    The worst is probably Terry O'Connor - the stoppage of the Calzaghe Manfredo fight was pure comedy TV.

    Calzaghe must have thrown 200 punches in that one minute of action but connected no more than three or four times.

    I was impressed with the ref from the Jonathon Banks fight last week.

    He done the job with no fuss :good

    I agree with your comments on Parris lol...but Vann interferes too much for me....I find myself shouting with frutration at him at the Tv,he does'nt let a fight flow.

    Smoger, Bayless, and Mercante Jr are all very good referee's in my opinion.

    I generally see smart refereeing from Tony Weeks.

    That was true. It was comical.I thought Cortez was good but his last few performances not grumbling about the hatton one just the other fights since.

    Arthur Mercante Jr. Underrated ref here.

    Check this guy in action:

    I always hated Eddie Cotton and Randy Nuemann. Randy might be OK now tho. I haven't seen a fight with him in a while. At least as far as I remember.
