Neither of these guys are quick enough to put Ward on the canvas, I don't think. Maybe Abraham who is fairly explosive, but I doubt it.

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.

That suxx, why would the Cali commission do that ?

I can understand if this was initially an oversight, but once the issue was highlighted by Sauerland it should have been sorted.

Aside from being fair, the choice of officials was already agreed upon.

The Super-6 doesn't need rubbish like this heading into the finals.

Ward doesn't need the " help ", and he doesn't need this hanging over him.

Pull your head in Cali commission, lets get it on

What. The. F***.

California should honor the agreement- even if there was no precedent or agreement officially in the contract, i don't see why they wouldn't encourage a neutral ref - get one from south america, asia, or australia. this is going to be a huge disappointment if this fight doesn't go down - time to get to the final of this tournament and finish history.

lol you updated your triangle theory - nice.

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

Maybe, but I doubt even German judges could sell a AA decision in that fight.

Ward by a landslide, or Abe get's " lucky ".

Only the ref will be a factor in that fight.

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???

co-sign...

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.

It is unlikely to have any real bearing on the fight at all, so I think that the "protected" allegations could be a little knee-jerk, let's wait and see, this should get sorted.

Hey but the judges are from Carson, not Oakland which makes them nuetral or even favour Abraham

At least thats what some fat yanks on here told me....
