Comments Thread For: Arum Seeking Better Judging for Burns vs. Crawford

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The last time Ricky Burns fought, he escaped with a controversial split draw against Raymundo Beltran, retaining his lightweight world title in the process.

Burns will again fight in his native Scotland for his upcoming defense March 1 against mandatory challenger Terence Crawford. Crawford’s promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, said he’s taken preemptive measures in an attempt to make sure the judges don’t unfairly favor the local favorite.

crawford need to go for the KO

[Russian Crushin]

Promoters should have nothing to do with judging, that should be completely up to the commission

Completely agree. I think promoters should even be fined for saying this kind of crap in the run up to a fight.

Guess the first set of judges wanted too much money from ole Rob Arum....

[The Gambler1981]

Preemptive measures?

Good to know Bob is spreading the wealth around already for his guy Crawford~

[lets rumble]

why didn't he seek better judges on the fights between marquez and pacman ,
where MARQUEZ got blatantly ROBBED

[ShoulderRoll]

He just wants Crawford to get a fair shake. Ricky Burns never fights outside of the UK.

Am I the only one who kind of laughed when I saw this? Arum "looking" for better judges.
I saw it like an employment advertisement:

"Help wanted! Great benefits and competitive pay"
