    Michael Moorer defeated Axul Schultz via Split Decision in Germany.


    Back n forth fight and I think Moorer got his jaw or nose fractured, yet the judges weren't swayed by the loud stadium cheering for every punch Axel landed, while quiet for Moorer when he landed.

    Anselmo Moreno: an ultimate road warrior!

    Sidorenko, twice in Germany.
    Monshipour in France.
    Cermeno in Venezuela.
    ...plus another one or two, his losses to Shinsuke were both in Japan, American debut against Darchinyan who had fought the back half of his career mostly in the US, etc.

    Since American boxers wanted to dance and counter and clinch and haggle, America adopted Pac. Doesn't count.:eusa_dance:

    Good example anybody able to win in Germany deserves extra credit.
    I still remember Sam Soliman winning a decision over Sturm in Germany for IBF middleweight title and then having to deal with a so called failed drug test after

    Kovalev beat Andre Ward in his hometown, he was against Yank officials and Ward himself who is supported by the boxing establishment.

    The officials screwed Kovalev out of a victory obviously.

    Always said home advantage in boxing is one of the biggest advantages to have in any sports, because there's no clear and transparent scoring method.

    my example: Lennox beat Holyfield in his backyard on his 2nd try, while he actually did better in the first fight.

    Degale and Usyk got most of their best wins in this manner.

    One of these is a NC now, and rightly so.
