    Well I'm boring you because you simply have yet to answer any of the questions I've posted.And my arguments are pointless to you because you simply have no response:yep.You are actually entertaining me with your bias:lol::good.In 1966,England played ALL of their games at Wembley in the Cup.They were supposed to play Portugal in the ko stages in Goodison Park,but the English FA utilized their powers and pushed for the game to be held at Wembley,which it was.And YOU talk about home advantage in boxing:lol:.In that game Eusebio had AT LEAST 2 goals wrongfully called offsides and England went on to win by a goal.When England played Argentina,Argentinian Rattin was sent off due to the dirty look he gave the ref.England went on to beat shorthanded Argentina by a goal.The Argentinians still call that "El Robo del Siglo," the Robbery of the Century:lol:.Even though I'm not a fan of Argentina,whenever the English cry about the "Hand of God" goal,many Argentinians(as well as myself even though I'm not,and not even a fan of them)have a good chuckle.People think the Geoff Hurst questionable goal was the biggest controvery of that Cup.Not even close.People have short memories.The fix was in.

    It's called home advantage, that's what this thread is about.

    Except when the advantage is American, you don't notice it.

    Hatton's camp were perfectly fine with the choice of Cortez before the fight.Do the research.Or better yet,don't if you don't want to know the truth.And even though Cortez is a lousy ref,he makes Parriss look like Kenny Bayless whenever Parriss refs a fight with an Englishman in it.

    The thread is about home field advatage,not fixes.Perhaps you didn't(or refuse to) notice it.You simply didn't read my prior question,or you simply refuse to answer it.Is it ok in a big sporting event for the fix to be in?Simple question.All you have to do is type yes or no.Quite simple.

    So American referee's are sneaky? They only cheat when American's are fighting foreign boxers.

    It's home advantage. It happens when one fighter is at home and one isn't. It happens in America.

    Home advantage works in many ways. All of them to the home fighters advantage.

    Very rarely it means referees or judges making bad decisions.

    The main point is that fighters perform better in their own country. It's a proven huge advantage to be at home.

    Denying it is naive.

    It happens EVERYWHERE!!Including your beloved England.Cortez is a **** ref.Everyone knows it.But he's NOWHERE NEAR as bad as Parriss.And you English are in denial about that.Now,was the ref **** in Ward-Froch?And one more time,if Ward-Froch had been held in London or Manchester,would Froch have won?

    When Parriss refs a fight in England,he puts on a totally biased and incompetent performance in favor of the Englishman.ALWAYS.To deny it is naive.However there have been many instances where a fighter in America has to deal with a dynamic that may have a crowd root against him due to the ethnic makeup of the crowd of that city-case in point Duran-Moore.Davey was stopped by Duran in Davey's hometown of New York and the crowd was FERVENTLY behind Duran.To deny it is naive.

    That just proves Duran was much better than Davey Moore.

    I don't see your point.
