The British promoter Eddie Hearm you have doubts about the equality that your ward will have with the judges Billy Joe Saunders when he faces Saúl «Canelo» Álvarez on May 8 and therefore requires that at least one of the three judges be British.
Heard in statements to Boxingscene claimed.
“I think we need a neutral panel.” “I think we need a British judge there. I think we need an American judge there. But I do not know. Look, the UK judges haven’t been great lately. And then we saw another bad scorecard in New Zealand so it’s happening everywhere. “
“And also, when [Álvarez es] the biggest star out there, sometimes you get in doubt with the noise of the crowds nearby. Then we will see. It’ll probably be Las Vegas or Dallas, and we’ll decide that in the next week, maybe two weeks at most. “
There are many options for the match to be decided by the scores and the choice of judges can be decisive. In the event that the fight is played out in Las Vegas and the judges are American, it is obvious that Saunders will have a hard time winning on points, as happened to Golovkin in his two fights with Canelo.

Hearn again insisted they would seek a British judge.
“We are going to push for a British judge,” “It must be so because he is champion against champion. It’s not fair, you know, Canelo Alvarez. He’s a world champion fighting a world champion. So that’s something we’re going to insist on, ”Hearn said.
