His first and foremost loyalty is to the WBC and to Sulaiman. He'll cave depending on whether it's a pet Sulaiman project or not. In this case, he'll favor Ginger Boy. Even worse is the choice for ref. IamInuit is right. One brief flurry by Ginger Boy in the corner, and Cole will step in and stop the fight, much to the delight of a winking Sulai-scumbag.
Gentlemen. I can understand the antipathy towards the WBC and Sulaiman but don't assume that Canelo is going to need a dodgy refereeing decision or some less than unbiased judging to help him win the fight BEFORE a punch has even been thrown. Personally I think Alvarez stops Trout. He is no flash in the pan and whatever you think about his previous opposition most neutral boxing fans can't really pick holes in his opposition this time. Give the kid a break.
Of course it doesn't. I got no problem with fools calling officials crocked. Cuz there's a lot of them out there. But damn at least prove what your saying is true. Show some facts. Not just mindless opinion. Notice I asked how voting in favor of Stevie Johnson (a black fighter) and Dingaan Thobela (South African fighter) proves Schellenberger is bias towards Mexican fighters never got answered? He brought those fights up as some kind of proof. I just wanna know how does it prove it.
I just hope the ref doesn't come into play. He's been on the hot seat before, and is perfectly capable of affecting the outcome of the fight. If Canelo's going to win, let it be without the help of the judges OR the ref. Otherwise, it's going to be just another chapter in Sulaiman's crooked web of corruption.
Personally, I'm rooting for Trout to kick his red-headed ass.
Fair enough. History where the WBC is concerned cannot help but be brought up here my friend. I'm not sure how it cant. It would be akin to ignoring the past offenses of a re-offending murderer. My cynicism here is based on being a witness to this charlatan's escapades for decades. From that cynicism comes skepticism because the cynicism is based on observation, experience and repeatability therefor its empirical. I cant help that either. Many of the moves again in this case sustains those views.
Having said that you are right. Its wrong to blame Alvarez so point taken sincerely. I have been a little overly harsh at him unfairly. He's a tidy fighter and sound enough technician. I wish to see this fight end with the better man winning because he was the better man. Should this fight end this way and Mr. Alvarez gets his hand raised I have no issues in giving him credit and eating a plateful of crow for thinking Austin needed a gun to get a decision.
I covet no ill will. Should be a great fight.
Cheers
