Judge trouble before Kessler-fight From TV2 Denmark Source: http://sporten.tv2.dk/article.php/id-9187970.html This content is protected Team Palle has shortly before the World Championship fight between Mikkel Kessler and Joe Calzaghe turned away all ringside judges. It happens in reply to a protest from Calzaghe's promoter. Joe Calzaghe's father is an Italian. Therefore Team Palle couldn't accept an Italian ringside judge. Yesterday the judge was replaced from Støvlelandet, and that led to protests from Calzaghe's promoter, Frank Warren. Now Team Palle has therefore pulled a line in the sand. "VI haven't accepted any of these judges, because we can accept everybody or nobody", say Team Palle's agent Michael Marley to TV 2 the sport. Mikkel Kessler doesn't make himself the large worries about the judge situation. It, which will decide it all, is it, which will happen the night before Sunday at the ring. "I do not consider it not at all. I think of the fight, and then I load my manager take care of the rest", Mikkel Kessler says. Also Marley is certain that Kessler comes in the circle in spite of the current situation. "There is a fight, but it's to be fair", Marley says. According to Team Palle there hasn't later than on Friday to be hit a decision. It hasn't been possible to get a comment from Joe Calzaghe's promoter.
There will be plenty of b.s. leading up to the fight, like any superfight. Only important thing is that we as fans dont translate it into excuses.
JJ i actually cant wait for u to **** off these forums once Kessler loses on the weekend. One more dellusional Kessler fanboy down.
More: Restlessness about judge to the Kessler-fight This content is protected The Italian ringside judge Massimo Barrovecchio has shortly before the World Championship fight between Mikkel Kessler and Joe Calzaghe been alternated out. That decision the safe-deposit box organisation WBC made today. "It is a decision, we support of course. Every grown man can understand that there may not be an Italian ringside judge, when one boxer closest is an Italian", says Kessler's manager, Mogens Palle, to TV 2 the sport. Joe Calzaghe, has an Italian father, and the WBO-world champion is on often holidays in the boot country. Therefore Mogens Palle objected face to face with WBC over that there had to be an Italian judge. But the case isn't decided completely still, because now Calzaghe's promoter, Frank Warren has, voiced protest. He'll have Massimo Barrovecchio back to large anger for Mogens Palle. "It is childish. Frank Warren has protested, because he is ice cold in the ass over whether Kessler gets a fair fight", Mogens Palle is furious. In spite of Frank Warren's protest, Mogens Palle maintains that the decision is in force at. "We have it in black and white from WBC that they have replaced the Italian", Mogens Palle says. The new ringside judge becomes the American Tom Kaczmarek, who also judged Mikkel Kessler's latest struggle against Librado Andrade.
Yup, but Warren wants an Italian judge instead of an American. I wonder why. Too bad if Warren should lose his investment in the Italian judge.
He's a good poster - Much better than you, obviously. I don't see any reason why he should "**** off" for liking a fighter. You need to **** off and get some class. In fact, all the Danish posters are good on ESB. Sometimes it gets a little frustrating seeing clear bias, but it's without all the aggravation you get from American and my fellow British fans, so it's welcome. if Kessler does lose, i hope they stick around. Like Kessler himself, they are good people.
