Legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum has a message for Sergey Kovalev … stop complaining about American judges, saying officials from the USA are just fine for Kovalev’s rematch with Andre Ward.
Sergey’s team has asked for “neutral” judges in the June fight … meaning neither from America nor Russia … with the implication being Andre got some home cooking in their first fight.
We got Arum out in L.A. and asked about the request … and he thinks it’s a bunch of hogwash, and actually seems a little miffed at the thought judges from ‘Murica weren’t on the level.
