we all know the advantages of being in the home corner, the promoter pays the hotel fees and expenses etc etc............so.

In a 10 round English title fight...how many rounds does the home fighter have in the bank before the first bell (of course, im meaning any rounds that are even remotely competitive will go to him)

My guess is 3 or 4.

5 star hotel= 5 rounds, then when it gets below 3 the rounds go to the away fighter.

are you still upset about that European title fight at the Borough Hall? :P ;;-)

just kidding. There's definitely something in it. I've been up to Scotland before and seen my friend pull out a stoppage in the last round, in a six-rounder I assumed he was winning clearly - only for him to ask the ref which way it was going - the ref told him he would have awarded it to the Scottish lad. That was a six-rounder and you really can't afford to be losing many of them if you're aiming for big things. I was astonished.

what about the standard of the wine? the hire car? pence per mile for own car use? laundry expense? bar credit?...... is an all inclusive hotel worth a UD?.........or a long count?....or knock down ruled as a slip?

Oh if your going for the full package it guarantee's it wont be going to the scorecard, just depends how confident the promoter is.
