    The funny thing is that all the euros here are already complaining
    Bat Im surprised you would be one of them

    How about all the judges in the career of Claz talk about home town love
    then there is all the other euros who maily fight in euro
    most are euro judges in euro venues? Fact is that robberies happen all over and its part of the sport. I think you guys are just worried that Kessler is gonna lose and you all are already making up excuses. I think he will be fine.

    And Bat those judges on mayweather are ridiculous
    anyone fighting in Vegas wil almost always have vegas judges just like most in NYC will have judges from NYC and the same goes for Killa Cali.

      I only wanted to show that hometown judging isn't a phonomenon excluded from the United States. The fights I mentioned rather proves an upsetting trend of it perhaps being a standard rather than an exception.

      I read somewhere that the appointment of judges in the US is done by the local commision. The problem with that is that the commision members has to be elected and will do a lot to gain the support of the local community hence pleasing the local promotor. The US system is flawed.

        ...oh and I'm not scared of Kessler losing. I'll support him in any case. Win or lose (unless he bites Wards ear off that is).

        All I hope for is fair treatment and the story so far gives ample room for fear that he wont get that.

          didn't sven ottke, markus beyer and valuev always have 3 judges from different countries? how did that work out? froch-dirrell? 3 different. how did that work out? lewis-holyfield? 3 different. the british guy even had it a draw. the judges are gonna favor the hometown guy most the time no matter where they are from. who knows why. getting paid off, influenced by the crowd, pressure.

            All of those decisions was fair.

            US fighters gets hometown judges. Add a loud home crowd and you've got yourself a recipe for robbery.

              I'm surprised this is coming from you, Bat. You're a good poster and everyone with common sense knows the situation in Oakland is ****ty.

              Robberies can happen anywhere. They aren't bound to any one specific state, country, continent, etc.

                You've been on here long enough to see the yank posters on here play the 'He's getting robbed in Europe' card once too often.

                Eye for an eye.

                  The world is unfair, that's how it is.

                  Or depends on who gets paid.

                    Like I said Chunk, those with common sense.

                    There are ignorant posters all over the place, both American and European.
