Iâm not sure when people are going to actual realise this is true, but whether we like it or not, there is an A side and a B side, and the A side gets to call the shots. FACT!
Wlad , Floyd, now Canelo.
You might think itâs wrong, you might think itâs unfair, but it is what it is.
Saunders has got 2 choices, like it or fucking lump it.
And as for all the people saying âall he can do is moan about it to highlight itâ, theyâre the very same people that criticise Divers and people waving imaginary cards in football. Tell me, whatâs the difference?

We all know about A side and B side. But those negotiations are supposed to happen before the contract is signed.
Saunders says "I want a British judge" and Canelo says "No dice... they'll all be Mexican"... Saunders can walk. No contract... no fight.
Ginger's the A side... everyone knows that.
Once the contract is signed, if it mentioned a British judge... it's still a contract. Otherwise why even bother with contracts?
A side means you have the upper hand in the negotiations. Not that you can wipe your ass with a signed contract after the fight preparations are underway.
Having said that... Ginger lives under his own rules... blessed by the WBC (we all know by now what that stands for) and all the powers-that-be in boxing.

Iâve got A couple of issues with your post and Iâll try to address them one by one.
Apologies in advance for going off topic.
1. The imaginary card is to highlight an issue and seek justice. Billy Jo whingeing about stuff is to highlight an issue and seek justice. Whatâs the difference.
2. Diving is a ânecessary evilâ are you saying with or without contact? Are you saying CHEATING is âa necessary evil.â

like I say, diving goes deeper than a simple answer
and no, 99 times out of 100 diving without contact isnt acceptable but im not sure all diving (or going down easy) is unacceptable, i think winning games by kicking people is more unacceptable
and i see your point about the imaginary card but i dont think that there is any honesty when people are branding it and i think its more about gaining an advantage
and i dont think its the same as BJS complaining about the judges, if england played spain in the world cup final - in Spain with a Spanish ref and linesman and Southgate complained then thats more like what BJS is doing
branding the card is more like BJS complaining about holding or hitting behind the head or something, asking for a point off

So do you think there will be 3 Mexican Judges? There might be 3 American judges, but technically theyâre Neutral.
In reality I know thatâs not the case, but itâs not a bias that Canelo has manufactured, its more the money men, and that includes Eddie Hearn. Heâs English, but his major interest in this fight is Canelo.
So what do we do about that? đ¤ˇ*âď¸
This is what makes it slightly different in Boxing.

to be fair i dont know what nationality the judges are and im well aware of the dynamics of boxing and the role of the a side and b side fighters
in fact i think some fighters have built a very very successful career on the advantages of being the A side fighter
and i dont even know if i disagree with it happening
what would you do if you were in Saunders position?
Youve signed a contract for the biggest fight of your life and there is supposed to be an English judge and there isn't

I canât see away Saunders can win this.
Caneloâs (just about only) weakness is that he has slow feet. May weather exploited this superbly and he had enough pop to land some spectacular shots - especially his trademark straight right.
Saunders definitely has skills, but not particularly great footwork. I donât see he has the power to get Alvarezâ respect and Camelot is very good at applying pressure until his opponent just looks to survive.

My BOLD prediction!!
Saunders starched by KNOCKOUT!!
But this is it, does the contract state that there should be a British Judge. Because my understanding was that it would be â3 Neutral Judges.â
But to answer your question, IF the contract did state that there would be a British judge, then if I were him, yes, I would kick up about it, but if it really pissed me off, I would threaten to pull out.
And then comes the moment when I would show whether I had the balls or not by pulling out or not. Itâs hard to say.
