The judges and referee have been named for the June 9th Pacquiao vs Bradley fight and it was a bit of a surprise. Robert Byrd will be the reff and this comes as a bit of a shock because he is not accustomed to being the referee for fights of this magnitude. He has recently been the third man in the ring for the Marco Huck vs Ola Afolabi title fight a few weeks ago.
Normally, when he fights in Las Vegas, the reff for Pacquiao’s fights are either Kenny Bayless, Tony Weeks, or Vic Drakulich. This time a change has been made and only time will tell if a reff accustomed to oversees fights can handle this gig.
The judges for this fight will be Jerry Roth, Duane Ford, and C.J. Ross. They have scored several Manny Pacquiao fights over the year.
