From Kevin Iole's column New Jersey suspends Williams-Lara judges
He writes, "Williams’ promoter, Dan Goossen, did not seem particularly bothered by Smith’s decision to suspend the judges, though he has a vested interest in toeing the line. Andre Ward, whom Goossen promotes, will meet Carl Froch in the finals of Showtime’s Super 6 tournament on Oct. 29 in Atlantic City."
I'm from NJ but I think they need to move this fight to a different location like Las Vegas or Canada. Ward-Froch is a big fight that deserves fair judging and neutrality. I know that boxing has a long history of bad judging. However, until a full investigation is held concerning all stakeholders in the Williams-Lara fight, NJ shouldn't host a fight for a while, especially when the promoter of the beneficiary of the decision is involved. Any thoughts?
