All 3 judges for the AA vs Dirrell fight from Michigan! AA camp angry.

While i agree it probably didnt change the outcome of the fight its hard to say it didnt matter.

Ward was getting away with more than any fighter I've seen in a long time , who's to say that didnt demoralise or frustrate Kessler ?

Its funny that a lot of the same fans who are saying its all part of the game when it comes to Ward were the ones crying the most about Dirrell.

for me Iffy calls are part of the sport , there have been contentous decisions throughout the sports history. They all balance out eventually

Loading the judges and refs with guys form your hometown reeks of fear and Arthur should just use that to his advantage

 

Just out of curiosity can you give me a couple of the hurrendous German robberies ?

 

The governing bodies usually pick out officials, most of them on experience in fights of this magnitude, but I guess you don't know about that?
If they're from Belgium, Italy, France, Germany, USA or ****ing Sweden doesn't matter as long as they're neutral, experienced judges. Britain has a history in the sport but Italy doesnt? with fighters like nino benvenuti, duillo loi and bruno arcari... yeah right? :rofl

No its not, boxing is as big if not bigger in Europe than it is in USA right now, and there is a fair number of very experienced officials from all over, not only on the other side of the pond.[/quote]

This tells me you dont know anything about boxing, "if abraham is as good as everyone thinks he is", as if a brilliant boxer can't end up on the scorecards against a lesser opponent? Like that has never happened before?

A Michigan referee could potentially end up a deciding factor in such a fight, where we know Dirrell is prone to excessive holding.

blablabla...blabla...blabla... nice attempt, but you're still running circles in your own mind, you simply can't progress in a debate like this can you?
Was Ward the better boxer on the night? yes, was Kessler given an unfair shake by the referee? YES, I certainly think so.

Yeah, that's very simple minded of you isn't it? Thinking it's perfectly fine to have a local official and a local ref in a fight of this magnitude but still being very much aware of the vast history of bad decision, not only in Germany but all over the world.

 

Dirrell can have 3 judges from Michigan, and he is still going to be ko'd. I like Dirrell, but AA is on top of his game...

 

I remember that one of the commentators said that in GErmany, out of something like 40 fights, 38 went to the local fighter.

I dont follow German boxing, but that has to be one of the most hilarious statistics in the sport, and gives credence to the stereotype of fighting in Germany.

 

Nah son. Dirrells the truth. He aint no shot Jermaine Taylor or Edison Miranda.

 

One fighters progress doesn't translate in his conquerors legacy.
Besides, Kessler losing to Ward isnt the end, as Ward is an olympic gold medalist and a true professional with rather high ring IQ.

Calzaghe himself is/was a masterful boxer.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

I think your a bit bias, seeing as you an kessler has a similar tattoo thing going on :yep

I do agree Ward got away with way too much that night, not with the headbutting, but with the holding and hitting.... Thats was ****ing disgracful.... The ref never even warned him atsch

however, kessler was flat footed, and never got into rythem.... Hey listen, i thought kessler was going to school him, but after seeing that, i just beleive kessler is past his best, and lost too much of his career fighting those german bums and his promoter in court.....

 

ROFL did he really say that??

 

Stop making stupid **** up

 

Thats the same guy who tried to argue with me that jermaine taylor has more power than carl froch atsch

 

He did, and he's obviously sharing the mental capacity of a withered firebug.

 

Oh well , **** , if you're gonna lay evidence like that on me.......

Its honeslty a misconception about German boxing , its no worse than anywhere else . the only really bad one in recent years was Sven ottke v Robin reid where the ref let Ottke away with murder but I mean that wouldnt happen in the states would it ?

 

Utter nonsense. After the Diaz vs Malignaggi robbery(I was a big Diaz fan and even I can admit a robbery when I see one, unlike some people) there was an enquiry into how judges were selected and it was found out that the majority dont even have experience in judging. Just knowing someone is enough to get you a job for a night;.

When I see Italian and Belgium judges or anyone from mainland Europe I get hella suspicious, becuase how can you be a top flight judge, when your local boxing scene is ****. :rofl

Who?

The first time I ever seen Dirrell hold was against Froch. Not against Hanshaw, Stevens, Oganov or Findley.

Btw, it was Europeans who invented the "excessive holding" bit. Since I guess they dont teach you how to fight out of a clinch over there.

Of course you think so. I bet you were one of the many morons that thought Kessler was gonna win. Because you saw him beating up C class fighters and thought that made him elite. While I and those that understood boxing knew he was gonna get taken to the cleaners.

So you had to come up with an excuse. "Headbutts" even though Kessler wasnt hurt by a headbutt until the 9th round when it was all but academic that Ward was gonna win.
