British "Home Cooking"

i dont buy it either
i think it has more to do with US - british rivalry on the board

 

Well said.

I've decided to refrain from the last few Froch threads for this very reason.I'm all for discussion and debate and i don't mind a bit of banter and **** taking, but it seems there are some members who are determined to turn it into a UK vs US argument.

 

There have been more robberies in the U.S than in the U.K.

 

Only because there's more fights that take place.

 

The US is clearly worse as the UK. In fact it's on or even beyond Germany level.
FNF had a robbery on the cards almost every week in the past 2 years so it's not a % thing either.

But to be fair, the recent Hall robbery and Parris' score in the McDonnell fight did feed the discussion.

 

America is just as bad, if not worse than most other countries for this. the only differemce is Rather than the 'home' fighter getting decisions they shouldn't as they do in lots of countries, in America the robberies go in the favour of the promoter's choice/preferred fighter based on how they want to build their career/their future earning potential.

 

In your example, the guys who got robbed were Americans lol...Cunningham got robbed in his own backyard :rofl atsch

 

:deal

 

There are bad decisions everywhere, every now and then.

Britain is no worse than the US in this regard.

America gave us the three worst decisions I've seen in recent years.


In chronological order:

Lewis-Holfield 1
Oscar-Tito
Pac-Bradley

 

In the UK, they will literally just rob a foreign guy lol. That Dirrell decision and refereeing were a complete disgrace.

 

Maccarinelli - McPhilbin

That **** was too funny.

 

Purdy was just supposed to be a keep busy fight for Jones so the Brook rematch could be set up. Purdy definitely won that fight, IMO too.
