It wasn't long ago that American fight fans figured bad officiating was a foreign concept.
The popular line “You need a knockout to get a draw over there” is rumored to be founded during the title reign of Sven Ottke of Germany, who saw many an unpopular decision fall his way.
Unfortunately, particularly in the past few years, that ideal has been wiped away by an extraordinary number of bad calls in officiating in the United States just this year.

As the dust settles on Andre Berto's
newly-claimed welterweight crown, Leave It In The Ring speaks to
promoters Lou DiBella and [Matchroom Sports’] Eddie Hearn—who
represent the latest IBF champion and undefeated Englishman Kell
Brook, respectively—on the possibility of a meeting between the two
welterweights.
“Well, we are fighting [Rafa]
Jackiewicz who has beaten Jan [Zaveck] and Jackiewicz is #5 in the
IBF, so when we beat him we will be right there for a shot at Berto,”
stated Hearn just days after the enthralling but brief bout between
the Haitian-born Berto and Jan Zaveck.
