This is from livefight's forum:

The Italian ringside ref Massimo Barrovecchio has been swapped with American Tom Kaczmarek after complaints from Kesslers promoter, Mogens Palle. You can not have an Italian ringside referee when one of the fighters is pratically Italian. Frank Warren turned in a protest against the decision made by WBC.


I wonder how Warren would feel if one of the judges was Swedish or Norwegian.
