Did anyone else notice that the reffing was totally one sided during the B-hop Murat fight? How did only Murat get points for hitting on the break? It was coming from both sides, BHop seemed to be totally the dirtier fighter, but I still love him At the end of the 12th, Smoger straight up pushed Murat back into his corner by his head
Lol he literally threw two Ortiz style headbutts as soon as the bell rang in the 12 he's lucky it was smoger I would have dq'd him.
Smoger was a little biased towards Hopkins with that said hes an OG and hes the best ref in the sport and has been for quite a while.
My favorite part was when Smoger said" I'm tired of your ****" to Murat , towards the end of one of the earlier rounds.
I had to open the thread because I had no clue what the title was talking about. bais = bias Although I was able to find "Bais" as a city in Manny Pacquaioville.
He would warn Mirat after a series of punches thrown by both after a break, or after the bell, and then ask Hopkins if he was alright, like they were friends outside of the ring or something
I usually like Smoger's work, but the hugging and kissing Bhop when the result was announced was well out of order!
The difference in fouls were Murat's were blatant while Hopkins' were well disguised. Hitting someone when they are down on the floor, isn't very smart. Waiting a second or two and then hitting after the break isn't smart either. Neither is throwing two headbutts after the bell of the 12th round. Real ***** move that one. Haven't seen it mentioned before but Murat also threw two low blows at Hopkins in the 12th just as Hopkins was coming on strong and trying to finish him, first time I've seen a fighter employ such a pathetic strategy. So yeah the severity in fouls were what brought Smoger into action IMO, Murat went above and beyond on some occasions and got penalised for it, simple as that.
:deal Smoger showed considerable restraint throughout the fight for MURAT. Smoger had enough of the antics at the end. Smoger should have just DQd him. Hopkins fought a relatively clean fight by his standards.
