    UK is obviously more corrupt as a country in general, and I would trust much more to an average German than Brit.

    i think on the scorecards, germany is clearly worse.

    the thing uk ref's do, which irritates me more than anything in the uk, is their stupid idiotic premature stoppages. i mean its awful. you could literally see an entire undercard of 5 fights ALl stopped prematurely. its ****ed up

    my vote still goes to germany though. they **** you over on the scorecards

    It depends mate. The circumstances and context are deciding factors. Still, on large enough sample of fights I would go with Germany just because Germans in general are less prone to lying, cheating and bullshitting than Brits.

    If the fight is given a draw in Germany which is really unlikely, mostly German titile holder vs German challenger, it gets scored 117-112 114-114 112 - 117... how does that make any sense at all... A lot of bull**** there.

    Germany is a lot worst for home town decisions, Britain isn't even in the same league

    The fights offered as a comparison tells the story. Germany is hands down more corrupt.

    British refs are more prone to dive in there too early..... but I think plenty of overseas fighters have received close decisions here - a couple of years ago there were about five weeks in a row where an overseas fighter was in a close fight and they were given all bar one of them.

    You're more likely to get a fair crack of the whip from the referee in Germany..... well, you are certain to because our refs are a disgrace, but the judges in Germany are shocking.

    All in all, you get a fairer go here, so long as you aren't taking too many unanswered shots, or should I say having them thrown at you - even if you make the opponent miss the ref will still jump in..... if you hear the final bell without a bull**** stoppage you are in with a shout, put it that way.

    Out of interest, what specifically are you referring to when you say that the "UK is obviously more corrupt as a country in general"?
