    Any word on who the officials will be for Jones vs. Calzaghe?

    Only two days to go now, until the big fight.

    Anybody hear who the referee and judges are going to be?

    When Jeff Lacy fought Joe in the UK, they had an American referee and an American boxing judge. It would be good to see some British officials working this fight, to make it fair. But will the officials will likely all be from the US?

        I'm more worried about the New York area boxing judges like Al Bennett, Eugenia Williams, and Julie Lederman.

        Al Bennett worked Malignaggi vs. Ngoudjo and had it 117-111, and Eugenia Williams worked Lewis vs. Holyfield I and had it 117 -111 for Holyfield. Ridiculous scores!

            I don't see the ref being an issue. These are two clean fighters.

            I'd assume there will be one British Judge an American Judge then a random wildcard.

              Calzaghe will get ****** up in this one.

              Roys got some pretty good defense/footwork handspeed.

              I would like to see Calzaghe put to sleep to the point he wants no rematch.

              He should have never said **** about American fighters...thats the curse.

              Lights out.

                  The officials should be announced not later than today.

                    hopefully we get some biased judges so if Roy loses every round they still rule it no worse than a draw
