    I was talking about fights like Kessler/Ward, and Floyd/Hatton. Where one fighter was clearly superior, but certain people still blamed the ref.
    oh I see, my fault.
    Im a big Kessler fan of course , but i think even if the ref wasnt a clown and these headbutts didnt land, Kessler would hav still lost to him.

      Agree.

      I'm a pretty big AA fan myself. There's nothing to not like about the guy imo. I just wanted some e-action on this fight, and I think if Dirrell can keep from getting caught, his style presents serious match up problems for AA.

        Arthur's a true champ & believes he'll KO Dirrell anyway so he shouldn't & hopefully won't pull out. On the other hand this is very ****ed up, something should be done to fix this, it's not too late. No way 3 judges from Michigan should be judging that fight. Although it wouldn't sadden me a bit to see a German or German bsed fighter anyway get ****ed on a decision here in the states afterall Germany is the worst place on the planet for scoring corruption. However that being said I'd hate to see it happen to King Arthur who certainly doesn't deserve that or during this great tourney!

        On a side note....No matter who the judges are I see Dirrell winning this fight by UD cleanly without dispute.....

          While I agree with the hometown ref and judges, I would wouldn't want to see this fight canceled.

            Boxing knowledge? You're being a bit generous there.

              dirrell will outwork and outbox him
              thats the way I see it... AA has to get another KO if he wants to win but Dirrell will use his foot work to prevent that from happening

                If Dirrell was fighting Abraham in Germany, and all three judges and the ref were from the same province where Arthur lives in Germany, what would the Americans be saying?

                Especially since the Super Six contract clearly states the judges and ref should be from a neutral country?

                They would ***** and cry and whine so loud it would be heard around the world!

                  I agree, they should follow the contract... Because if Dirrell wins I dont want any doubt in peoples mind that it was due to the judging

                      what about Tszyu Hatton. Ref didn't matter?
