They're all good

Um, Freedom, Kathy has a message for you, "...we're very happy with the way things turned out,"

I also don't have a problem with the ref or the officials, but they still should have picked a more varied bunch. When the fighters are of different nationalities, it's only sensible to pick as neutral officials as you can - especially for a fight of this magnitude, and with Russia vs. America connotations.

The better fighter will win. Doesnt matter if Jesus Christ himself was fighting and the judged were all popes, the better fighter will win. Hopefully people dont act like ******* and say Ward won because of the refs, if he does win.

It doesn't matter. Ward is still going to win.

Would have preferred the Klitschko Jennings ref Griffins here myself. Hopefully the referee don't take no shyt though, I'll personally be most upset if Ward is allowed to repeatedly foul, goes for Kovalev too.

Judges and ref were approved by Duva.
