Mikkel Kessler employer, Team Sauerland are ready to have two American judges to score the match, when the Danish boxing world champion at the World Boxing Association (WBA) Saturday meetings American Andre Ward in a World Cup match in Oakland. The condition is that one judge may not come from the State of California, where the match box, and where Ward lives. - If the judge comes from Canada or New York does not matter. WBA has insisted on getting a judge from Sweden, but I do not know if it succeeds, because there is not time to fight, says manager Wilfried Sauerland Ritzau. California State Athletic Commission has appointed Steve English and Steve Morrow of California as two of the three judges to score the match. One of the two must give way in favor of a second, says the German. In addition, the German boxing stables that kampleder Jack Reiss from California are being replaced. - Match Head is from California, but we want one with more experience for Jack Reiss has never before had a World Cup match. And then one of the three judges be replaced by another, it is everything we want, "said Wilfried Sauerland. He feels confident that Judge dispute is resolved last Thursday. http://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/anden_sport/boksning/article1256884.ece
Ward's hometown was absurd! One thing I want to point out. We will not accept Dan´s choice of judges. He has done a great job to get his fighter three fights at home, but now he has appointed three judges from California. Needless to say, we will not accept his friends and colleagues judging this fight, so he better starts moving because it takes a while to bring in new judges. The WBA has written a strong letter to the Californian commission that the choice of judges is unacceptable but the Californian commission has been somewhat hard to reach. The WBA has been trying to contact them, sending faxes and everything. If this issue is not sorted, we can have a Super Six fight, but Mikkel´s world title will not be on the line.
Ward does not seem to believe in a fair fight. Will his referee have a baseball bat?! This is incredible!
A long press conference. At the press conference won Dan Goosen and Americans following the show with a lengthy sales talk and a lot of bla-bla, while Mikkel Kessler sat with bluish face and the dog froze beside his German promoter, when the sun had gone into hiding behind the tall buildings. Just right from Sauerland After Dan Goosen and the other Americans had spoken in more than half an hour, began the many assembled Oakland citizens and cheerleaders from Ward's hometown south of Oakland just as quiet to seep from the ground. - The fight is not as long as this press conference, noted Wilfried Sauerland more acidic when he finally got microns. The German then took issue with the judges again. - We can not accept that judges and battle the leader is from California, said Sauerland, while Goosen sat with long face. - If nothing is done, then there will be no box World Cup match Saturday, said Sauerland to buh-cries from the audience. http://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/anden_sport/boksning/article1256792.ece
