    Weve done this thread before, but Steve Smoger is hands down the best referee EVER in boxing. Frank Cappuchino is a close second.

    Mercante Sr is overated and I always felt corrupt
    Mercante Jr thinks hes a rock star
    Cortez is too involved
    Steele was too involved
    Nady sucks



    Bayless is good
    Lane was good
    Halpern was good

    Cappuccino was hilarious! I remember him from Lewis vs Briggs: "Ahhhhh. Come on. What are we gonna do?"

    Kenny Bayless and Tony Weeks are my two favs at the moment.

    Worst refs: Lawrence Cole of Texas and Mercante Jr,

    Cortez is an arrogant ***** and a mediocre ref.

    Yeah, Cortez has been blowing for some time now.

    Forgot about Smokin Steve Smoger. I remember him getting dotted with a chair in the back of the head in the aftermath of Rahman-Maskaev I.

    Tony Weeks is much better than Cortez. He lets fighters punch out of a clutch, and also lets the fighters have the centre stage. Cortez likes to be the focal point.
