    The Super Six.... Hometown fighting dilemma

    alot of people are saying that the super six should not be on hometown fights, and should be on neutral ground...... for instance..

    a british vs. american (fight should not be held neither in america or britian, but somewhere else)...


    i dont get that.. just because a fight is at hometown... doesn't mean all the judges come from there..

    say there is a fight in france, doesn't mean all the judges are from france,

    one might be from america, 1 might be italy, 1 might be from spain.......

    so i really dont see whats wrong with hometown fighting.....

    What they need to do is have Asian, African and South American judges for all the fights

          I don't see the problem with Ward fighting at home. Maybe he got a present for the first fight but after he beat Kessler(the one everybody thought would win the damn thing) I don't see the problem.

          He fought Allen Green for **** sake, both Americans, where else are they going to generate money? Then Sakio Bika. Ward is the only person who hasn't lost in the tournament and Bika was a replacement so I don't understand all the hate for all the fights being on Ward's home turf.

          It's not like their has been a bad decision or anything like in the Dirrell-Froch fight. Thats why nobody wants Froch-Johnson over there. Johnson has been through so much in his career and deserves the fairest fight he can get since this is probably his last shot at greatness.

            in regards to kessler many thought there was little protection from wards headbutts by the ref

            fighting at home all the time gives you a huge advantage comforts of home, family and the usual gym mean a lot

            i think dirrell would have done a lot better against froch too if it was in america. heard he didnt arrive in england till late

              judges mess up because they are either incompetent or corrupt. some judges score based on crowd reaction. if a fighter has a hometown crowd then they are gonna favor that hometown fighter more.

              they also score based on who's paying them. example if you score this fight for my guy i'll get you another big fight down the road type of deal. why do you think promoters use the same judges so often? the promoter of the fight also pays the judges hmmm su****ious.

              so there are 2 reasons why having judges from different countries doesn't matter. we have 3 judges from different countries all the time and they still mess up all the time so it makes no difference.
