Anyone concerned about the judges tonight?

The thing about those judges isn't so much their nationality. It's their actual history that some knowledgable posters have raised a stink about. Exactly. Van De Wielde is nothing more than a mercenary for the home fighter. Every single title fight that he has ever been involved in saw him turn in a questionable card favoring the local guy.

If you know boxing, you always have to be concerned about the judges.

But they know a lot about firm tits, fine meats, cheese and wines. Sh!t man, sign me in Dick!

I am worried about the officiating in any sport I watch these days. Everything is crooked.Let's be honest, nobody seriously thinks Hopkins will win this, even though we all want to see boxing history. Crooked judging tends to occur when there's a chance the hometown fighter will lose: Froch vs Dirrell/Kessler, Bradley/Witter, Judah/Matthese, Sturm/Oscar and a whole bunch of title fights in Germany. Nobody in Montreal is thinking Pascal's in any danger tonight.

I think Hopkins should win this fight, but something tells me we might get the Ali Funeka Juan Guzman judges. im more concerned about Pascals offence atm bully....the guy is no joke and can beat hopkins if he keeps him out....but im still hoping my man Hopkins Wins :boxing: but i reckon it will be Pascal Win by UD or SD :(

I have no reason to suspect biased/incompetent refereeing from Michael Griffin, but Van de Wiele being judge really has me worried. That guy is as crooked as they come.

God I hope not. Even though I'm not a Hopkins fan I think it would be great to see him win. These things don't ever happen and it would be awesome to see a 46 year old man beat the man of the division. Regardless of whether people like him or not, I think he should be undefeated outside of his pro debut and the Roy Jones loss.

Great people who know nothing about boxing. But they know a lot about firm tits, fine meats, cheese and wines.

Jack Woodburn scored the final round of the fight, where Dawson was beating Pascal all over the ring, for Pascal. There is always at least one judge cheating on Pascal and Bute cards. The ref was also in a huge hurry to have the fight stopped knowing Pascal has ahead on the cards and hurt. He could have let Dawson finish the round but didnt want to give him a chance. All I hear is: WAAH, I'M SAD BECAUSE MY BEST AMERICAN FIGHTER CHAD DAWSON LOST TO THE GREAT CANADIAN CHAMP. :bottle: Now get ready for Pascal to beat an American all-time great!

That's racist. The French are great people. Great people who know nothing about boxing.

Not according to Osama. Who the hell is that??? :dunno:

Let's just hope the judges weren't in Switzerland judging that Holyfield/Valuev fight- that was robbery of the year!

That's racist. The French are great people. We're not called French, moron. :pat: That's like calling Americans and Australians English. French people are from France.

Pascal vs Dawson had fair judging. Don't even lie. Look at the scorecards for yourself: judge: Jack Woodburn 108-101 judge: John Keane 106-103 judge: Gerald Ritter 106-103 Those scores were pretty much how everyone saw it.

Why do there have to be judges with Frenchman like names for the Hopkins fight though? It makes people including me smell fix from a mile away. That's racist. The French are great people.

Noob? Who the f*ck are you? There has never been good judging and refereeing in a Pascal or Bute fight in Montreal. Tonight will be no different. Pascal vs Dawson had fair judging. Don't even lie.
