Doesnt the IBF choose its own officials/judges for their title matches..
Promoters - Managers etc have nothing to do with referee and judge selection in IBF bouts.Comment

Good. I'd reject the fight in all instances if their was more than one British judge and I wouldn't fight at all if the refereee was a Brit.Comment

I think the BBBofC mandates that there must be a British ref and at least one British judge on British soil. Warren was complaining about it the other day in his article about the dodgy scorecard for McDonnell vs VargasComment

Good fight..
I'm kinda shocked that gervonta is going to the U.K.. but I guess that's an indication of how poorly the American boxing market is and how popular it has become in the UKComment

They need to showcase this kid in Baltimore. He's only fought there once in his whole career. Would love to see a US promoter take a guy like this and create a huge buzz in his home city. That's why the UK scene is buzzing the way it is. There are a lot of things you could say about Hearn, but he understands the importance of a passionate crowd at a fight. It makes the TV product alone so much better.Comment

Yeah i thought the bbofC has some rule about it being a british ref and one judge but the IBF selects at random who the ref and judge is i think. either way, all ranked IBF fighters from around the world seem happy with their impartiality.Comment
