There should be no more home town fights in the supersix.

I agree with TS. Biggest problem so far, IMO, have been hometown referee's. They're so biased they ruin the fight.

Dirrell fights Froch in his hometown: Froch wins

Taylor fights AA in his hometown: AA wins

Kessler fights Ward in his hometown: Ward wins

AA fights Dirrell in his hometown: Dirrell wins

the hometown fighter will win the fight regardless of ko, stoppage, or dq the proof is in the pudding.

I say Kessler beats Froch for the same reasoning

I disagree. The crowd is a big part of the exitement of the tournament. But I would like some competent and neutral officiating.

Yeah, it's hard to sell fights in neutral territory.


Judges and refs should be selected based on merit and past fights like they do in the NFL playoffs.

This event is a big deal, not a one off show.

I am just amazed how many bad refs still get plum jobs working huge events.
I understand how Cole gets his (ie: he insures the casinos, etc) so his family has a lot of connections.

If fights can not be held in a neutral country which would be the best option, have the fights held in cities far from where the home country fighter is from. Also have a referee from the opponents country there, along with one or two judges from the non-home country fighter to even out the playing field. The super six is full of evenly matched fights, but incompetency is ruining it.

I agree.

The Showtime commentators are so biased in favor of the American fighters they turn a blind eye to the shady stuff from the home referees in the US.

You can't chance the hometown fights. Froch, Kessler, Ward, and AA do very well at home. They bring money. So you can't take them out of it. However, get a neutral ref and judges.
