    HOF Ref Steve Smoger tells some great boxing stories on recent podcast

    I thought some people might find this interesting for various reasons and might not ever hear it otherwise since its buried on a very niche podcast, though someone on here recommended it to me so thank you TeddyBrenner

    The link is all queued up to start at the right time. He talks about stoppages and counts and all the controversial stuff. Some subtle shots fired at DAZN, Hector Camacho Jr and some other stories from his point of view. Sorry the sound quality is kind of bad I think they're in a restaurant or bar or something.

      The story about him officiating the Pavlik Taylor fight was great. Really could have used Smoger's judgement last night in the Lopez Valdez fight.

        Just think if Smoger reffed one of Wilder's fights.

        Those Wilder haters who insist his opponents should have been able to continue would be in graves right now

          Thats not what I was alluding to at all. Pretty sure any ref would have stopped it after the shot Ortiz took in the rematch.

              Great stuff. Very interesting and important to hear that it's not a "ten seconds" but a "ten count ".

                Idk why that's still confusing to people. I remember hearing that with the Tyson vs Douglas fight and that segment they did on the Dempsey vs Tunney long count and not been understanding mfers talking about this 10 second stuff ever since.

                  Bumping this. Got a chance to listen to it and it was, like every Smoger interview, cool AF.
