most crooked boxing country (hometown decisions)

[Sid-Knee]

I say UK. I can't think of a single fight in the where the foreigner was given the benefit of the doubt in a close fight or in a fight where most people thought the foreigner won. I have fights like Murray-Khomitsky, Saunders-Akavov, Macklin-Varon, and Burns-Beltran in mind. There's also whole bunch of others incon****uous UK fighters that have bad decisions in their favor that I can't think the name of. There's almost always one whenever I tune into a UK stream.

Can anyone give me more than one example of a foreigner being given the fair winning decision in the UK?

In Germany, at least Sturm was given the L or D in quite a number of fights even though he's one of their biggest fighters.

The only fight where the opponent won the fight was Beltran vs Burns, the others won close fights. None of them were robberies at all. You just can't score a fight properly. But that's not surprising considering you're American. You lot and the Mexicans are by far the worst at scoring fights.

Crolla beat Perez the first time they fought but the judges scored it a draw.

Russis is pretty cruel. They rob fighters blind and they dont even try to hide it lol.

As far as being fair, I believe Japan is the most honorable.

I've never seen a robbery come out of Russia. Care to tell me which fights were robberies??

1) USA
2) Germany
3) UK

KovalevWard will go down as one of the most controversial fights of all time labelled as a robbery. That was a real sad day for boxing.

Since you seem to be well verse with the UK scene, can you name fights where a foreigner won in the UK by decision? I'm not saying they aren't any, but I can't really remember any off the top of my head.

Edit: Buglioni vs Chudinov! There's one.

I'm well versed with the UK scene because i'm British.

None that I can think of where an over-seas fighter won the fight but got jibbed other than Beltran.

How can you blame British fighters who win the fight close or otherwise for getting decisions? Do you want the British fighter to be ripped off or something? Do you expect over-seas fighters to get decisions over Americans even if the American wins the fight? That would just be too ****** for words.

Ah, Linares got the decision over Crolla. There's one.

It seems every time I ask for robberies on British soil from Americans, they mostly never get back to me. Funny that.

I keep on seeing all these Americans saying the UK, but when I ask for these robberies, they don't answer back.

Hope you're not one of those idiots and you'll get back to me.

I am probably wasting my time but here goes
How about Terry O' Connor physically carrying Cleverly back to his corner vs Kovalev?
Or the absolute joke of a stoppage in Enzo Macrinelli vs Ovill McKenzie 1
The hilariously premature hometown stoppages in Joe Calzaghes career at least a dozen. Watch any fight where O' Connor or Howard Foster refs you won't ever see more blatant corruption.

Terrible decisions, sure. A few from recent memory. How about Jamie McDonnell getting a gift decision in his last fight? Ricky Burns vs Ray Beltran. John McDermott vs Tyson Fury 1. Chris Jenkins vs Tyrone Nurse.
Always the house fighter that gets 'the benefit of the doubt' prior to Crawford beating Burns you'd probably have to go as far back as when Bradley beat Witter for when a foreign fighter got a fair shake over here.
I'm a Brit btw but being honest its bad over here and with British boxing at an all-time high its the last thing it needs.

those fights are spread across years.......a few are like 5 years ago

do you even know what a robbery is? a fight decided by 2 rounds of less is no where near a robbery

of course you picked the USA because you are upset the Bodygaurd lost to Ward, and you probably arent too fund of Broner and wanted to see him lose, even though the fight was no robbery

newflash bro....a robbery means, a fighter who clearly lost by a wide margin, gets the decision

robbery doesnt mean " the fighter I wanted to win, lost the fight"

bwhahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah a

you are more see through than a glass window

That's actually the definition of a robbery on this site

I'm not sure why Russia is in this discussion I watch nearly every Russian card as I love the CW scene and I can not recall one robbery. I'd go as far as saying its one of the fairest countries in boxing.
