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

[Dynamite Kid]

I ain't no Calzaghe fan....stems from way back when he beat Eubank....

Anyway, everyone from across the pond criticises him for not going to America. I think thats a sickening arguement when none of the world champions from America ever fight abroad. Double standards.

there is more reason to avoid fighting in America against an American than any other country maybe Germany is as bad or worse

A world champion should fight the world over....not just in his home country.

That goes for calzaghe, Mayweather and any other champion you or anybody else cares to mention.

My take is different. Why shouldn't the champ defend wherever he wants? Make the challengers come to him to get the belt. I don't have a problem with it. On the other hand, I do have a problem with cherry picking opponents to avoid the really tough fights. I'm not convinced that Cal is guilty of this in the sense that I haven't seen any evidence that constitutes a pattern.

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 .

the fight could have gone to palle if he could raise the 5 million dollars to pay cal...

I would say the judging in Las Vegas is less biased then judging in Great Britian.
And oftentimes in Vegas there are 2 United States fighters involved, so its just poor judging, not biased judging.

bull ****. what fights in the uk have you seen that are very wrong?

name me 3 please.

Ill have to disagree with that. America is so big and culturally different, that each state can be completely different from another, so if a guy from Oregon is fighting in Florida, hes not going to be an overwhelming favorite with the crowd or the judges. Im sure that its the same with Britain...if a fighter Scotland were to fight in Wales, Im sure it would be the same way.

BUT...since this fight is happening like directly Calzaghe's backyard, its going to be a factor. Im not saying that theyre gonna rob Kessler or anything, but the crowd does sway the judges a bit, and I think we know who the crowd is going to be cheering for.

I dont believe there will be any funny business with the judges, and I hope that Im right. Im pretty sure Calzaghe is going to deserve to win anyway...but the fact of the matter is, robberies happen, and when one fighter is fighting in his backyard, its sadly just something you have to think about it. and its not like America screws over every British fighter that fights here either, they gave Hatton the nod in a close fight that could have gone either way.
just depends on the circumstances

[feed-the-goat]

Oh:

Me - 62% Irish, 25% English, rest Scottish. 0% Welsh or Italian.

Kessler - 50% English.

Calzaghe - 0% English, Scottish or Irish.


But I'm "biased"? STFU.

your 100% mancunian I hope

Boxing in general has always had it's 'hometown' decisions.
To call one country more crooked then others is ignorant,especially when bad scoring is as much a part of boxing as a left hook.

As for your fat yank this,fat yank that...I will only say,you may eat **** and die.
Now step away from the keypad and kill yourself...have a nice day.
