    Default Fave Referees

    Been seeing a lot of negative comments about Cortez lately (rightly so) just wondered if anyone had any referees that you thought did a good job in general.

    Mills Lane
    Harry Gibbs
    Richard Steele

    I like Tony Weeks and Kenny Bayless. also Steve Smoger.. these refs seem to care more about humanity.
    An empty can is always noisy.

    Hands down it has to be these two guys here.


    Steve Smoger



    Arthur Mercante Jr.

    BTW. Mercante Jr's. line after stopping a fight has been "I Love You Too Much." It is not just Zab Judah he has said this to.

    Love anyone who will stop a fight when they think it's right and know they might get flak for it, Steele stopping Taylor on the last second is a classic example.Turns out that Taylor had swalloed a huge amount of blood, as he says it only takes a second for a punch to be thrown,land and take a decision away from you.

    When there's a really big fight, there are 2 refs who I feel completely comfortable with.

    Kenny Bayless and Steve Smoger.

    American refs are usually better in terms of competance with the exception of Joe Cortez. He messes up far too often these days.

    In terms of British refs, Dave Paris stands out as a total loser. He does whatever it takes to please the house promoter. Fat,bald scum!

    They are usually spot on. I hope one of those two is doing the Hatton: Pac fight.

    I totally agree with GAME too. Dave Paris is a disgrace, I still haven't got over that Khan fight. Dave Paris is the Joe Cortez of British boxing.

    used to be mills lane, now its bayless or weeks.

    The best refs are the ones you completely forget are in the ring with the 2 fighters and let the fight just flow.

    As for the worst refs......

    cortez, drakulich(sp?) and jay nady


    oh and as for fatty parris.....
