Should there be neutral officials for Kovalev-Ward II?

[The Hammer]

The Kovalev team has requested neutral-country judges for Kovalev-Ward II.

The Ward team insists that all the judges are from the USA, like for the last fight.

What do you think?

Kovalev gets paid in U.S. dollars he needs to accept U.S. judges or go the fuck back to Russia where he has to sell his own tickets on the streets.

USA! USA! USA! USA!

I see no reason they shouldn't be neutral.

For anyone that actually reads threads...this OP is lying.

Ward has ZERO SAY over who officiates or refs his fights in Nevada. The NSAC makes the rules and in the state of Nevada they select their refs.

If Kovy or Ward weren't happy with that they should've demanded so in the contract and fought elsewhere.

OP just trying to flame SOG. Ward has nothing to do with refs or judges IN NEVADA

His team has refused to agree to neutral officials, as reported by boxingscene.

Team Ward also demanded home advantage for all his Super Six fights, while all the others (Froch, Kessler, Abraham, Taylor) had to fight in foreign countries.
