3 american judges and an american ref.....

[daggum]

The British are not vilified in the American media and entertainment industry like the Russians are.

For instance, Rocky IV was anti-Russian propaganda.

Americans have been conditioned to root against Russians. You are a perfect example, you said you're rooting for Ward. The referee and judges probably feel the same way you do.

this movie was anti-british propaganda and set relations back decades

I must admit, you are correct. I also blame rocky.

This is why I don't like ggg.


But I actually do like kovalev

I just can't root for a Russian over an American, ever.

Sorry, Maybe I'm to patriotic

... home judgement is quite funny in the UK...

it is everywhere. ward-kessler comes to mind...like i said ward knows how powerful it can be having everything in your favor, hence why he refused to join the super six unless all his fights were in the usa.

[Nay_Sayer]

I'd like to say i was shocked by the choice of officials but this is boxing and nothing surprises me. How the **** can you have 4 officials who are the same nationality as one of the fighters? And how is this considered fair? In other international sports like football the ref cant be the same nationality as one of the teams, so how is this allowed in boxing? Especially considering kovalev is russian, and russia is definitely considered a sporting and political rival to america. I was under the impression that you werent allowed 3 judges of the same nationality let alone a ref of that nationality as well, for the big world title fights? Like for golovkin brook there was an italian and two canadian judges. Lets hope that theres no funny business going on in this fight

Cooking up the excuses I see. Just keep adding ingredients and let them simmer for 5 more days...

You're just normal..

You don't see Freedom rooting against a Russian..

Brits support theirs...so do mexicans and puerto ricans...and that's OK....it's only when it gets to Americans do you see resistance.

In that fight it was referee Jack Reiss who did the "job"...

... Reiss was also refereeing that wrestling match vs E-Rod.

[Larry the boss]

yet another excuse

[Nay_Sayer]

This is one instances out of a hundred others, your history is faded. How about TB vs Pacquiao? And many other fights where foreign fighters were robbed because of American Judges.

LMAO

Pacquiao was the house fighter in the first Bradley fight. That decision was NO robbery..

In the past five years, there have been numerous action movies with Russians as the villains.

always shocks me how naive people are on this site. in no other country in the world would ward have been able to get away what he did against bika, kessler and rodriguez. and if a round is close who is an american ref going to give it to, the russian or the american. pretty much every american on here is cheering on ward, and thats going to be the same for the judges isnt it. its a joke to have 4 out of 4 officials being america, no reason for it either. home cooking may well be served up on the 19th
