3 american judges and an american ref.....

[bojangles1987]

LOL, there are so many Golovkin nuthuggers ****ting their pants at the possibility of Ward beating Kovalev this Saturday. I wonder how many still hold out hope that Ward will randomly not show up.

Go look up some media reviews from that fight.
"Carl Froch outclassed by dazzling Andre Ward" -BBC

Another British publication, the Telegraph, gave it 117-112 for Ward.

Yet another UK publication, the Guardian, said, "Andre Ward is beyond argument the best super-middleweight in the world – so good, in fact, that he beat Carl Froch into a distant second place with virtually one hand, as well as defying the bizarre judgement of two of the judges."

Truth is a bytch, eh?

Ward is not a darling for American judges. Don't try to distract from my point by bringing up Pacquiao. I gave a specific instance in which Ward was treated unfavorably by US judges in a fight against a high profile European.
Don't read more into it than what I said.

"Ward is not a darling for American Judges" Nope he isn't because he is a darling of the American referee that would allow ward to head butt all night.

"Carl Froch out classed by darling Ward." He is indeed outclassed there is no denying that. I never said that Ward didn't out class Froch but guess what? Out classed is relative, same as Marquez vs Bradley competitive fight but it was clearly Bradley out classing Marquez.

The fact that you are already muttering how 4 officials of the same nationality as the challenger is not an advantage despite otherwise just shows how you blatantly ignore political advantages of a fighter, which is a has been in boxing shows that you are not objective towards an even playing field.

Kovalev just has to knock him out. American referees can count to ten.

What a totally expected and very widely predicted joke.

Again, I have to remind you not to put words in my mouth and not to let your imagination run away with you. I did not issue a global statement or say I thought 3 American judges was a good idea.

If you can't understand what I said, which was an example of Ward being treated poorly by American judges despite the British saying their own fighter was dominated, then please ask an adult to help you figure it out.

I just got a special favor to all you living outside of The United States of America...Please rise for our national anthem...and pay your respect to the men and women serving in harms way defending freedom all over the world....I am deeply hurt that you all think this way of our great country...America is the land of opportunity and Kovalev can attest too this....this dirty peasant even shook the hand of our president Donald Trump! hes living the American dream...U.S.A!!!

Stacking the deck trying to negate the KDs that Ward will endure.

I'd like to say i was shocked by the choice of officials but this is boxing and nothing surprises me. How the **** can you have 4 officials who are the same nationality as one of the fighters? And how is this considered fair? In other international sports like football the ref cant be the same nationality as one of the teams, so how is this allowed in boxing? Especially considering kovalev is russian, and russia is definitely considered a sporting and political rival to america. I was under the impression that you werent allowed 3 judges of the same nationality let alone a ref of that nationality as well, for the big world title fights? Like for golovkin brook there was an italian and two canadian judges. Lets hope that theres no funny business going on in this fight

You forgot to mention his American paycheck.

Shut up and enjoy the damn fight. You dudes are so in love with individual fighters that you can't even enjoy boxing anymore.

115-113 were the correct cards. the judges were right, and more importantly thats how i scored it.
