Will the judges and referee in Las Vegas be fair to Calzaghe?

[apollo creed]

Wes, your the biggest Joe hater in the world, that much is official!

After your bold predictions at another forum regarding how Kessler would KO Joe within four rounds you never came back there, you were laughed out the ****in place man with your tail tucked firmly between your ****in legs.

****in dumbass hater!

Another example of the crooked judges was Lennox Lewis vs. Evander Holyfield I, where not only did Lewis deserve to win, he dominated the fight - yet came out with a draw.

This happened in New York not Las Vegas, but is a perfect example of what can happen to British fighters when they come over here.

The most shameful part of that decision, was the UK judge scoring it a draw, I remember him copping serious flack from all the press over here. A prime example of how to destroy the reputation you have built up overnight

Calzaghe will dominate the slower Hopkins and will win this fight going away. That being said I'd bet the farm that the judges will have this fight scored much closer than it actually will be

Hatton won a close, some call controversial decision in his first fight on U.S. soil. I dont think it's a problem.

not that i dont think joe will win... but if you guys really think it will be a DOMINATION like the patriots vs the dolphins... i think u guys are in for a reality check... joe is movin up in weight... and hopkins is one of the most skilled fighters of the last 20 years.... i hope hopkins loses too... but i dont think its gonna be the blowout everyone thinks... my $.02

I have concerns about Joe fighting in las Vegas.

Remember what Cortez did to Hatton?

Remember what the judges did to JL Castillo in Mayweather vs. Castillo I?

Something strange happened to Wlad in Las Vegas when he fought Brewster - was he drugged? He appeared to be.

Felix Sturm was robbed by the judges when he fought DLH in Vegas.

Kali Meehan was robbed by the judges when he fought Brewster there.

Can Joe expect fair treatment from the referee and judges in Las Vegas?

You mean will they BABYSIT him like they do in Whales??

I hope not

Old Joe has more to worry about than the refs..he better worry about that soft belly of his..

Before the Mayweather-Hatton fight, all the talk in the US was about Hattons dirty tactics.

They implored the referee to not allow Hatton to get away with holding, low blows, whatever.

Now in the actual fight, Cortez allowed Mayweather to actually use his elbows.

Now for this next fight, Hopkins is perceived as the dirty fighter, and you are saying that the referee will not 'babysit' Calzaghe in Vegas.

Can you see the hypocracy at work here.

Boxing matches should be conducted under the Queensbury Rules, and not degrade into one fighter resorting to elbows, low blows or any other crap to win a fight he otherwise would not win.

The amount of intentional headbutts that Hopkins got away with against Wright 6 months ago is outright criminal, not to mention the holding and rabbit punching. Anyone that thinks this will be an easy fight for Joe is sadly mistaken. Wright would have won that fight hands down if the appropriate points had been taken away.
