    And the fight had been held in the UK- Would Fury still have got the decision?

    Same with Haye vs Valuev if the nationalities and location were reversed?

    perez got a lucky draw against crolla, thought Mitchell vs linares was scored fairly as was burns vs Crawford, the beltran vs burns was an obvious robbery but in the main I think the dodgy judging world wide is improving to some degree.

    degale has twice has two closish fights away from home and got the decision, both correct imo, but in years gone by I think he may have lost these.

    I think, (or hope) the scoring would be the same since the judges were foreigners anyway

    Germany is worse when it comes to hometown decisions.

    Its just that, Britain has more world class fighters so it SEEMS like we are worse, when we're actually not.

    1) Germany, for the most part, cleaned up its act regarding judging years ago - Abraham fights a possible exception. Most countries are probably worse than German now, including the UK.

    2) Your explanation doesn't make an iota of sense.

    Fury won by a distance, the judges knew they couldn't score that any other way, it was clear.
