Kessler-Ward in jeopardy?

[Freddy Krueger]

What the ****, get new judges then. If the fights not on now because of this **** then I hope someone gets sued or something... This is ridiculous

[Glamour Puss]

Ward will win IMO.

Kessler has to knock him out to win.

The deck is stacked badly in this one.

[TRAVI$]

There's no way Ward's camp can explain having all local officials, get them to change it... the blames on them if the fights called off.

[The Hammer]

he shouldn't fight under these conditions. and he won't.

He should pull out - after all, he's the champion and it's a voluntary title defense.

[Zarco]

Andre Ward has been unreasonable from the beginning. He demanded all his fights be in Oakland, and now they choose a local referee and judges.

And Kessler's the WBA champ, not Ward.

that is because he does not want to get robbed.

count up all the robberys and...

robberys in europe>robberys in the US.

Exactly. I really hope Ward get knocked cold. Dirrell and Taylor are cool cats but Ward is a ***** for this.

Kessler by career ending KO.

huh? ward is ***** for wanting to bring his home town some big fights? kesslers team wanted that because wards draws over there. ward does not choose any thing else.

[No Ceiling]

ward will out-hug him

[Hayehammer]

He should pull out - after all, he's the champion and it's a voluntary title defense.

I feel the same but damn i wanna see this fight now

[The Hammer]

There's been more in the USA. A few examples:

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

and many more.

What are the tournament rules if a title holder pulls out?
Will Kessler be booted out?

[Derranged_]

I would be very surprised if this fight got canceled. All parties involved in this, have too much to lose to call it off. If this fight doesn't happen, it f.ucks up the whole SMW tourney...
