Comments Thread For: Ruiz-Joshua Rematch Will Have Neutral Judges, Referee

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK Neutral officials are among the things Andy Ruiz Jr. has been guaranteed for his rematch against Anthony Joshua. Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, informed a group of reporters Thursday that the sanctioning bodies involved in their IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight championship rematch will be responsible for choosing a balanced panel of judges. The referee who, contractually, cannot hail from the United Kingdom or the United States will be assigned by the Saudi Arabia Boxing Commission.

What???

WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP!!!

they should have judges that are eather on Andy ruiz side OR judges that are on Anthony Joshuas side!! but they should NOT have neutral judges!!

they need to pick judges that will favor only one of the fighters!!

It would be news if we knew ahead of time that the judges or ref were not going to be neutral. Ideally all judges and refs are neutral, it isn't until after that you find out if they really were.

The country they hail from has not a thing to do with it, everybody likes money.

The ref from the first fight as fine, should be him again. Hope we don't get another joke ref like that terrible Italian in the lame Parker fight.

AN the Canadian had AJ up by one point!!!! Wtf.. AJ didn't even win a single round! Dropped four times but was only down by one point!!! Shame on these judges! *** that.. All three judges should be fired!

Saudi Arabia boxing commission?

Some of these guys are dumb, they should let an American actually referee the fight or a British ref. That is pressure enough for that referee to call the fight straight. With the whole world watching, no referee is going to be unfocus or favour either. They both miss a trick there.

Wayst of money on judges, they just need a referee that can count to 10
