    What difference does the venue make? Unless it's to give him a win he doesn't really deserve I don't see how a different venue changes anything

    If Barker beats Geale you'll be seeing him against Macklin in the UK.

    Because Murray was robbed in Germany and Argentina. He didn't need decisions he didn't deserve in those fights just fair ones that he didn't get IMO.

    I don't think he was robbed. They were both very close fights. But I could see him getting a decision in England in either of the fights and if he had they wouldn't have been called robberies either. It's just the way boxing is. Home advantage is an advantage. It really shouldn't be but it is

    Very close fight with sturm and while the majority had murray winning its not unreasonable to have sturm taking it or a draw, hell if I remember the british commentary team had it a draw.

    Ok, I used robbed just for ease, but just backing up original point that he wouldn't have needed a home town decision in either of those fights to be a deserved winner.

    Hopefully Stevens got as much as he could. Might need it for medical bills
