Will the officials in Oakland be fair to Kessler?

[The Hammer]

I wonder who the referee and judges will be for the Kessler-Ward fight this weekend?

Will the American referee permit Andre Ward to hold as much as he wants, like he did against Edison Miranda?

Will the judges be influenced by the crowd's cheering for Ward, and score all the closer rounds for him? Will the American judges allow their feelings of nationalism affect them?

There's been many bad decisions favoring an American or American-based fighter over a foreign boxer:

Meehan-Brewster
Shultz-Foreman
Botha-Briggs
Sturm-De La Hoya
Santa Cruz-Casamayor
Martinez-Cintron
John-Juarez I

and many more.

Why would you get shot? Are you rooting for Kessler and going to be cheering his name? If so, then you might get shot. I think Ward wins a fair decision though, but will see...

I have a bad feeling that there will be a robbery in Oakland on Saturday, with Kessler winning most of the rounds and Ward winning a close decision on the cards.

Kessler just needs two judges, his left and his right.

The judges weren't from Nottingham.

Oakland's a hellhole. You turn on the news,and all you hear about is people getting shot and killed in Oakland.
I'll be rooting for Ward.
I'm a fan.Been following him since he was in the olympics and when he was still fighting on FSN.
He's a local hero here in the Bay Area.
