Kessler's Promoter, Sauerland Says Give Me Neutral Judges Or No Belt!

Two american judges? Sure, sounds great.

 

forget about the fighters and whatever country you like, why would you ever support something that had a built in hometown judges and ref?

 

With that....I agree......and I hope it gets fixed and doesn't bring the fight/ tourney into question. We've already had 1 controversial decision and hope we don;t see anymore. Let the fights happen and the best fighter win regardless of where the fight is or who is administrating it.

 

.....fixed. A poor choice of words. I hope it the situation gets rectified.

 

why wouldnt this HUGE detail be taken care of in the original contract? its a no brainer......they wait till a few days before to point out ****?

 

Because if you get them changed late there is less time to buy them off.

 

Yeah this is crap impartial judging my ass.. the judges i think should all be from countries well removed from the fights... that means eastern euro judges and american in england... english and euro in america etc...

 

excellent move to keep the fight more on neutral grounds although I suspect Kessler really won't need the help

 

S.O.B Ward got caught cheating. Well, Ward still owns his referee and one judge.

 

Kessler don't need no stinking judges in this one. The ref, however, is important.

 

Even tho i think kessler is very overrated.....

I still think its very shady that ward has all his fights in his hometown, with california judges :huh

WTF, this guy has only beaten one contender. Who the **** is he to be making the demands?

very shady.... isnt gossen german or dutch anyways? his name sounds germanic :huh

 

S.O.B. Ward almost got away with the complete plan to cheat, but he still has his referee and one judge. The ref will try to help Ward out a lot.

 

After such a long time we have something to agree on :yep

 

The judging fiasco is regrettable, and has been resolved, but his contract states that he gets to fight in Oakland for the first round. It's not like the other fighters were unaware of that fact. They agreed to it, so I don't really see the problem.
