    Exactly.
    People are like but he's living in the States for x amount of years. So what?!
    The guy walks out to the Russian anthem, he's a proud hardcore Russian, he gets no simpathy for living in the States.

    Anyway, this shouldn't be news. Back a couple of months ago Andre Ward said NO to NEUTRAL judges. Why is that ? Only both promoters together can demand neutral judges. Duva was now left with objecting to these judges, and maybe getting other american judges, but that would be useless and stupid.

    Ward is afraid to fight without having any possible advantage. If he wanted a fair fight, he wouldn't be Andre Ward.

    I agree for good measure, they should've had neutral judges but either way, people are going to pretend that Kovalev landed shots with monumental power just because he has a reputation of being a bigger puncher, and everyone will cry robbery.

    This is why Americans will always have an asterisk on their record. Nothing but home fights. The history of sports shows home advantage is real.

    Golovkin got a gift decision in front of Jacobs home crowd. You don't like our country, **** back to your country and stay there fighting for happy meals and ****.

    When do they announce the Murican ref or have they done that already? If memory serves the last fights officials were announced less than one week out. I bet they get that horrific Tony Weeks guy this time or Smoger who will never stop the fight no matter how much damage Ward takes thus keeping the screw job via judges construct alive and well.

    Just look into the backgrounds of those judges and you can only shake your head. They are not even trying to make this fight seem fair this time around. They could have easily found two foreign judges that would have been sympathetic to Ward like that clown from Belgium who's name escapes me at the moment. There is an Italian judge who would also play along, no problem.

    Boxing, first and foremost, is about money. Since most objective viewers thought Kovalev, as champ, did enough to beat Ward in the first fight, Kovalev will win this fight so there can be a big payday in the third fight.

    I'm talking about boxing, you dumb emotional ****. It's nothing to do with hating American. It's just a fact that they get home advantage. It's not all about refs either, it's a psychological thing. Records in pretty much every sport prove it's real. And GGG didn't get a gift decision, Ward did.

    If you respond, try to do it without crying this time.

    Oh Sorry I didn't know, I thought you were talking about Cricket. I'm talking boxing too dickhead.
    Where was this hometown advantage for Jacobs against Golovkin? You still haven't answered that question.

    I bet there isnt 3 British judges for the Kel Brook fight tonight. It isnt that hard to get 3 neutral judges. I thought Kovalev won the 1st, but i knew Ward would get the close round scores from the judges it wasnt a shock its what happens all over the world. But for the rematch it would of been fair to have real neutrals, no more than 1 American but that happening was out of the question. Why? Why other than it being seen as an advantage to Ward.

    In the fact that he fought in his home country? Damn you are slow. I edited my post to break it down for you because I knew you wouldn't understand. Guess I was right. I don't have time to draw it for you, hopefully you'll get it now.

    If you think every fight is rigged and every fighter you don't like is cheating and using PEDs, stop watching boxing...
