    The super 6 has had some of the worst refereeing i have seen.... :-:)-(

    Froch-Dirrell - The ref didnt care about froches dirty tactics
    Ward-Kessler - The ref didnt care about wards dirty tactics
    Dirrell-Abraham - The ref didnt care about dirrells dirty tactics

    This tournament really highlights the advantage of a hometown fight....
    Im not even talking about fighters performances, or the fights themsevles, but the officiating in those fights was horrendous :patsch

    I feel bad for ANY boxer that has to go to another fighters hometown these days :verysad

    I know this is hard for you Abraham cumguzzlers to understand, but Arthur Abraham complaining about body shots doesn't make them low blows, it makes him a whiner.

    The economic factors probably won't allow it. More ticket sales for a guy fighting near his home.

    Some of Dirrell's "low blows" that Abraham complained about were not low. They were borderline, though to Abraham's credit at least he didn't wear his protective cup up well above his belly button like too many fighters do nowadays.

    I knew your disgraceful ass would show up sooner or later with the excuses.

    Really brings out the true ***** in people when their fighter gets their ass kicked.

    I agree 100%....I always thought the idea of "neutral" officials....Was a judge from one fighter's home-country/city,etc....another judge from the other's home-country/city,etc....and one from niether

    and the ref is from niether fighters hometown, country, state, etc...but I haven't seen that lately...

    Right. From now on, all fights are in a remote location, like in that farm Rocky trained in for Drago

    Agreed that he does whine. Dirrell was right on Fight Camp when he said AA doesn't like bodyshots.
    I know they act like they're married to the fighters it's creepy.

    Hey cocksucker...

    I agree, Dirrell stepped up and owned abraham...
    I have not stated otherwise, and I have never been an abraham fan... So shut the **** up please.....

    Dirrell showed tonight, he has the fastest hands at 168, decent power, great footwork, and a very solid chin..

    Its a shame the fight ended the way it did, dirrell deserved to get the win properly. He put on a masterclass tonight.....I hope hes OK

    However, you can not say the officiating in kessler-ward, froch-dirrell- or dirrell-abraham was any good? All of those fights had clear hometown bias.....

    Wtf does me pointing out hometown bias in 3 of the 4 fights in the tournament have to do with any kind of fanboyism????:patsch:patsch:patsch

    I want it to be fair for all fighters....

    There's going to continue to be hometown fights, and in nearly all of them, you're going to see the hometown man win (currently, the home fighter is 4-0). That advantage is usually the case with fighters on a relatively even level, and it's not going to change because that's where the money is.
