    If it was Smoger again, there's no way Pavlik detractors wouldn't ***** in some way or another because that would be 3 fights in a row with Smoger/Palvlik.

    Good choice. Weeks is a competant official. Another good choice would have been Bayliss.

    I hope Arum will push for natural judges... I mean the scoring of the first fight was horrible...

    But Pavlik won't need the judges anyway.:thumbsup

    Weeks is very good, although in truth, this will be an easy fight to referee. What I liked about him so much in Castillo/Corrales I was that he allowed the two fighters to work on the inside, and he never disrupted the action.

    He also stopped that fight at the perfect moment; Castillo was clearly done, and he didn't take another unnecessary -- and potentially life-threatening -- shot.

    As for Chavez/Johnson, I don't think that can be blamed on him. There just wasn't a great moment to stop that fight. That one mostly goes on Johnson's corner. R.I.P.

    I think he gave Corrales too much time to recover after the knockdowns.

    Weeks was the ref for one of the greatest fights ever, Castillo/Corrales, so yes this is a good choice imo
