Watch tapes of Cortez & Bayless babysitting Mayweather Alex The judges concern me more Np Moretti PLEASE !!!!!!! Still Ward isn't in ring yet is he LOL
Refs almost never call the kinds of fouls that are Ward's bread and butter. That's why he's been so successful. So to answer your question, yes, the ref will be totally willing to let Ward fight "his fight".
There is no protecting yourself from Sergey KRUSHER Kovalev. he punches too hard and hes stronger than ward in the clinch.
3 american judges and 1 american ref and the fight is happening in american soil, makes me wonder what if the fights happen in russia with russian ref and russian judges?would you consider that fair?
