Total farce. I'm not surprised certain fighters won't travel to these places with the deck stacked against them like that. Great fights though. Cheers
Bad decision making happens everywere in boxing see golota vs ruiz in new york or foreman v schultz in vegas!

Outrageous decisions...
Outrageous decisions definitely happen everywhere..But that type of referee bias does not happen very often for big fights in the U.S and very rarely in Vegas or New York which is why I think all big fights should happen there. The last time I remember a ref having a woeful night in the U.S was Abner Mares vs Agbeko - That just seemed like a bizarre off night. You don't get things like B.S Calzaghe/Manfredo type stoppages or when Danny Williams had the home fighter in Germany on wobbly legs and the round ended a minute early!

The only way around it if you want the event held overseas is to bring the neutral world class refs over..Otherwise, as a boxer I would refuse to travel unless it was to the U.S.
