Nationality of Judges in "World" Title Fights?

[killersheep]

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

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?

Its cheaper,but again,you dont have the judge pool to draw from,you do realize judges have a ranking system dont you
Your not exactly going to grab a judge from the Blue Horizon to judge a fight at Madison Square Garden,are you?
You just dont have enough people to have a deep enough judge pool
ANd you still dont understand the US,there is no ethnic identity in this country,and until you get that through your head,you'll never understand how ludicrous your conspiracy theories sound.
Philadelphia has as much in common with Los Angeles as England has in common with Mars
Grand Rapids is a long way from Las Vegas,and Hatton is more popular here in the states then Mayweather,he lost,get over it

What does this have to do with Hatton-Floyd? I used that as an example. I picked Floyd to KO Hatton, I couldn't careless about that fight.

"ludicrous conspiracy theories"?

I'm not accusing anyone of foul play. It's a simple oddity that ONLY in America (someone may yet find this is wrong) "world" title fights can be judged by THREE Americans even with a non-American as one of the competitors.
