Kenny Bayless

Bayless refereed De La Hoya–Mayweather in 2007, Mayweather–Pacquiao in 2015 and the first Golovkin–Alvarez fight in 2017. Those assignments placed him inside events that shaped the city’s modern boxing business.

His background also includes education and athletics. He earned a master’s degree in education administration at UNLV after studying physical education in California. The regional Hall of Fame records mentoring work with local young people. His Vegas connection combines major-event officiating with an educational and community role that continues beyond the bell.
