    Smoger, Bayless, Weeks, Drakulich & Caiz Jr. are all good with me.

    I haven't been able to stand Joe Cortez for quite some time. Back in the day he was actually quite good, however he got old, fat, lost his hair, and started up that, "Remember, I'm firm but I'm fair." bull**** and it seems his incompetence expanded as fast as his waistline. I lost a lot of respect for Smoger when he reffed the Cotto/Malignaggi fight and was telling PM to 'Run, Paulie, run!" and "Dance, Paulie, dance!" in the last round. What the hell was up with that? A ref giving advice to a fighter during a fight should be grounds for immediate suspension.

    He can do sometimes, but the way he almost shadow boxes whilst circling the ring always makes me smile.....

    In terms of Cortez, he has tried to make himself almost bigger than the event - I thought he was OK until about three months before the Hatton Mayweather fight. He had a shocker then and has been awful ever since. His biggest shocker was the Klitschko Thompson fight - failing to DQ Thompson for not trying :rofl

    I agree with the consenus of Bayless/Smoger

    Steele was okay although he stopped fights a bit premature. I liked how he handled Mayweather/Judah.

    Mercante Jr. is good as well.
