The same judges names pop up time and time again though... Chuck Giampa, Dave Moretti, Paul Smith etc...there are more and higher ranked judges in the states,its a larger pool to choose from

Your not getting either
A) The judges get ranked as well,and they dont get to judge fights if theyre ranking isnt good
or
B) We're having the same round and round as we allways do about Nationality,there is no Nationality in the states,none whatsoever. About the only thing I have in common with someone from Kansas is that we are both carbon based lifeforms
No common food,no common dress,not even common race,absolutely nothing whatsoever.
You live in a country that has generally the same basic ethnicity(dont even try,I know more about British history then you do I guarantee it)I live in a country where nobody has anything in common with anyone,ever.
I am no closer to a Floridian then I am to the moon(Which I learned the hard way when I had to live there for a year) region by region everything is different,its like going to a foriegn continent,and none of them like each other
The sanctioning bodies are operated by/staffed with mainly US people including judges. You do get foreign judges officiating at big US fights (eg. the English gut (Larry O' Connell?) that gave Lewis-Holyfield 1 to Holyfield) but often it's the same small group of people who get picked from, make of that what you will.
I think it's just cheaper for the sanctioning bodies to assess and accredit domestic people and physically get them to the fights. They all grew from basically one-man bands (the WBU iirc is run from a cottage in Norfolk) so they're naturally going to start with the cheapest, easiest options to get enough judges to run their rackets, sorry, sanctioning bodies.

Lets try it using math,if there are 100 acredited judges from the states,and 50 others world wide,what are the odds that sooner or later a fight would end up with three American Judges?
Hell count your blessings until the late 60's European judges almost never got used in the states,youve come along way baby
The BBBC wouldn't let them. I don't think they even let the WBU/F do that. If it's a world title fight in Britain, even a WBU fight, the BBBC want to at least look like they're fair and impartial. In the States, especially Vegas, the powers-that-be want judges who are reliable in that they'll vote for the aggressive fighter in a fight to encourage more exciting fights. IMHO anyway.
That probably makes a bit more sense.
Look.. "World" title fights between Brits -
Naz-Hardy - judge: Roy Francis | judge: Mickey Vann | judge: Dave Parris ~
Eubank-Calzaghe - judge: Paul Thomas 116-111 | judge: Roy Francis 118-110 | judge: Dave Parris 118-109
The alphabets have no problem appointing all Brit judges to all Brit title fights.

Im sure if I had the time energy,and desire,I could find a Mexican on Peurto Rican fight that had nothing but Mexican judges
And as far as Naive,or maybe geographically challenged,do you know how many time you could drive up and down the Isles before you did the trip from LA to Philly?
Youve floated these test balloons before Fenster,so Im considering the source,and the source has no clue whatsoever how the states operate.

For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
