There was some drama earlier this week as super middleweight Arthur Abraham and his promoters, Sauerland Event, were upset over the selection of the officials for Saturday's fight with Andre Dirrell at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan. The Abraham side was upset over the possible selection of hometown judges, and a hometown referee, for the Dirrell fight.  

The two sides have reached an agreement on the officials. The referee for the fight will be Laurence Cole of the United States. The judges will be Anek Hongtongkam of Thailand, Guido Cavalleri of Italy and Frank Garza of the United States, boxingscene.com reported.
