Steve Smoger.

Let's be real guys.. Earl Hebner is the GOAT referee.

He's great. Soon as I saw him during introductions, I was happy.

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.

Damn your right, my bad. I still smogger!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you, though... Mercante Jr. is a great ref as well.

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.

smoger is an elite level ref with an elite level neck
