    Please tell me you're kidding me.

    How the F can the British and US judges be neutral in this? Un.be.f*ckinglievable.

    This sport never ceases to amaze me with its never ending blatant ridiculous things.

    Doesn't matter who the ref or the judges are.

    Froch will lose this fight quite clearly. Sure, the judges might have it wider than the fans, but it will still be a UD.

    Sometimes you see judges from the same country scoring their compatriot more harshly because they're scared of showing bias.

    I was hoping for Dave Parris, failing that Ian John-Lewis. Instead we are facing a Yankie stitch up.

    Just glad the Yanks havent got their own way and allowed Joe Cortez in for this one.

    Just goes to show this fight should have been on neutral ground halfway between USA and the UK like the Azores. Failing that on a Russian Aircraft Carrier halfway across the Atlantic.

    Heeey, stop with all these pre-excuses. man up, this fight wont even be close. Frochs only concern is not getting knocked out. He knows he gonna get his ass kicked and hes cool with that so why yall squawking.

    I guess this is true actually. But still the idea to have a ref from the US and the UK for fighters from the same two countries is just... I've got no words for it.

    You're comparing the 2012 Olympic's Basketball Final with this full-of-crooks and too-many-conflicts-of-interest boxing tournament? :lol:

    I get your point though don't worry;)

    Normally I'd agree on not having an American/British ref but Smoger's cool.

    Shouldn't make any difference though. Ward clear ud.
