Kessler camp shocked over judges

[skel1983]

You Euros have such a twisted view of America. 3 American judges, who cares? If 2 of those judges are from Los Angeles then they probably hate Ward anyways. It's cool, don't worry America can handle this.

Come on Amat lets put it on the other shoe, imagine Hatton was fightinG marquez in Manchester and two of the three judges were from Manchester imagine the uproar from our American friends.

Let me preface this with a "I think all three judges should be from neutral countries" BUT.

Oakland is twice as far from LA than Manchester is from London. Would a London fighter get the same bias as a Manchester one would?

Are you asking if fighters from the same country fought?

Rather than an American in his hometown with American judges and ref against a Danish world champion?

All I say is that in fairness to California, we have a pretty strong commission by today's standards. In Vegas this occurs all the time right? Did Calzaghe not get the nod over Hopkins? I'm sure they are more then capable of handling this.

However, if the rules dictate another international judge, get one, but know that there is more to scoring a fight then just where you're from.

So what are you saying, non-Americans can't score fights? Damn amat your true racist colours are shining through.

An American judge did her best to rob Calzaghe. The majority of the world scored the fight for Calzaghe yet good ole American girl Adalaide Byrd just so happened to score it for Hopkins. Hmmm.. nothing dodgy there then

Some news from eb.dk

Sauerland informs about some changes

The reff is Jack Reiss from California. Side-judges are Steve Morrow (California), Stanley Christodoulou (South Africa) and Michael Hook (Sweden)

The ref should be British or neutral, I remember Robin Reid getting fuucked over by home town refs against Lacy and Ottke.

The lacy ref was so biased, when Lacy landed on his arse, the dopey ref helped pull him up
