Americans always screw the Euros over but Europe has the fairest judges in the world. Calzaghe didnt win a decision over Hopkins in America right?
No, 3 Danish judges would not have been picked. It's against the rules. Ward agreed to have neutral judges, yet they are all from Calif, including the referee. Reminds me of Malignaggi/Diaz fight in Texas.
His point was that Ward had nothing to do with the selection, nor did Goosen. Blame CSAC, it's their job and they ****ed up. ****, Goosen isn't even mentioned in the actual quoted part of the OP, much less Ward. Or do you think that Ward himself personally bribed the CSAC?
And didn't Ward say something about cheating? Weird? Kessler Promoter Wilfried Sauerland announced that his team was objecting to the referee and judges, stating that they were all based in California and that neutral judges are required by the terms of the Super Six tournament. Sauerland said if the WBA does not assign any neutral judges for Saturday, Kessler will not put his WBA super middleweight title on the line and that the fight would be a non-title bout. More details to comeĀ
Um...............I'm pretty sure my post didn't blame anyone. It merely stated that if what is being done to kessler was being done to ward then mr fanny would be raising holy hell. The fact is, somebody on team ward is not playing by the rules. I'm quite sure that Ward is blameless. Goosen on the other hand is not. Showtime specifically put these stips in all the contracts of every fight as rules to adhere to. They went over all of this in print on fightnews.com before the first training camp started. There's no excuse for this at all.
The post you responded to said this: Where, in that post, do you find anything defending the notion that the fight should have american judges and an american ref? In fact, where, in that post do you find anything other than the statement that people should stop blaming Ward for this (look through the thread and you will find people doing just that, including the poster that the above quote was a response to)? Once again, the CSAC picks the refs, judges, etc. Not Goosen, not Ward. Blame rests with them. Trying to include anyone else is in a giant conspiracy theory is pure speculation.
The fans don't. The fighters do. I wish they didn't. The people usually know who the champion in each division is despite what some incompetent sanctioning body tries to tell us, or no matter who they decide to appoint champion due to political or monetary reasons.
I think you might of got my posts mixed there. I did respond to that post, but it was to expose mr fanny as a hater of pretty much any euro fighter. Not to blame ward. I do agree with your post to some extent, but the fact that goosen has nothing to do with this. You know as well as any other fan that promoters can definitely affect selected officials. Hell king, kohl, even saurland has done it for years. That's why kalle isn't letting goosen getting away with this ****. Somethings definitely rotten in denmark. Except it's in cali. And you know it nipple.
