Name british fighters who lost by decision against foreigners in the UK

[Light_Speed]

Gonzales was ahead against Burns until he quit.

Didn't win by decision though.

Given the circumstances, it's a very easy assumption to make.

Just what is the data for, exactly?

I was comparing the likelihood of the local guy losing by decision from country to country, and when it came to the UK I realized that I didn't have many examples, especially in recent years

A lot of people felt Calzaghe lost against Reid yet Cal got it

Both fighters are from the UK.

Both fighters are from the UK.

It was against Reid in England. Reid is English.

You won't see fighters from Toronto getting a neutral fight against guys from Quebec, even though both are in Canada.

The fight was in Reid's home country of England.

Joe clearly won that fight, the English judge who gave it to Reid named Paul Thomas is one of the very worst.

Has anybody ever considered that the reason UK fighters normally get the decision in the UK is that when they are fighting in the UK it is normally a fight to either build that fighters career or is a homecoming fight, meaning that they are usually softer opponents. Non UK fighters who are the top guys have the clout to make the fight in the USA or wherever. It is very rare two of the best (one British the other non British) fight in the UK, it just doesn't happen often.

Winky Wright fought a few fights over in the UK. He got a decision over Ensley Bingham

Sergio Martinez also had a few fights here and got a decision against Richard Williams in a fight in which he got knocked down if I remember correctly. Kinda ironic considering what happened to Murray in Argentina...

Martinez absolutely schooled Williams in that fight though. There was no possible way they could have given it to Williams. Had they done so it would have been the robbery of the millenium.
