SAN FRANCISCO (ekstrabladet.dk): Kalle Sauerland cheered today that it had managed to do something about the situation before the judge Mikkel Kessler Super Six match - and World Cup match - against Andre Ward on Saturday.

So the situation that struggle leader and two of the three side judges were Americans, and not only Americans but also from Andre Ward home state California.

- We worked all night long, but it has not been difficult with all the jet lag, as we have experienced, "said Sauerland.

- But we are happy to announce that we have got our first victory on American soil.

- We have managed to get judge changed the composition, so there are now two neutral and two local members of the four officials, said Sauerland.

Kessler happy - but has he won?
Mikkel Kessler is also pleased:

- I'm glad that everything fell into place. I've always been comfortable with that Team Sauerland would get things right.

Sauerland call it a victory, but in the Super Six tournament rules, all the promoters have signed up, is to read:

'Judges and leaders struggle to be found, selected and appointed by the local sports authority (commision athletic), which monitors the battle, however, that the appointment of one judge from each box of the country, the third judge from a neutral country, and to match the head in all cases from a neutral country. "

Since ekstrabladet.dk makes Sauerland aware of this, says promoter that Mikkel Kessler will get the same benefits as Andre Ward when he was boxing at home. So two local judges and two neutral.

Kalle Sauerland indicate opposite ekstrabladet.dk that struggle becomes leader Jack Reiss, who is from California, while the side judges are But Jack Reiss is from California.
