Comments Thread For: Hearn: We're Looking To Get British Ref For Joshua-Povetkin

[stellen]

Why is everyone wetting their panties? its not like the judges will all be brits is it. That only happens in america. A yank ref and 3 yank judges for their fighters stateside. Outrageous.

Povetkin couldn't win with 4 arms .

Wilder has appointed refs that LET him rabbit punch and FIXED scoring if need be , along with apparent overly concerned officials that will extend a time out to make sure Wilder is O.K if he suffers hard shots ?

Im pretty sure we know who the protected one is . lol

Thanks for admitting that Joshua is a coward and that Povetkin is the biggest cherry pick out there. if you know he wouldn't be able to win with four arms then why support this rubbish fight?

jeez any ref would be better than that italian guy they had for the parker fight, useless doesnt even begin to describe him, or should i say a great ref he did exactly as he was told p

One of the biggest problems in boxing! The PROMOTER chooses judges, refs and officials.
If this isn't a conflict of interest, then i'm not here.

But it is and i am.

The BBBofC pick the ref and judges. It's illegal for the promoter to pick them in the UK, unlike in the US.

Klitschko fight was actually pretty good. Bout Parker fight was so boring..

When I saw Whyte -Parker I realised how boring Joshua is and that Joshua -Parker was boring because of him not because of Parker.

Parker actually stood his ground a lot against Whyte. Against Joshua he was constantly looking to move away and disengage. That's not Joshua's fault.

British ref...aka Get close to AJ and the fight will be separated. How long does AJ need to have a ref on his side?

What do you mean by separated?

[Sid-Knee]

You know it'll be Howard Foster brought in to ensure victory. Pedvetkin will have to score a KO to get a draw in this fight.

So it's the refs AND the judges? Care to give me the robberies that we've had over here? Or are you just talking crap like all the other poisonous idiots?

[Sid-Knee]

lol pretty much the same applies to AJ.

AJ called his own time out against Parker and the ref didn't do anything.

The hand-wraps had come undone. Why wouldn't he go back to the corner to get it sorted?

Anyway, as soon as Joshua held his glove up, the ref turned to send Parker to his corner so Joshua could get it sorted anyway.

People calling this some kind of corrupt action certainly has a clear bias. People are making something out of nothing. Just sad really.

Hearn is a clown! Come on, everybody know the Brit referees are really sucks and bad for boxing... Premature stoppages are their tea cups

About half of AJ's stoppages have literally been the ref jumping in when he lands a flurry, or even misses them in the case of Takam.


Anyway we all know whats gonna happen in this fight. As soon as Povetkin gets inside, it'll get broken up.

Eddie Hearn has adopted the Don King blueprint I see.

"ONLY IN THE U.K."

How many British refs do you think Joshua has? It's not many. Now look how many American refs American fighters have. See the difference?
