    One of the judges in the Klitschko/Povetkin fight is a convicted
    felon currently under house probation, but will still be able to
    judge the fight in russia while wearing an electronic ankle device.
    Ted gimza is from illinois. You would think that for a fight of this
    magnitude the commission would just find another judge, but now
    it lets me know for sure this gimza ***** is in somebody's pocket.
    But which pocket? Wlad's or Sasha's?

    How is someone under house arrest in Illinois able to travel out of the country?

    Yet another reason why I'm picking Povetkin in this fight. It's bull**** but they will try and rob Wlad here.

    Based on christo's post, I looked up the details on Ted Gimza. He has a criminal history, was convicted on a felony weapons charge this summer, and had the registration for his local Golden Gloves chapter cancelled due to late paperwork. Yet SOMEHOW he got a judge to approve his travel to Russia, which the article in the link below somehow deemed fit to skip over!!! All that aside, at least he has some experience in world title fights, and having reviewed his fights from the last 3 years, the only notable outlier was his scoring Sturm vs Murray for Murray, 115-113. The Klitschko camp gave their approval to all the fight officials, so maybe Gimza going against Sturm in a fight in Germany was seen as a positive by them.

    They should put the judges for the Chavez/Vera fight on probation, ban them from boxing and make them wear ankle bracelets!

    Could be worse.

    SweetHome_Bama could be judging it.



    But seriously, it's starting to look like Wlad will need the KO here.

    It just looks like they are setting us up for a robbery. From the record purse bid to Russia to Putin and now this. Wlad will probably need the ko.

    Rumors are that Povetkin's people are planning on cheating Vlad, how I do not know. Vlad should knock Povetkin out, but is the referee on the take? What about the other judges? After the Chavez/Vera fight you never know what will happen............ The big money is backing Povetkin and will do anything to get a Povetkin win, so go the rumors. There are rumors before every fight, but in this case..................
