    after the recent bad decisions and now giving joe a split decision win (i had joe winning 9 rounds), is it now official that americans have the worst and most biased judges in the world?

    Florida and Michigan are bad, but Germany and Japan are beyond the worst judging you can imagine.

    I agree it looks like that GBP allways try to buy atleast one judge. Oh and it has nothing to do with America.
    I think it was clear who won that fight, and still one judge gave it to Hopkins, reminds me of Oscar vs Mayweather scorecards.

    Yeah, there are loads of countries where the foreign opponent can get a decision.

    US on a par with Britain. I.e. difficult but not impossible for the underdog.

    GB fighters have always been at the wrong end of a decision. WTF is the point of buying one judge? Please. Is it not hard to fathom that one judge had it for Hopkins as did a number of press rows scoring the fight for Hopkins, and also a number of fans as well? It was definitely a close fight.

    He outworked Hopkins down the stretch, that much was clear, but please don't quote compubox stats. They're so far off it's not even funny.
