Steve Smoger.

Steve Smoger is incredible. Him and Kenny Bayless are definitely the best.

Smoger and Frank Cappuccino are the best. Don't even know they are there

steve "get your money's worth" smoger... at his best AGAIN.

He is an amazing ref and he lets fighters fight on the inside and fight how they want which some stupid refs don't allow for some reason

smoger is an elite level ref with an elite level neck

During the 2nd round of Pavlik vs Miranda, both guys were swinging for the fences, tearing each other up. After like a full minute of non stop slugging, both guys went in for a rare clinch for a breather. Smoger goes in to break them up and yells at both of them: "Beautiful! Beautiful!" That sums it all up. Smoger loves being there. You can read it on him. He is a true fan who has his dream job.

Damn your right, my bad. I still smogger!!!!!!!!! I agree with you, though... Mercante Jr. is a great ref as well.

Definitely wasn't Smoger; that was Mercante Jr. Damn your right, my bad. I still smogger!!!!!!!!!

Always like Smogger. Guy cares about the fighters and lets them get to it and fight inside. I remember the Cotto/Yuri Foreman fight when Foreman got hurt and almost quit. Smogger was telling things like "your a world champion, handle this like a champion," and after this fight he goes over and praises each guy for a great performance. One of the bests refs for sure.

He's great. Soon as I saw him during introductions, I was happy.

Let's be real guys.. Earl Hebner is the GOAT referee.

Cortez is a tool. The fact that he has a catchphrase tells you everything you need to know.

He's alright for fights between come forward brawlers or guys that just come to fight but in a fight like let's say Cunningham-Fury you would need a ref like Cortez or some one who's strict with the holding stuff.

That's how everyone should ref, not get too involved with the action and most of all allow fighters to fight off the clinch.

I like how he dismissed judah's complaints and told him to man up when he *****ed about low blows.

Sorry if this is taking up precious space where other amazing threads would be made... but just wanted to say what another amazing job Steve did last night. Truely the p4p best ref... I wish this guy could ref every fight. See how close Zabs gloves went to touching the canvas when he was wobbled? I think he did a great job not to call those knockdowns... on the fly it was difficult to tell if his gloves touched or not imo... and again he let danny and zab go to work.... just a super job. Steve is top 5 refs in the game..Hands down..

No two ways about it, Smoger is the best ref out there.....and has been for quite some time!
