Tbh there are robberies all over, but to be fair just have the fight in USA ! Germany ofcourse we know, the disgrace of holyfield valuev comes to mind ! UK - froch win over dirrell was a loss for froch for sure Canada is another country poppin up now and rightly so because it was a travesty not to give bhop the win USA have their fair share of robberies aswell but most of the time is very fairly judged
Yeah i see what you mean, but when you deal with the percentage of robberies compared to the number of fights, the US is slightly less than other countries
It's mostly the bigger fights in the US where the "visitor" gets the short straw. Martinez (twice in a row), Alexander-Kotelnik, Matthyse-Judah... And just look what was happening to Ward-Bika 120-108!!!!/118-110(2x), even if Bika would have won the last 5 rounds big he still wouldn't have returned home with the win! It's just as bad, and if you're an outsider and not linked to any of the countries you see what's really happening.
With 2 American judges... The worst card was Pasquale's one. 116-112. He's American. I was at the fight and couldn't believe my ears when they announced the scores. But come on, Funeka and Guzman are not from Canada, why would the promoters have cheated on that?
And in the Hopkins-Pascal fight, there was only one Canadian judge. You can talk of the influence of the crowd, but not of the judges being local. Pascal can say what he wants about how the judges are supposed to score, it's none of his business. He's lucky to have scored 2 KD's, if not he would have lost on all cards. I don't call that a robbery.
I really think it has less to do with the USA per se in some of those and the agenda of these ***boys: This content is protected
that andrade bute fight will never be forgotten to alot of fans. to alot of people *who arent biased) Bute shouldnt be undefeated.
