I like Steve Smoger & think he should get to ref some bigger fights. The fights I've seen him ref he does a great job.
I heard he has a great fight coming up soon.
referees are too quick to break and separate the fighters in alot of Floyd's fights that I have seen, they impede guys from doing work on the inside and by breaking them keep the fight in the center of the ring where floyd usually prefers.
That's because they can't......................................... without fouling.
There's a difference between imposing your weight and size advantage and just plain fouls. See Castillo.
fouls have nothing to do with it.
My trainer Ron Lipton. He refereed De La Hoya-Leija, Holyfield-Mercer, and Ruddock-Morrison.

I've noticed in prior Mayweather fights though that referees pretty much universally don't let his opponents fight physical with him or impose their size.

None really.. But I was watching Mitch Halpern the other night and I felt fucked up that he did himself like that.. I appreciated his work.
His pain was highly evident and difficult to look at..
