The super six and the american favourism pisses me off.

[bojangles1987]

Well the first two fights were on the Europeans' home turf, so there isn't favoritism at all for Amercans, and I don't have a problem at all with Kessler going to Oakland. It is messed up how the ref and the judges are hometown judges, Kessler better make sure he wins convincingly because the potential for a robbery is too high.

Lol i dont think a hometown ref and a couple of people cheering is going to save andre ward. The tournament is ludicrously skewed in favour of europeans in terms of fighters, they had to give themselves some kind of advantage

So because our fighters are favourites to win, we should be screwed every othre way possible? That's bull****. Have some sportsmanship

Your first complaint is a bit whiney. Denmark, has a total of about 5 million people. That's less than my home state of nj. The UK has 61.6 million. The fight is going to be made wherever the promoters feel is best. The last three are more legitimate, but if you're complaining about how late you have to stay up to watch a fight then you're not a fight fan.

Kessler draws 40,000 fans in Denmark,What will be the attendance in Cali on saturday?
The guys the champion and the huge draw yet the fight is in Cali

You've just lowered the quality/value of a Kessler win by calling Ward a bum.

They aren't trying to ensure that one American gets through to the next round. In the next round, all six will still be fighting. And if you meant the semi finals, basic logic and math will tell you that at least one American will move on.

Finally, I believe that at least two judges weren't suppose to be from the same country of the place they are fighting. There's an American, Swede, and South African judge now.

im guessing you didnt see the froch-dirrell fight then...

as far as the time of the fight, i have no problem with showtime putting it in the best american time slot, unless that means the start time at the fight venue is 3am like in the dirrell fight...

then again, they paid for the thing...and money talks, so whatever...not really my place to say...

wtf are you on about? the european fighters have a lot more to lose being that they are world champions and proven, the americans fighters are just lucky prospects with nothing to lose and everything to gain.

[Glamour Puss]

You make good points Champ....

I hope Kessler *******s his ass outta there tomorrow too.

Ward has a face that I can't stand. Kinda has the same ****** blank stare on his face that I hated Rocky Juarez for.

I hate to root a guy based on his facial appearance, but Ward's dunce like mug gives me no choice.

Kill him Kessler, you handsome Euro bastard.

:wank:
