[Trainer Monkey]

Theres only so many "world title" bouts outside the states to work with

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.

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

Im not waffling about anything
There are more American judges
Most of the big fights happen in the states,so its cheaper to get the judges in
Therefore,your more likely to get 3 American Judges
And you still have no idea about the fact that we have no real sense of national identity
If youve got an Polish from Poland guy fighting in Chicago,fighting against a chicano from LA,and its an all Chicago Judging crew
Im not betting on the American Chicano

[Fenster]

Right.. so it's cheaper to have THREE American judges in America.. well surely it's CHEAPER to have THREE BRIT judges in Britain!?! Or three Germans in Germany.. Or three Japanese in Japan?

Calzaghe-Lacy England - judge:Nelson Vazquez 119-105 | judge: Roy Francis 119-107 | judge: Adalaide Byrd 119-107

What was Byrd and Vazquez doing there? Three Brit judges could have done it, no?
