a sneak shot. Either you break it up or you dont. You dont just pull the other guys arm down in. What kind of **** is that.

    he would do it to juarez too tho, but iam sure juarez has had him for a ref before since he lives in h-town and knows how he works.

    I don't mind Lawrence Cole as a ref. He didn't do a bad job but that is a strange way to break a clinch, you're right.

    I just watched this again and I could swear that in the 9th, after he pulled John's hand down, Cole slapped him in the face! He slapped him again in the 10th, but it was on the shoulder. Juarez definitely knew how to take advantage at those times; I guess he's drawn that ref a few times.
