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

I dont think the officials would be any issue, We didnt see a Nigerian referee or official in germany for the Vitali/peter fight!!! And peter still got his behind handed to him

Watch Lennox Lewis vs. Evander Holyfield's first fight (in New York), and THEN tell me that who the officials are doesn't make any difference! Lennox won every round, but lost 117-111 on Eugenia Williams' scorecard.

If you think Sam Peter was cheated by the officials in Germany against Vitali, then you are an idiot. Vitali won every minute of every round, and Peter didn't want to continue after the 8th round.

What about Casamayor (New York based fighter although not born in the US) vs. Santa Cruz last year?

Al Bennett had Malignaggi defeating Ngoudjo 117-111 last January. Did you see that fight? We had polls here and on other websites, most people thought Ngoudjo won.

I didn't think he won but I thought the fight was alot closer then 117-111. But we arent officials and we don't get paid to socre fights. I guess an official bacame an official because they were a boxing fan first right? And any and every fan respects and enjoys seeing certain things in fights. Soem like and enjoy watch a guy move and use the ring to his advantage. make people miss. Some repspect a figher for using his jab and being active. Others score on aggresiveness and hard punches. I guess certain things float officials boats as well.

True, but some judges seem to favor fighters from the same area and/or country where they live, and some seem to be influenced by the home crowd's cheering.

Mate if you ever think that i was implying that sam peter (LOL) was cheated then god save you because you must be ******ed.

I said the referee wouldnt be an issue because all eyes would be on them and the referee wouldnt be able to save RJJ anyway, Read my post again before twisting thing to accomodate your blindness.

So??? thats bound to happen especially since RJJ is a big-name in the states but fighters cant go into a fight worrying about the referee and judges. Thats why i said peter didnt have a nigerian ref or judge in germany..

Joe doesnt need to have a british referee if he doesnt want to..
