Comments Thread For: Ward-Kovalev Rematch: NSAC Has Assigned Three American Judges

[CONTROVERSIAL]

what's the reasoning behind nevada not allowing international judges? They should really change this rule.

dirty russians should go fight in 3rd world russian if they dont like the rules.... Get ready for more excuses from the dirty russians about over training and gassing out overt the 6th like the first fight.... Russians are excuse making champions ...

[CONTROVERSIAL]

the russian never complained about fighting over here before.

he also never complained about gassing out after 5 rounds or overtraining lol... These type of excuses only come from the losing side....

[CONTROVERSIAL]

kovalev's team should raise the issue with the commission now instead of crying about it after the fight.

what issue? Botoxy duva approved the judges in the first fight and she also approved the judges this time... So what issue are you talking about? If dirty russians have issues about losing they need to go back to dirty russia

[BrometheusBob.]

Well you can't possibly complain about the ref at least

[Joe Beamish]

They all from Oakland too

That's exactly what I was saying! They can't cry about it after accepting the American judges.

Lol - definition of 3rd world is 'not aligned with the Soviet bloc or NATO bloc' (in the cold war days). TIL Russia wasn't aligned with the Soviet Bloc.

lol im not getting invested in this fight at all, absolutely laughable that theyve chosen 3 americans after what happened last time. how can 3 americans be objective in a fight between an american and a russian, well we saw the answer after the first fight actually... theyve proven that they will be bias.

the same way they were objective when the guy with the russian born father got the nod in NYC against the golden child

Kovalev's looking like he just found out all three judges are American and he's concerned.

Andre looks sleepy and ready to use his effective but sleep-inducing fighting style to make everyone else sleepy so they can feel what he feels

What's with the NSAC picking judges and refs who are over 70 for big fights?
Byrd was over 70 and returning from back surgery when he was picked to ref the first fight. hopefully Weeks will be an improvement.
Dave Moretti is another guy on the wrong side of 70. He gave Floyd 10 rounds vs Pac and that was 2 years ago so I doubt if his eyesight has improved since then.

Uhmm...most people gave Floyd about the same. It was a fairly easy fight to score. So that's pretty bad "supportive" evidence
