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.
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.
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.
Definitely wasn't Smoger; that was Mercante Jr.

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.
