Smoger was disgusting tonight

Hopkins knew this was a fight he could win so he fought less dirtier then usual. If it's a fight he feels he can't win he will be super dirty to the other fighter majority of the fight to get the edge. Then when the other fighter does some dirty tactics back to him there go Hopkins doing his acting job crying foul. See the Joe Calzaghe & Jone II fights. He a good fighter but why do the dirty tactics? People say he's crafty veteran for fighting dirty? But he cries foul when someone does it back?

Finally saw a article about his actions.

You have no goddam idea what you are talking about. "harsh on Murat?" WAHHHHHH http://creepandpeep.net/gallery/d/23554-1/Okay_wtf_reaction.gif

I can't believe how biased he was. Kinda ruined this fun fight for me. Hopkins fought 12 rounds without a warning and he was harsh on Murat. I know you want the American to win but dear god. http://stream1.gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs1/3013583_o.gif You have no goddam idea what you are talking about. "harsh on Murat?" WAHHHHHH

Thank God there are some people who see sense, this was the worst officiating by Smoger in a long time. I call it like it is.

Murat the disgusting one!

What piss me off was the fact that Murat let smoger get away with it. Murat should if stood his ground. Should've hit him with a haymaker. KO Smoger.

I think he let the fouls and Murat not listening to him get him and culminated in the final bell when Murat was purposefully head bashing Bernard he grabbed his face and pushed him away. I actually thought that was beautiful but even if a fighter pisses you off you shouldn't favor the other guy so obviously as a ref you're supposed to be neutral.

That was some of the most obvious bias and it was surprising from Smoger. I usually never have a complaint when he refs. All ref's had bad nights. Last night was a bad one for Smoger. He's still one of the top ref's in the game at the moment.

Typical NSB logic. If the guy isn't a top fighter he's a bum. Is Murat world class? Nope. He is a durable, tough opponent though. Guys that Wilder and Russell jr fight are bums. Murat was a contender. He's above journeyman status. Decent win for Hopkins as his first title defense at his age. Great win? Nope, but decent and it was great for the fans to see put on a show 25 years after making his debut at the same venue. Remarkable stuff. I'm sorry, I don't see where I've happened to have made that specific distinction between "Top fighter" and "Bum" and how they are side by the side on the level graph. I mean, he's not the lowest of the lowest level bum like the guy Wilder was fighting but the guy is a bum none the less. He's clearly an absolutely terrible fighter. The guy doesn't have an impressive win on his record and was dominated by a guy who's a decent level contender at best who got hold of a vacant paper title. I guess only in the World you live in beating Murat is not only considered a decent win but also remarkable. In reality it's worthless. Really shouldn't even be considered a title defence.

Murat had no game plan it seemed. How in the fuk are you gonna get outworked by a 49 year old man? :lol1: The guy is just beyond terrible. No skills, no stamina, not a good boxer and not really aggressive. Just a sitting duck. No speed, no power. Really just a bum.

I actually thought he was going to DQ him for the two punches while he was down. Not too sure what Murat was thinking there. Like another poster said, Smoger would have been well in his right to DQ Murat for that. It's not that he was too hard on Murat, it's just the fact he was on Murat's case for everything and didn't say a word to Hopkins, even when he blatantly fouled right infront of his face. He didn't even let Murat have a break like your supposed to entitled to when you're fouled like that. There was quite a few occasions where if Hopkins wasn't fighting a bum he'd have pretended to be injured more than likely. Murat's so bad that when Hopkins get's low blowed, falls to the canvass and get's punched while he's down not only does he actually continue the fight, he doesn't even need a break :lol1: Murat had no game plan it seemed.

Smoger could have dq'd Murat you know. He was perfectly within his rights to do so. Numerous lowblows, hits during a break, rabbit punches, turning his back???... Trying to hit Popkins while he was seated on the canvas... Smoger wasn't disgusting, Murat was. He deserved a dq, in all realness

I'd think the same if it was two random fighters. I've always liked no nonsense refs. Smoger wasn't having none of Murats sht. Murat was pretty blatant with his fouls and never stopped after warnings. As for Smoger hugging Hopkins or whatever, he's done that forever with fighters don't know why it's suddenly a problem now. How many times has he hugged one fighter whilst pushing the other in the face at the end of the fight? Infact I don't recall him hugging a fighter at all after the fight's finished. That's precisely the point he wasn't having any sh*t from Murat, that's great. But Hopkins could basically do what he wanted and - "Hey Bern, you good? You're doing great baby". Pretty clear and obvious bias.
