    Even the commentating during this fight was brilliant. Adam Smith and Froch gave Linares a lot of praise and credit for what he was doing in the ring.

      Who has ever said the UK is worse than Germany?!?

      As for UK vs US . . . HBO is so focused on foreign fighters that rarely do the powers that be actually want the American to win . . .

        Well those people are idiots. Hearn does not buy judges in international fights. It's a big part of why he's able to get American promoters and managers to send their fighters there.

          Nobody criticizes Laurence Cole more than Americans do.

          Texas has the most corrupt commission in the United States.

            You're an idiot. Americans were rooting for Pacquiao in that fight.

            That fight could have been held on Mars and there was no way Pacquiao would win a decision. It was the last fight on his Top Rank contract and he was refusing to sign an extension. It was an absolute guarantee Bradley would win if it went the distance.

            I bet $50,000 on Bradley the second I found out Pacquiao hadn't signed his extension. Top Rank has been doing this forever. If it's the last fight on your deal, winning a decision is almost impossible.

                I asked that Red Foxx idiot once to name big fights in the UK that ended in robberies for foreign fighters, because he said there "were so many" but he couldn't name 5 lol

                The UK has solid judging because the judges panel is normally all international and Hearn doesnt have the reach of GBP or Haymon to seduce judges often enough.

                  I am not from the UK(obviously) but I must say bad judging goes on everywhere, correction, bad officiating. Vegas had the reputation, Germany,, Russia, UK, USA etc. Officials want to work and promoters have a say in who gets the work. Fighters are protected, especially stars. But in defense of boxing this goes on in all sports.

                    If the fight was close like the GGG v Jacobs one, trust me GGG wouldnt get the nod here. This one wasn't even close, so yes am glad the judges reflect that too.
