Plus Cotto will get hurt im sure but smoger gives u the chance to come back from that where other refs mite stop it!
    Unless you have a leg blown off, Smoger will let the fight continue. Some would say that's a bad thing and I can see the point with a fighter's health and all, but for high profile fights like this that even the public knows about he's the kind of guy you need.

      I'd rather have Smoger, he lets guys fight. Theres a chance Cotto gets stunned, and with Smoger I'm assured he'll let Cotto get beaten to a pulp before he stops the fight. Harsh reality.

        I agree completely.

          Nobody likes a premature stoppage. And with a fight this well known a premature stoppage would be another black eye on the sport.

                Would have liked to see Steve Smoger in the ring. I am sure in this fight there will be a couple of times where a referee could make a premature stoppage. There will be a lot of action in this fight. Imagine if the Taylor/Pavlik fight had been stopped in the second round; and it could have been stopped(prematurely, but it could have). I dont want that to happen in this fight.

                  Its a worry especially as a Cotto fan, the guy gets hurt.

                    I'd rather see Tony Weeks or Raul Caiz Sr., but Benjy is my third choice.

                      I'd rather see Steve Smoger, Arthur Mercante jr or Jay Nady. In that that same order.
