Comments Thread For: Smoger Explains Why He Let Lebedev Smoke Crack Roy Jones

[Steak]

if u really think that you are a moron.

smoger let it go on even as roy was out on his feet and u say theres nothing wrong with the stoppage (or lack of)?

the playing possum excuse is lame too, anyone could see he was really out of it. the way he was hunched over and looking at the floor how would he capitalize on a chance tp counterpunch if he got one? why wouldnt he defend the previous two punches that hit him flush? even if we say for the sake of argument he was still awake then, was it really the best time to play possum? when you are getting hit flush with punches u dont see?

smogers number one task is to protect the fighters, he had a helpless fighter in front of him and didnt step in. something which couldve meant serious injury to that fighter. that its roy jones makes no difference at all, no matter who it was ppl who know boxing wouldve reacted and rightfully so.

smoger was nothing short of incompetent.

thats bs. I can tell you right now that if Lebedev hadnt hit him with that final shot, then Roy would have straightened up and people would have been complaining of an early stoppage since Roy didnt have much longer to go in the fight.

that final punch made it a true KO instead of a TKO. KOs happen in boxing, get used to it.

incidently, long term damage doesnt usually happen from a nasty looking knockout. Its when a guy is continually hurt but survives and yet continues getting pummeled by clean shots. ie Bowe-Golota 2. and Smoger ALWAYS stops it in those situations.

If Roy was actually hurt after the fight, then you might have had an argument. But the guy was giving a concise post fight interview not too long after getting KOed, and was better off than when Glen put him away. reality is that he was simply KOed, and people didnt want to see that happen.

Smoger is a very good ref, but he made a mistake on this one. I blame,Roy, more so for subjecting everyone who grew up watching him to this. In his prime, no ONE was messing with RJ. But this has quickly gone from sad to tragic.

[Gratide]

Feel bad for Roy , but he shouldn't be in the ring , SS did his job to the best of his ability . Pls retire Roy , you're a bad commetator on HBO but that's better than getting your brians beat out because of greed or pride .

[ADP02]

Oh STFU you armchair Ref. Have you ever been in the ring you fat twat? Watching it in slow motion on your fat ass at home and being 1 foot away from him is a complete diffirent thing. Smoger is the best at what he does, he doesnt stop fights premature like some other lame ass refs. Did you even WATCH the fight? RJJ did the EXACT same thing in round 10. It was a legal hit and he didnt let him take too much damage, once he saw he wasnt playing possum he stopped it. You only rely on your instincts in the ring, while you on your ass sit at home and watch it in slow-mode replay from 10 diffirent angles he did it without hesitation in a second with adrenaline pumping. Fighters aren't the only one who get adrenaline pumped thru their body, the Refs also get it.

People who criticize Smoger should blow the sand out of their vagina's. He's the best at what he does and is ATG TOP 5 Refs. Look at the number idiot Ref's who are around today who stop fights and ruin peoples careers when fighters aren't hurt or dont let them fight (like that **** brit Ref stopping the Cleverly fight without even going to doctor)

Hey budd, we all have opinions and I believe my opinion was more to the point than yours.

The above line of yours that I highlighted made me laugh. So when Smogers saw Roy hit face first the canvas is when he called the fight NOT BEFORE ... that is when he realized, Ooops, Roy was not playing possum!

Just because he is better at letting boxers fight (longer) doesn't mean he got this one right. That's what I saw and most people saw too!

Roy was OUT ON HIS FEET. Do you deny this? If you didn't see what most of us saw then the conversation stops there.

- I said, "Smogers MISSED THE (CORRECT) CALL." Was I wrong in saying that?

- I said, "It was clear that Roy was NOT playing possum and was out cold on his feet." Was I wrong in saying that?

- I said, "there were just seconds left in a fight that Roy Jones was clearly losing .." ... so it would not have changed the fight ..... ie. my point was to an earlier comment that it was NOT the same as stopping Roy in the first round against Danny Green.


By the way, I have been a REF (but you don't need to to realize) and I know that it's not easy and you need to make a split decision call, at times ..... BUT even myself, I have to realize when I MISSED the call.... just like Smogers did.


By the way, I saw that he missed the call the first time around. The replays just confirmed it .... BUT even if I missed it and then saw it in the replay wouldn't change how I felt about it ..... Like I already said, Smogers had a split second decision to make BUT missed stopping it .....

IE. Smogers thought Roy was playing possum .... so Smogers MISSED the call because Roy was definitely out on his feet!!!

[Chups]

Unless you're ******ed or something, it was pretty clear that Jones was out. Jones is no stranger to these KOs, so should have been prevented to go on that far.

I'm something, not ******ed. If the ref says he thinks Roy is playing possum then that's what it is. Unless you've been a referee before you are ******ed.

[Pinoy4ever]

I blame nobody but the boxing commission to let this fight happen.
