Smoger is without a doubt the best in the business. Any lessor ref would have stopped Pavlik in the 2nd round.

Oh, hell yeah... In fact, I remember yelling in my living room for Kelly to fire back because that was thin ice with 10 seconds left to go in round 2. I thought Smoger was gonna stop it... I really did. But it was a lesson to other refs that even though it may look hopless for a fighter.... It may not be the end. Let em fight!![]()

Always remember Smoger at the end of the Augustus-Ward fight, you could tell he had enjoyed it, didn't he say something like fight of the year?
Lampley's always going on about how Smoger lets things go, I don't have any problem with that early in fights, like Pavlik in round two, wasn't any shot of him getting seriously hurt, people really only get seriously hurt by taking a long drawn out beating.
All I can say is right know he is the best referee in the field.
Smoger is definatly one of the better refs in the business....And POB is right he allows guys to fight like they should fight but makes sure they don't get hurt either.....I would pick Smoger to ref any big bouts with punchers

Yep, he's a good one for sure. Him and Mills Lane were/are the best. Get rid of Gay Nady please. Smoger looks like a dork, but Nady is one![]()
LOL Smoger does look like a guy you would see on an episode of the honeymooners...I could picture him dressed as a bus driver or the maytag man.....
Thing about Nady is he just sucks.....I was going to use another way to put it but there is no other way when it comes to him.....
I have seen him intimidated by fighters to the point he lets stuff go he shouldn't or shows favortisim.....
Anyone remember him in the dressing room before the PBF/DLH bout when he was giving the instructions in the dressing room..telling Flod what an honor it was to ref hgis fight and he would be willing to give him a handjob if it would help him in the bout......

LOL; handjob. One hand saluting, one hand being naughty. Naughty Nady is my new name for that bastad'.

Smoger is the best in the buisness. Pavlik-Miranda and Pavlik-Taylor are examples of how fights should be ref'd.
I think the refs like Smoger, Mercante Jr. and others who do fights in New York, AC, and Connecticut are far superior than those in Vegas.
