It may be a fake twitter account though.

Highly, highly unlikey



I thought Byrd was biased as hell, never warned Billy goat for his head first lunges.
But even him couldn't come with Ward as a a winner.

interesting, if true

Byrd was as hopeless as Bayless. How hard is it to break guys and warn for holding?

I'm assuming the general consensus among refs is that they don't look forward to officiating an Andre Ward fight.

The BadLeftHook website that initially reported the story has since issued an apology to Robert Byrd, because it turns out the Twitter account was indeed fake. The very same website has also removed the highly-embarrassing original story.

It seems that an awful lot of people (excluding yourself) have made themselves look foolish by reacting to a fake Tweet.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. There was no chance a referee would come out and say something like this, unless he never wanted to ref again of course.

You would have to be a complete moron to believe that was a real account. Come on. This is like people sharing those obviously fake satire news stories on Facebook and thinking they're real.

Next thing we know, Roy will come out saying he changed his mind about his friend Ward being gifted the decision...

It was a fake tweet, what more do you want?

The ref. is not obliged to retract or apologise for someone saying something that he didn't.

There's no controversy here, since the ref never made the remarks he was accused of saying.

X2. Says a lot for the intelligence of some of our posters
