German boxer Sven Ottke has won all 33 of his professional fights - and significantly, all but one of the bouts have taken place in Germany. He's the current WBA and IBF super middleweight world champion. Fifteen of his 33 victories have come on points at the end of a 12-round contest, showing how important home advantage can be.
Many who follow boxing believe the judges who make points decisions are biased towards home fighters. However, judges in world title contests don't always come from the home country, so that's not the deciding factor.
It's worth noting that the fight promoter often pays the judges, and the promoter is often backing the home fighter. This is a clear conflict of interest that leads many to suspect some of the decisions that are made.
For that reason, you should always do as much research as possible on the judges when one of the boxers in a bout is fighting in his own country.
