It's official, good choice and a strong ref 😊

De La Hoya said he thinks the selection of Bayless will work to Mayweather's advantage.
"I think it favors Mayweather, absolutely," De La Hoya "There is no secret about that. I had heard Kenny Bayless was going to be the referee and that's one point for Mayweather right there. If you notice every fight Mayweather has had with Kenny Bayless, the referee should break them up if both hands are tied up and they're not throwing punches. If you notice, for instance with Maidana, when they got in close, right away Kenny Bayless would break them up.
"One hand would be free from the clinch but [he still broke them up]. It's an advantage for Mayweather."
He's been kinda fair to Manny in my opinion but the last Maidana-Mayweather fight it was another face of him. Overall i like him but Cmon Nevada...
I don't think tying up will be an issue for this fight anyways. Manny doesn't really tie up and mayweather only ties up pressure fighters. I see this fight being fought mainly on the outside anyways.

In all seriousness - How many were really in the running ?
Steve Smoger ?
Who looks like the late Paul Bearer ?
No question Smoger is one of the best refs out there. Unfortunately, he's a court judge in New Jersey so he rarely strays outside of the state to referee fights. Therefore, you won't get to see him officiate in any of the big fights in Las Vegas any time soon.
Tony Weeks ?
He's consistently one of the top officials in the sport. I like his style because he lets the fighters fight. He's never too quick to break fighters on the inside and lets guys throw if they have a hand free.
I've never heard any controversy surrounding Tony Weeks. He refed the Jose Luis Castillo and Diego Corrales fight (Say no more)
Joe Cortez ?
I think he'll never live stigma of him fumbling around the Mayweather - Ortiz fight down, not knowing what he's doing with, missing Mayweather knock Ortiz out, because he's too busy looking at the time kepper, I think that's his Richard Stele (Julio Cesear Chavez - Meldrink Taylor) moment. Something that will stick with him no matter what he does
Kenny Bayless ?
To me he's the best guy out there, he's more mobile than Smoger who I feel is his only real challenger. He seems to always stop a fight at the perfect time, he breaks the fighters appropriately, and he never has any controversy surrounding him. He's the consummate professional.
He's mentioned little during the broadcast of a fight, almost invisible in the ring, as he gives the fighters plenty of space and isn't an overbearing presence.
I have one problem with Bayliss though
I'd tell him to put on some deodrant or don't were a nylon shirt or freeeze sweat glands before this fight. He sweats more than Barry White, Luther Vandross And Elvis put together. Hell - He sweats more than the fighters in the ring.
Don't wanna be seeing his sweat patches on that nylon blue shirt, there will be kids watching, not to mention billion other adults (lol)
