we never talk about the refs, I think there are a few that deserve mention and respect, Yes ! many seem to disappoint us every years but im sure there a few good ones out there you guys have in mind.
i will have to go with kenny bayless. he's a native bay area person and went to the same high school as me. my friend's dad is actually a longtime friend of his.
Kenny Bayless. He's outstanding and should be officiating all of the main bouts of the year in my opinion. Cortez needs to retire, Nady makes to many mistakes, but Weeks and Smoger are solid too.
i'm still upset with him for the jt-pavlik fight. i wonder where your avatar would be in his career had he stopped it right there in the second round.
i always rock the pavlik avatar. pav is my favorite fighter. i love jt tho and felt compelled after he pulled out of the tourney. jt is a class act and i've been a fan of his for years. boxing would be a much better place if eveyrone had jt's class and willingness to fight anyone. smoger had no business stopping that fight in the second round. pav shot up at 2 and was wobbly but he could def go on. my only smoger complaint happened in pav/miranda when smoger gave miranda all that time to get his mouthpiece back in. haha merchant was all over his ass for that.
Kenny Bayless. Guy is the best there is, and I love how intense he is, always poised like he's ready to explode a moment's notice. Extremely entertaining.
