    Yeah. In Germany the home fighter wins the round.

    Boxing matches are scored on clean punching, defense, ring generalship, and effective aggression.

    I would assume in a country like Mexico aggression and clean punching would put you in a favorable position with the judges.

    Was just a joke mate. Could have said any country.

    Truth is its not the country that 'influences' a fight, it's the promoter. The promoters just tend to be promoting the home fighter. Robberies happen everywhere.

    American judges are always blatantly biased towards their fighters.

    I could be wrong but I think Italy scores on a 20 point must system

    Yet your idol Haye "won" a title there by judges decision. Meanwhile in the U.K. the hometown fighter Anthony Joshua gets gifted a gold medal
