All three judges in Dirrell Abraham fight from Michigan!

Mortgage job on The Martrix I think 11/5 looks very good now!!


Abraham camp not happy with this as they should be:

The Arthur Abraham camp is up in arms over the notion of three Michigan judges scoring King Arthur’s SUPER SIX fight against Andre Dirrell. Hall of Fame promoter Wilfried Sauerland told BILD, “Dirrell lives in Michigan. It’s unacceptable that the judges and the referee should also come from Michigan. I reject that.” Abraham trainer Uli Wegner stated that Abraham must win by KO to take it out of the hands of the judges.

It's not a title fight, I agree that there should be judges from at the very least out of state, but it's not required since there is no title on the line. I'm not saying it's right, but it's not illegal either.

Imagine this was the case in Europe/Uk we wouldn't here the end of it!!!

Absolute joke this, Abraham is being fucked up the arse royally here.

My statement would be the exact same if it happened in Tanzania, UK, Germany or anywhere. Don't pull that poor me Europe/UK shit either, it's gotten old.

It just makes you think twice on the outcome of the fight. I was going for Abraham on points since I think Dirrell will do another "Clottey" or basically will be even more cautious than against Froch. But now Abraham will also want the Ko more so its basically a pickem between Abraham KO, Dirrell points and Abraham points, but Im saying Abraham wins on the cards regardless of the judges

Only in America. Fact.

I am not talking about you personally but as a whole we over here have a far worst rep for this sort of shit which is unfair.

Not really we never here the end of the " Dave Paris won Hatton the Kosta fight " on here, I think it's pretty safe to say Europe/UK has a worst rep than the Usa for this sort of thing which is very bias, Fenster did a thread about robberies in Europe/Usa a while back.

Guarantee if this was the case if Froch was fighting Dirrell in Nottingham and all three judges were from Nottingham aswell as the ref the abuse Froch would get would be off the scale.

just curious... why is the title not on the line?

Froch/Dirrell was a title fight. You seem to have some weird opinion that there is no complaining about decisions, referees in America. Of course everyone outside of the US is very understanding about things like Cortez in the Hatton/Mayweather fight right?. This is boxing, bias happens everywhere. I am in no way insinuating that the US is less biased on things than anywhere else, but to state that somehow the general opinion is that you get called out more in the UK is ridiculous.

[Nameless]

No matter if it is a title fight or not, I think that ethically it is not acceptable to put 3 backyard boys with their hometown boy. There might not be a "title" directly at stake but the end of the tournament is kinda VERY important and the difference between the one who wins and the one who loses could be played on a very small number of points, hence the importance of as much partiality as possible.

First off the Froch/Dirrell fight was a hypothetical example, secondly what I have highlighted imo is very true not just on here but in general in the boxing world. Also I said Europe/Uk not just the UK.

Come on now this is simply not justifiable (if true)

Three judges from the same country is bad enough but THREE hometown judges and a hometown ref!!! What's the point in even fighting? Dirrell just has to stand up to win

[MMASUX]

yea you're right. I feel pretty stupid now

You know he can't just stand up for the whole fight c'mon now.
