"The Arthur Abraham camp is up in arms over the notion of three Michigan judges scoring King Arthur’s SUPER SIX fight against Andre Dirrell. Hall of Fame promoter Wilfried Sauerland told BILD, “Dirrell lives in Michigan. It’s unacceptable that the judges and the referee should also come from Michigan. I reject that.” Abraham trainer Uli Wegner stated that Abraham must win by KO to take it out of the hands of the judges."
actually it looks more like Dirrell's going to bed early on Saturday.
it ain't gonna matter. if AA lands flush it's good night dre
I'm a Michigander, I'm rooting for Dirrell and I'm going to the fight and I still think this is bullshit. I dont want Andre to win because of bad officiating. If some shady crap goes down I wonder if people will start throwing drinks like they did at Golota
i think this is good news, Dirrell to win by UD
I don't even think that is true. i believe I read that in the contract, that the judges would be 1 from each fighters area and 1 neutral judge. So I don't think this is true and if it was i couldn't see the Kings people not doing or having a say in that matter.
Thats what i read as well, One judge each from where ever the fighters are from then one neutral judge and a neutral referee, So i dont know how they could get the fight sanctioned without those rules in place.

I'm a big Dirrell fan and I genuinely think he will beat Abraham but this is unacceptable.I think these guys are playing mind games with Arthur but still things like this should never happen.Americans claim someone is not great until they have fought in America but with such stupid things who would want to fight in America
judges won't be needed....they was never needed for this fight....as long as the ref can count till 10 its all good!!!.....Dirrell's brothers and cousins could be the judges for all I care.....he STILL going to sleep!!...WAR ABE!! :boxing:

here's a question for all the detroit/MI guys on here, if Dirrell gets a gift win, say AA wins 9 rds to 3, will you boo the decision or cheer Dirrell? Because I wont accept a gift win, that'll make MI look even more like sh@t and we dont need that right now.
I live in Michigan and yes I will cheer. Because if you remember correctly Dirrell was just ROBBED in his last fight.
I dont care if AA is knocking dirrell out with the referee's help or not, Whats wrong is wrong and having 3 judges and the referee from his Hometown is plain wrong. They need to change the referee and two judges period.
Stuff like this is why the Super Six is turning into a joke. You should never have all Michigan judges in a for a fight in Michigan featuring a Michigan hometown fighter, especially one that just lost a hometown decision to someone else.

I'll cheer for Dirrell if he deserves the win, if not I just wont cheer for anyone

I've got a real money bet on Dirrell winning a decision, but for the good of boxing, I hope Abraham ko's him. And Dirrell wasn't robbed in England. It was a close fight that could have went either way. Plus none of the judges were British when Froch fought Dirrell. What is happening in Detroit is blatant home cooking.
War Abraham!!!
If something shady goes down in favour of Andre i suspect a riot wont break out. If AA walks out on the fight like Golota-Tyson cuz something unfair is happening i could see drinks being thrown.
lol flashbacks of Golota Bowe or Maskaev Rahman I
I watched the Golota-Bowe riot again for the millionth time earlier... Never gets old lol

Man I was just about to say that, Im going to the fight too and I am a huge Dirrell fan but yes I also do not want anyone to be victorious because of shady judging... I want the man who deserves the win to win this fight... I just hope something doesnt happen like Dirrell losing a decision to bad judging or Abraham to KO Dirrell early, we might witness a boxing riot in a city that does NOT need one
