Or Sturm could go to the USA beat Oscar in his own backyard and get ****ed by american refs and american judges........no wait, he already did that. ......and Americans wonder why Euros want to stay in Europe! That and the fact that the US atmosphere is dead! 9000 Pavlik V Taylor! That would have got a better gate in England!
Agreed I think they should show alot of american fights here in england too. The only ones we usually get to see are the ones where theres a british fighter involved
Thats true I mean just take frank warren as an example on saturdas in the sun bigging up his own fighters and slating the rest.
Maybe if you sent somebody other than a fringe contender over, we'd find out if the judging is fair What the ****s the point in going to America. Ngoudjo tried his luck, and got shafted recently. Sturm can fight all the bums in the world, he deserves it after being robbed by De La Fishnets. The judges have probably got pre-made cards, saving them the agony of giving the first 3 rounds to Hopkins. Any headbutts will be deemed power punches by the ref It's a joke over there, as bad as Germany for the foreign fighter. Difference is, they never hear the end of it.
So what you're saying is, Calzaghe being gifted one of the worst stoppages in modern boxing is justified because Manfreado was easily beatable. The "point in coming to America" is that "America" is the center of the sport. Always has been, and always will be.
It's not the centre of anything whilst a foreigner can't get a round, it has no credibility Manfredo was getting his face smashed in, don't compare that **** to being robbed on the cards. That **** only really happens in Germany, fact is you havn't sent anybody decent over here for a long while
No it isn't. Boxing is a world sport now and various countries are becoming its centers. Germany (haven of the corrupt though it may be ) attracts fighters from all over europe and Warren seems to be getting the WBO deeper into his pockets. Its still a good idea to fight in america and I wish the likes of Calzaghe had done it much earlier but what you say is the hight of percieved american disinterest in the rest of the world. There are plenty of euro fighters on youtube. Go and watch them.
Seen my faier share of European fighters, many of which are awesome, but the fact remains; although boxing transcends all national borders, the Un ited States, particularly Vaegs, is the Mecca of the sport. other nations produce great fighters, the United States produces the best fights.
