@ DontBeSuchANerdDude:, why do you think Usyk's hometown must be as it was at his birth? I'm not saying it shouldn't, but currently it reads as if Usyk should be fighting for Soviet Union instead of Ukraine :) If your edit is based on a rule, then articles about Klitschko fights should be fixed as well. -- Amakuha ( talk) 02:46, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
Personally, I don't see any need to duplicate information about birthplace in articles about fights. But as long as there is such field in the template, it should be treated consistently. Klitschko brothers is a problematic examples: born in Kazakhstan, but raised in Ukraine and fighting from Germany. What sense would it make to mention Semipalatinsk as the hometown in Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko? To me it makes little sense. In any case, I just want consistency.

@ Squared.Circle.Boxing: Could you, please, explain this change? I understand your point that one opinion is not significant. However, I would argue that an opinion by a famed sports analyst which is shared by Daily Mirror and other publications (like Pundit Arena [1]) is significant enough for a mention. (Maybe, together with "highly controversial" decision on Campbell Hatton's fight.)
Yet another publication put it this way:
One of the biggest takeaways that fans have had since the scorecards were released focused on Howard Foster. <...> he scored both the first and second round for Joshua when 99.9% of viewers and pundits alike felt Usyk dominated through the first three rounds.
So I suggest to leave the scoring criticism section. -- Amakuha ( talk) 09:33, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
Here's all of the post-fight reporting from a few highly reputable outlets: The Ring; ESPN; BBC; Boxing Scene. Now I obviously haven't read every single article, but the ones I did read/search for "Howard Foster", none criticised the scoring. If expert boxing outlets like The Ring and Boxing Scene aren't discussing the scoring, and the likes of the BBC and ESPN aren't discussing the scoring, I'd say it's a safe bet that this isn't a significant viewpoint. – 2.
