    agree on this but not 99 out of 100.


    I know my homeland is one of the worst places to get a fair decision but the fans here want to watch the supersix fights on primetime and not at Three O'Clock in the night.

    The judges will be neutral if two americans from two american promoters fight each other in germany.

    Who are you people with this ridiculous notion that Ward didn't outright whoop Kesslers ass? It's embarrasing. Even if there was bias of any kind, Kessler didn't even come close to proving he was the better fighter at ANY POINT in that fight. It's not like he is an inside fighter who wasn't allowed to fight inside. If he was able to execute his gameplan (jab, jab, right hand and keep distance) there wouldn't have been any headbuts. He was clearly underprepared and unable to adjust. Deal with it.

    They have already said that wherever it is held it will be on European time.

    Ward was dirty but Kessler just let him do it.

    Froch would have thrown a low blow or something just to let him know he couldn't get away with it even if the ref was allowing it. Ward clearly won.

    I get it. In Germany, AA beats Dirrel by KO. In America Dirrel beats Froch by Decision. In Nottingham Froch beats Kessler be decision. This is all true.

    But where on planet ****ing earth does Kessler beat Ward? Nowhere.

    Well that should work then. They can put on delay for us in the states I suppose then. Just have to stay away from boxing news till after the fight. Or maybe just have it on early for us here, than show it again later. Wouldn't mind that.

    That was not the Kessler of the Calzaghe fight. Kessler was extremely impressive in that fight, even in losing. I don't think he is physically what he used to be. He used to be a damned beast in the ring. You can even see he doesn't have nearly as much on his punches. His technique likely slipped a lot as well with so few fights in recent years due to his issues with his former promoter.

    People say that Ward fight makes Calz look worse. That's ridiculous. They need to watch Calz vs Kessler. That's a classic. Ward would have trouble with either two version of those fighters.

    Ward did what he needed to do and won and I think he is good, but he did not beat a great version of Kessler.

    I never buy into the whole because a beat b he would beat c beacause b beat c. Styles make fights. And ure right Kessler was a beast. Its the same way people talk about the Lacy that Joe fought being the same as todays Lacy. Crazy.

    Nearly every bloody weekend!!!

    I'm a bit of a night owl anyway. Worked out well the other week, went to Mitchell Katsidis and was home in plenty of time after a few bears to watch Khan magic man.

    This is the quote I don't get. I didn't think there was anything wrong with the ref job or the judging. I thought the venue was fine. The only problem that night was that Kessler didn't show up. And it was a lot better than ****ing Nottingham! If you're statement was "After what happened to Dirrel in the Froch fight, Froch shouldn't be allowed to fight in Nottingham during the super 6" you would sound reasonable. But this **** about Oakland is embarrasing. I am sure that if someone shows up to Oakland and out fights Ward, they can win a decision. It's not Wards fault Kessler allowed the fight to be so one sided. You want the judges to give Kessler undue rounds to make it look "fair"? Cuz last time I checked, the judging in Oakland was right on!
