    No top American fighter will ever come here ever again.

    Britain, home of the hometown decision, the premature stoppage and the 9 second count outs.

    Look at the Burns fight

    That would happen if Ward fought Froch in England

    i bet if the the same fight (super 6 final) was replayed in front of the judges in britain they would have UD for Froch....118-110...

    Watch Friday night fights these dubious decisions happen every week in the states,Argenis Mendez boxed the ears off Arash Usmani a couple of weeks ago and only came out with a draw and that was wider than the Burns Beltran fight.The Americans have some nerve to talk about British boxing when they are so corrupt themselves.

    In America I have seen really bad decisions over the years. SOB Ward will not fight out of his home town with his personal referee and judges period. Why was it that SOB was the only boxer who did not have to travel in the tournament? Remember, SOB Ward beat Kessler with an illegal head butt that came from across the ring, intentional head butt too, but Ward's referee OK'd it!

    I totally agree with this.
    I watch FNF almost every week and it's robbery central over there. They even discuss the seriousness of the matter openly over there.
    And it isn't an issue of the last couple of years either. Boxing history would have been very much different if judges were fair.

    I guess you have to be a outsider like me to really see that it happens all around.
    Americans point at Germany and Britain, Brits point at the US and Germany, and the Gemans again to the US and UK.
    Only a couple of the fans are admitting it happens everywhere and the bigger the country in boxing, the worse it gets.

    The Ward thing is a moot point because he gets away with murder in his hometown. Just look at the Ward vs Green fight and tell me with a straight face he would have gotten away with that everywhere else in the world. I don't like Green, but tje poor guy got a warning for trying to break free out of Ward's holding for crying out loud!r
