Meanwhile, great American boxers (Roy Jones and even Floyd) refused to go fight overseas because they were afraid of getting robbed.
It’s pretty much the same on both side except that it’s worse for foreigners when they come to the US (Felix Sturm from Germany got robbed against Oscar so did Erislandy Lara from Cuba against Paul Williams so did Lennox Lewis against Holyfield).
But to answer your question, they come to test themselves and put their trust in our guys).

I saw Campbell countering shot to the body and blocking to noncredit.
Garcia came on and threw explosive combos most that didn't land then Campbell would pary and land.
I have no issue with people having Garcia up but I felt it was pretty damn close fight not the blow out people seem to see
It's all moot now...

Its not something that is a surprise though is it? It's not even the worst example we've seen of preferential scoring. Luckily, Garcia landed a gem of a body shot that took it out of the hands of the judges...
Yes the rounds were close but it always seems the "A-side" always gets the benefit of close rounds. The house fighter who is the darling of the promotion somehow manages to only lose a round 10-9 in a round he was dropped.
We've seen it time and again in fights. The A-side gets the benefit of the doubt, if there is bungling and incompetence it always seems to favor him.
It's not Garcia's fault or any of the others that benefit from it, it's just a symptom of the unregulated shadiness of the sport where the sanctioning bodies and regulatory athletic commissions are corrupt and incompetent.
