There were 91 valid votes (and many remarks that Africa isn't a country).

The USA leads with 45 votes, which includes six votes for Nevada (Las Vegas) and two for Texas.

The UK received 27 votes, with two of them going to Scotland.

Germany got 12 votes, but many acknowledged that it had a terrible judging history in the past, which led some voters to place the USA or UK first from a current point of view.

This could indicate that German judging may have improved (although unlikely), or it might be due to Germany losing significant boxing stars who fought for German promoters, resulting in a lack of big events and decreased visibility in the boxing world.
On the other hand, this visibility issue might also be a reason why many voters easily criticized the US for its terrible judging.

While boxing often faces criticism for being a corrupt sport, this year has already provided boxing fans with numerous great fights that occurred at the right time in the fighters' careers. The reason for this appears to be that the fighters themselves demanded these bouts to happen, rather than promoters attempting to enhance the sport and cater to fans' desires.

Haha, that is exactly what I was thinking about Africa. I wonder if the USA judges are regarded as the worst because there are so many more of them?
