    Default Nationality of Judges in "World" Title Fights?

    I noticed a while ago that many "world" title fights - that take place in the States between an American and non-American - are officiated by THREE American judges.

    for example.. Hatton-Floyd.

    I can't recall ANY "world" title fight in Britain, between Brit and non-Brit, having three Brit judges. I checked a few German and Japanese "world" title fights and noticed the judges seem to be from neutral countries too.

    So.. can anyone name a "world" title fight outside the States that had three home-country judges?

    Thank you.

    err..what? There's "world" title fights all over the world all the time.

    Look - this is what i mean..

    Hozumi Hasegawa-vs-Cristian Faccio - Tokyo, Japan | judge: Alan Krebs 10-9 | judge: Max DeLuca 10-9 | judge: Stephen Blea 10-9 ~

    How come it wasn't THREE Japanese judges?

    OK you have a point, I looked as long as my attention level would let me and I had no dice. I agree that World Title bouts SHOULD have international judges, if at all possible.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Recent Championships
    Hopkins-Calzaghe-Las Vegas
    Kiltschko-Ibragimov-New York
    Peter-McCline NY
    Tarver Hopkins-Atlantic City
    I mean you get some guys who never travel like Bute,but I can probably find 3 to 1 major bouts that happened in the states
    Not to mention compare populations,now If China was involved in Pro boxing,and couldnt get consistent majority judges,youd have a point.
    Like or not,the US has the second highest population in the world,more of a pool to chose from
    Sorry 3rd most populous India is number 2
    But if there are 350 Million Americans
    And there 61 Million British
    Are you more or less likely to get an American judge or a British judge

    Trainermonkey - what the hell you waffling about man?

    This isn't a slight on America. I can't even think of a fight where three American judges ROBBED the forigner.

    It seems very odd, thats all.

    There's PLENTY of judges in Britain, yet NO "world" fight (i can find) without an international judge
