    It seems a bit easier to get a fair decision in the US if you're traveling from another country if you're fighting somewhere neutral like vegas or atlantic city. I was actually surprised that bradley was given the decision at all against witter. However, some of the worst decisions i've ever seen are in the US when a fighter travels to another fighter's hometown. Augustus - Burton immediately springs to mind.

    Good point on Augustus-Burton....I have to say Joe Cortez has been doing his damndest to prove the other portion of your statement wrong lately, unfortunately. I thought he did a terrible job in Calzaghe-Hopkins to the point where it looked blatantly biased vs Calzaghe, in no small part because it was a complete 180 to how he reffed Mayweather-Hatton.
