Would American fighters win on the road?

[Jim Tom]

Are American fighters that good or they just have home advantage by fighting in their country most of the times? Would they win on the road if they had to travel as much as other fighters?

Same rules apply everywhere.

Americans are lucky that they don't normally have to travel and therefore are home town fighters. Look at Leo Santa Cruz, he even considered New York as "having to travel".

Over eight years ago in Switzerland, a great boxer named Evander Holyfield put on a boxing masterclass, a David and Goliath performance, making history in the process. He had become the only five time, five time, five time, five time, five time Heavyweight champion of the world. At 46 years old he was also the oldest ever Heavyweight champion, breaking George Foreman's record.

However the corrupt Euro bums had other plans. Screw all the historical implications and what actually happened inside the ring. They had put too much into this venture for their man to lose here. Regardless of the fact that he did indeed lose. Time for judges Mikael Hook, Guillermo Perez Pineda and Pierluigi Poppi to do their jobs. Time to tally their cards to read as a close decision win for their man.

You can't blame Americans. Nobody gets a fair shake. European boxers traveling to other European nations don't get a fair shake. Americans coming into Europe certainly don't. At least European promoters have some working ties. When it comes to Americans, those same promoters aren't about to let a team fly half way across the world to lay waste to everything they've built, only to fly off again.

The best Americans would win anywhere. Andrade just won in Germany over a good fighter in spite of their best attempt to rob him. He was too dominate to possibly lose.I think Spence will soon win over champion Brook in England. Americans could get robbed but that's the chance all fighters take when they fight in the other guy's country. America robs their share of visiting boxers. There are lots of very good boxers in this world and Americans would lose fights on the road as well. Any traveling boxer should try to get neutral judges and a neutral referee if they can.
