    As a foreign fighter, is it harder to win in Germany or US?

    Germany against a German and it's not even close.

    Neither. Robberies can happen anywhere. If a fighter is a bigger draw or has network backing, they are more likely to get the decision. I don't even ****ing know why Alexander is still on HBO. He should be fighting on Friday Night Fights. The fact that he was a unified champ shows how worthless the belts are these days.

    the alexander fight wasnt a robbery i thought mattysse won but it was razor thin foing into the last few

    but i agree german judging isnt any worse than anywhere else its just that we over report the bad judging there

    its like a foregone conclusion any time it goes 12 in germany and the home guy wins its like oh musta been a robbery right

    I have yet to see someone get yelled at for punching a guy in the head by the ref and having a point deducted for it in the United States.

    Germany, Ottke makes Alexander look like Joe Louis.

    It's easier to successfully hide in an attic in Germany than it is to win a fight.

    All depends if you're a German (or Ukrainian) or a foreigner fighting in Germany.

    They're both pretty awful. Though many Americans on here are blinkered and too ignorant to see it (only take offence if you're one of them).

    But I'm going to say Germany in general, but America if you're fighting a HBO fighter under certain promoters.

    If I was fighter I will never fight outside the U.S. only if the money is right. Germany and surprisingly Argentina are known for giving their fighters the benefit of doubt.

    Bad decisions happen once in a while in US, but, they go both ways, see Hopkins vs Calslappy...

    It's a f'ing guarantee in germany...
