    Comments Thread For: Ward vs Abraham is in Jeopardy of Being Called Off

    The Super Six World Boxing Classic semi-final clash between WBA Super-Middleweight Champion Andre Ward and former tournament point leader King Arthur Abraham will be called off – if the Californian Boxing Commission refuses to honour an existing agreement over neutral officials.

    Abraham is right not to want a biased referee.Why do Americans always want to officiate everything.It's not like Abraham has any chance apart from a punchers chance but he has to be treated fairly

      Although this is more than a bit rich coming from a Sauerland, he does have a point regarding the Californian Commission, which has been called into question a few times recently.

      At any rate, hopefully this can be sorted quickly, as it'd be a real shame for another Super Six fight to fall through.

        i am american and i agree, the ref should be neutral and so should the judges

        because ward will box this one dimensinal fighters ears right off either way..

        AA is more than limited, it would be a shame if Ward doesnt expose him more

        than dirrel and a very limited in himself froch already has

          Adds more fuel to the growing notion that Ward is being protected.

            this is why you don't let people cal shots in a tourny. Bad enough Ward had all his fghts at home. The Super 6 people shouldve had all this **** inline before the toury started. Every fight shouldv had th same rules. Thy will know next time.

                This is disgraceful. Of course there should be neutral officials and everybody in the industry knows that Sauerland wont send in another fighter with hometown officials.

                Since there already has been an agreement (according to Sauerland), why is this even an issue???

                  Sounds like someone trying to grab a advantage imo..

                    Unfair for Abraham, he has every right to demand neutral officials and judges. It's also ridiculous that Ward is allowd to have every fight in his own backyard. Having said that i don't think it will change the result of the fight.
