Its very difficult for a foreign boxer to get a result in the USA.
Off the top of my head.....
Alexander vs Matthysse
Alexander vs Kotelnik
Garcia vs Theophane
Broner vs Ponce De Leon
Broner vs Ouintero
Bradley vs Pacquiao
Bradley vs Provodnikov
Cloud vs Campillo
Rios vs Abril
PEDerson vs Khan
And that's just in the last couple of years
Flash Elorde was fouled by Sandy Saddler by almost every dirty tricks in the book in their fight for the world featherweight title back in the early 50s and all he got was symphaty after losing by late round TKO. Elorde had earlier beaten Saddler on points in Manila in what Saddler camp said was a hometown decision. In fairness, Elorde subsequently fought and defeated a lot of black fighters in the USA like Ike Chestnut and Auburn Copeland and emerged winner on points.
Eddie Perkins wrested the junioisions happenr welterweight title from Filipino Roberto Cruz in fight held in Manila in 1962 which Pedro Adigue avenged by beating American Adolph Pruitt six years later for the WBC title.
Pacquiao also got the deserved UD over Shane Mosley in Vegas prior to his controversy-filled loss to Bradley.
But bad decisions can happen in a supposedly sophisticated boxing country as the USA. So Pacquiao has really to close the show.
Jones and Hopkins vs Calzaghe = European win. It is not impossible, but the odds are against Europeans if they fight on American soil. Just ask Sturm. Btw, most get fkd over at one point in their careers.
It's always been that way in America. You have to KO the American guy just to be awarded a draw as the judges over there are a joke.
pacquiao-bradley 1 wasnt even a close fight...
pac diminated tim 9 out of 12...
any suggestions on what pac needs to do to win?
obviously he needs to ko tim w/c I dont see possible w/ tim's
granite chin...not to mention we saw him ran all night against jmm he might do the same w/pac
Well if you think about it what black folks have in this country? Basketball, some boxing (sharing with Mexicans) and that's it pretty much. Don't hate on them, black folks need to have something too, even if it's just two sports. You can always root for our white brothers from around the world. That's what I and most white fellas I know do ;-)
magical neuro?
I don't believe it's possible for any foreigner to receive a truly fair decision in this country vs an African-American. That's why I'm generally against the idea of my European brothers fighting in our pro-minority country, if they do it, they must know they need to win by KO. There are very few times where a decision or two were reached, for example, Tomasz Adamek's second fight to Cunningham. I was beyond belief shocked seeing a white dude getting away with such a close fight against a N***o. The fact is that close decisions like 95%+ of the time go for our N***o compatriots.
Manny Pacquiao can win, but he needs to emphatically dominate (like Maidana did to Broner) for the judges to recognize it, or win by KO. I don't see him winning a close, competitive, or tossup decision even if he deserves it...See Kotelnik vs Alexander, Matthysse vs Alexander&Judah, Malignaggi vs Broner, Pavlik vs Taylor 1 up to the KO, Pirog/Jacobs up to the KO. I won't even go to historically proven robberies like Schulz vs Foreman and Farr vs Louis that even 95% of the American crowd was booing the decision.
American judges side almost exclusively with Negroes in close rounds and that's a fact. So, someone like Manny Pacquiao needs to win rounds emphatically for it to count which I find very unfair because that means that Magical N***es have a huge advantage to begin with.
