    Abraham-Dirrell: ALL 3 JUDGES AND REFEREE will be from MICHIGAN

    fight news com/?p=40555






    "The Arthur Abraham camp is up in arms over the notion of three Michigan judges scoring King Arthur’s SUPER SIX fight against Andre Dirrell. Hall of Fame promoter Wilfried Sauerland told BILD, “Dirrell lives in Michigan. It’s unacceptable that the judges and the referee should also come from Michigan. I reject that.” Abraham trainer Uli Wegner stated that Abraham must win by KO to take it out of the hands of the judges."

              That sucks for Abraham also Michigan has a pretty weak commision so I could easily see something being fishy. Hopefully the man that should be the winner will be the winner.

              That is pretty sound advice from Wegner though but it gets back to the point I made when first thinking about this fight, going in there to take out a fighter like Dirrell is often a terrible mistake so even if the judges are not a factor in the scoring it is already a factor in how the fight will play out.

              That said King Arthur was probabaly going to fight the same way anyways and I am sure he wants the knock out.

                      actually it looks more like Dirrell's going to bed early on Saturday.

                              I'm a Michigander, I'm rooting for Dirrell and I'm going to the fight and I still think this is bull****. I dont want Andre to win because of bad officiating. If some shady crap goes down I wonder if people will start throwing drinks like they did at Golota

                                  Only person raising dirrell's hand is the ER doctor trying to put the blood pressure cuff around his arm as he lays in a hospital bed unconscious three hours after AA ko's him and heads back home...and I'm rooting for dirrell...

                                      this gives abraham more motivation to go for the knockout so it's kinda good news...
