    IMHO bottom line is that you shouldn't have a "world" or Euro title fight with all the officials all from one of the fighters home country. Even if theres nothing suss going on, its just asking for trouble.

    Then at least then Frank would have to pay a bit extra to bribe the "other" judge!!;)

    But that tended to be the compromise years ago, either 3 neutral or 1 from each country and 1 neutral. Common sense IMHO.

    They don't fix 12x3's in Liverpool.

    Far more money to be made in Barrow on Furness.

    Correct. Dave Parris wouldn't leave his villa in the Algarve to fix this one.

    It really is asking for trouble, especially if it is is a close fight and the decision goes to Cook....look at the furore after the Cook - Arthur scrap

    Yeah it looks dodgy when it happens. In the Khan V McCloskey fight, there were all english judges too, not that I'd have scored it differently than they did. It just looked a little odd, especially as there were international judges in some of the preliminary fights.

    I was the same with Cook-AA. I thought Cook won clearly but if it was a closer fight the 3 English judges could have been a big problem.

    Let's be ****ing honest here; Parris, Edwards and O'Connorr shouldn't be judging any fights as they are all incompetent ****wits, British boxing needs to get rid of the dinosaurs.
