Modern day road warriors
Posted: 03 Nov 2016, 14:22
With the topics about fighters staying at home, it's made me think about road warriors. Fighters who don't travel to lose, but travel to win.
Maybe the best at the moment is Johnriel Casimero (with wins in Nicaragua, Argentina, Panama, Mexio, China and England, as well as losses in South Africa, Mexico and Thailand). Only 3 of his last 13 have been at home and he has gone 10-3 during that 13 fight stretch.
Can anyone think of someone who matches that in the last few years?
Note-
I'm not thinking of guys based in a country other than their nation of birth, so Golovkin and Kovalev fighting in the US don't count.
Interestingly Chris John, of all people, deserves an honourable mention with fights in Japan, Australia, Singapore and the US combining for 10 bouts away from home going 8-1-1
