Gacria vs Guerrero fight!

Decision will go to Garcia, regardless of whether he actually deserves it or not. He's done enough to make it close and he's the more marketable fighter of the two.

So Guerrero is from Southern Cal, close to LA....... and Garcia is from Philly....... but Guerrero will get shafted by the judges?

Guess there's something I don't know about.

Garcia made it close enough so it won't be a robbery either way. He also had the momentum to close the show.

Why would some judges who flew in from someplace else give two shits about a home crowd?

Fact is, Garcia is much more likely to generate more boxing revenue in future fights than Guerrero. All Danny he had to do was be competitive and the decision was his.

Are you guys for real?? So ok.... hometown decisions don't exist and are a figment of the imagination, right?
There have been no shady decisions in Texas involving Mexican or Mexican-American fighters, right?

Whew! That's a relief.
I guess it's all been a bad dream.

You seem to have a chip on your shoulder here. Home decisions generally refer to the home fighter not where the fighter is from. These decisions happen all over the world and are a plague on the sport for fighters early in there career. Its virtually impossible for a journeyman to get a decision against a prospect or a ticket seller as the promoter has the judges, and refs ear.

I was at a fight a few years ago where a novice was fighting a journeyman who lost over 100 fights. It was the prospects first fight and he sold over 100 tickets. The journeyman battered him. Had him down 5 times in first round but only one was called a KD. In the 2nd round the prospect landed one punch and threw a 3 punch combo with the journeyman against the ropes. Had his guard up and was clearly fine and the ref jumped in.

I had Garcia winning this fight 7-5
