Have Refs Been Named For This Weekend's Fights?

[Hitman932]

Cavalleri let a fair bit of **** slide in the Froch - Pascal fight so don't be surprised if Dirrell gets ruffed up a bit when they come in for a hug.

BTW, i'm not a 100% sure it is Guido Cavalleri but he is usually the guy who handles WBC title fights in Europe over the years.

I thought he let Froch get away with quite a bit as well.

Just watching highlights of the night you see at least a half dozen instances of Froch cuffing Pascal behind the neck with his left and hitting him with an inside uppercut with the right.

I call that move "The Lennox Lewis Special"

Very Funny.

A guy like Terry O'Conner getting his hands on one of these jobs could ruin the whole tournament.

They should get quality referees and judges so nothing can ruin the tournament. Not likely to happen but you can always hope.

Roger Tilleman for Abraham vs Taylor and Terry O'Connor for Froch vs Dirrell.

Joking

Tilleman was that bastard from Ottke-Reid.

I remember that mofo,he was terrible.As corrupt as you can get.

Smoger??

The man is a legend. Perfect fit for this fight.

Steve Smoger is an ATG ref.

Seems like he mostly works East coast fights though. I wish he'd work Vegas and West coast stuff more often.

Replace that good for nothing Joe Cortez.

Smoger should definitely be involved as much as possible.

He should ref a semi-final and he should be the man for the final as well.

Definitly man. Actually yeah now that I remember that Italian judge from the Froch Pascal fight he let them away with a lot of rabbit punches too. Both of them were doing it, but I don't remember him making an issue of it.

Thats the best way to describe him. ATG.

He never puts a foot wrong. Cortez is a shot referee lol

Possibly the worst referee I've ever seen and I've seen some bad ones.

[catalinul]

Jersey Joe Walcott's performance in Ali-Liston II was laughable aswell.

[Hitman932]

Possibly the worst referee I've ever seen and I've seen some bad ones.

The guy who helped Yoan Hernandez up, ruled it a slip, and then started a count after 10 seconds of hesitation has to be up there.

[Chunk..]

I only found out the other day that Wyatt Earp used to be a boxing ref, and a really bad one at that.
