LOL @ all these Fat Yanks talking about Kessler getting robbed by UK judges...

[Guest]

... because Las Vegas is known as the centre of fair judging, isn't it?

It's funny, but I remember the same Fat Yanks talking about how Jeff Lacy would get robbed on the cards.. and they're right, he did, didn't he?

Even one of this site's writers gives it us that:

Calzaghe by unanimous decision...home cooking the difference for Joe...

Let's not forget that it'll be English judges rating the performance of a Welsh Italian against a half-English opponent. Though fair enough, Frank Warren will probably be there with an iron bar.

But how anyone from the country that gave us Lewis-Holyfield I or numerous other fights of that ilk has the stones to talk about the UK as "The Other" (one for Kaplan fans out there, I'm paying posters the compliment of assuming they have an education) that is out to rob for "its own" is beyond me.

Hometown decisions are part of boxing. They are even part of boxing in the amateurs when you are 10 years old. They happen. The bout is in Wales...which is Zag's hometown. The crowd can affect the fight with all of the oooohing and aahing they will be doing when ZAg hits him.

Kessler should unleash a herd of sheep through the crowd to distract em - much like when the cattle get loose in Zulu.

Zag doesn't even hit his opponents these days, he's into performance art - didn't you see the Manfredo fight? Three light slaps and it's over.

So while I concede your point, it's still total BS that every time a Fat Yank talks about a fight happening outside America on here it's ALWAYS "yo, dose judge's will robb are guy unles he ko's him."

Whatever. Dont be so negative man. I dont really care about the outcome. I'm just hoping for an exciting sake. And for my prides worth - Zag should win.

Not another look what happened to Lacy ,, you will see Kessler is no Lacy .

A hometown decision is worldwide and can happen in this fight so dont try and play the devils advocate and blow it off with bull**** , I thought the same thing when Kessler fought Mundine here in Aus , if its close I thought Kessler would get duded but it never happened , so Im hoping we dont get any funny business in Joes backyard but it wouldnt be a first so fingers crossed its a fair fight .
