Duane Ford should not be teaching a class tho after Hopkins/Taylor.

does that mean i get to cheat ppl out of wins like the real life judges do also. wow! why would i have to go to school for that its easy. :rolleyes: hehe :D

That is the commision that I am in. The test is thorough and if you are not serious about it, then forget it, you will not pass.

The ABC is an organization of referees and judges who have no ties to the promoters or any one for that matter. We are officials who come unbiased, as it should be.

Armando Garcia, the one heading the class, is an extremely knowledgable man on the boxing. His insight is priceless to those not familiar with the ring.

To mystyal2k5, I say go take the test, it will show your real knowledge of the rules. And if you should pass, you will see that judging fights is not always easy.

Rockin'

Don't forget Hernandez-Pacquiao

Its not about the money, so much, with me being a referee. Its about being around and involved with something that you care about, something that you love.

Rockin' :boxing:
