Perhaps the May/Maidana fight was one where May would have won anyway, regardless of the ref.

Personally, and we need to look into race neutral ref's for large fights like this. Just like we look for race neutral judges for large fights like this along with country neutral.

Smoger, perhaps?
Race should never be an issue in a fight. I've just watched the Pacquiao Hatton fight where Bayless was the ref and he did an outstanding job minimizing the holding and roughhousing which was in favor of Hatton. Bayless is an excellent ref. Truth be told, I would love Smoger to to be the ref here but Kenny Bayless is my second choice.
