All three judges in Dirrell Abraham fight from Michigan!

[Rantcatrat]

Quite simply Dirrell HAS to win this fight to make Ward-Dirrell worth anything. Showtime need this fight.

Abraham can slide back to Germany, 10 million TV viewers and 30,000 punters.

You're doing this on purpose now!!!!!!

All I can ask is that if there is a knockout in this fight either way that the conspiracy theories must be put to rest for a while.

Ward needs to make his fight with Green anyway and Abraham's next fight is in Britain versus Froch, right?

By the way, Fenster, in connection with the conspiracy theory, what "should" happen in the Froch v. Kessler fight?

That's easy to workout. A Froch win is more valuable.

Kessler is soiled goods. His next fight would be Green (means nothing to anyone but an ardent fan of either).

Froch-Abraham would be big in Germany - Huge gate and TV audience. And Froch's biggest fight in Engalnd (as long as Dirrell don't spark AA)

Fenster, at least admit this: there can't be a conspiracy if there is a knockout in this fight and/or if Kessler sparks Froch. Are we agreed?

What's the end game? A Froch tournament win and a showdown with Calzaghe who comes out of retirement for the biggest fight in British history?

Bad judging aside in what ever country, boxing boards of control should be in place to stop things like this happening. The very nature of Judging should, in the interest of fairness, be unbiased. Dirrel IMO is gonna need all the judging help he can get if he fights like he did against froch anyhow.

Sorry killer but your in the wrong here

Title fight or no title fight had froch-dirrell of been judged by 3 nottingham based judges the americans on here would of been up in arms and claiming this was foul play

Abraham is being thrown to the lions here, everybody up to and including the ref are going to do there upmost to ensure andre dirrell walks out with the win. Expect plenty of foul play on dirrells part, forearms, heads etc and absoloutely no punishment for endless falling over

People on here the next morning will scream it loud that dirrell deserved to win the fight just like they did with ward completely oblivious to the fact he got into the position he did through clear cut cheating

Yes cause clearly noone has voiced an issue with this at all compared to your fictitious example. If, if, if................

It makes a good case for an International governance body to control these things.
