    Considering the holding and rough-housing, who's the right ref?

    Best ref in the game.

    Steve Smoger.

    Mercante Jr. I kid. Smoger, probably. I don't want a ref getting in the way of the action.

    Steve Smoger is the best fighter in boxing. there's a reason he's refereed a couple foty matchups.

    It's being held in Vegas, right? That rules out Smoger, since he generally operates out of the east coast (though he will take international assignments from time to time).

    In terms of the Vegas crew, I would probably choose Weeks or Bayless.

    Anyone but "You know who"???
    (I'm pretty sure you know "who" this is without me having to say his name)

    Weeks or Bayless 4 sure.

    It'll be at Staples Center in L.A., D. Does that put a whole new slant on the ref's suggested on this thread?
