Lets be honest. Any time you go into an fighter's hometown then there is going to be homecooking. Ask Kotelnik about winning a decision against Alexander in St. Louis. Ask any foreigner about winning a decision in the UK. Ask a foreigner about winning a decision in Germany.

the hometown fighter is going to get anywhere from 2-3 rounds given to him alot of the time.

Same thing for 2 guys where it isn't a hometown situation. Ask yourself who is the bigger name (or the champ) and figure 2-3 rounds are going to be given to him.

I'm cynical but that is what you see on a regular basis. Hometown guys and bigger name guys will get scores they shouldn't be getting.
