Does Bute have to win by KO/TKO in England?

England isn't Germany or Canada, next.

 

Say this to Andre Dirrell!

 

Interbox wouldn't have touched this fight with a barge pole if they though there was the remotest chance of this happening.

 

it's worse than germany or canada

 

In Britain you need to worry about getting hit, because the 1st flush shot lands and the hometown referee jumps in to save your life.

 

**** Andre Dirrell

 

Andre Dirrell probably won maybe by 1 round. That makes it a close fight so not a robbery. Its like saying the Khan Peterson fight was a robbery. Its rare i come across clear robberies in UK. I'd say USA is worse for robberies than UK whilst in Germany it seems to be the norm. I don't know enough about Canadian boxing to comment on how fair their judges are

 

fixed that for ya! :good

I agree with your statement though... not as many robberies in the UK, just bad referees

 

Ridiculous poll again...(because of the options)


But it's easy to say that BUte will have to do more.

Like any visitors...

No matter what country.

 

Judges and ref will all be neutral, I'm sure Interbox have taken some precautions.

 

personly i would have loved more if this fight was in canada, from the impression i have gotten, the judging in canada isent that bad

 

Almost every country has given bad decisions, i wouldn't say the UK was any different to anywhere else. Glen Johnson fought Clinton Woods three times in the UK, he lost one, won one and drew one. We all hate bad decisions, but it's being noticed more and more and hopefully the Froch / Bute matchup is a good fight for the fans and that we get a good result.

 

You should have an option saying "Doesn't matter,judges won't be needed or able to save him anyway"

 

He'll loose any close decision (probably) for the same reason any visiting fighter would. Namely the crowd goes ape **** when the the home fighter lands a glancing blow but is silent as the grave when the visiting fighter lands a flush shot.
That can happen anywhere.
British ref's rarely give a visiting fighter the benefit of the doubt if they get dropped or hurt but if its a neutral ref I cant see a problem in that area.
America seems to be the problem area as far as bad decisions go at the moment. Worse than Germany or the UK.

Anyway, I fully expect Bute to win by late rounds stoppage to make this issue moot.
