Nah, I love hearing perspective of boxing fans from across the pond. One of the main reasons I really grew to love boxing was because it is a true INTERNATIONAL SPORT. . . Unlike "American football" where it's only really big in USA. . . I am a fan of soccer (football) as well, but it's not really caught on in USA. . Boxing, on the other hand is a sport where every single man can put his entire country on his shoulders! (that must be a LOT of pressure). . . Also - I too was a bit of a ruffian and troublemaker, then I cleaned my act up later in my teens and started really taking to boxing - now I can't live without it!
I hate it when fans turn their back on their guy after he loses. . Which is why I am a big Hatton fan myself - and I love how he is still just as endeared in the UK. I have a few friends in Scotland, and they tell me the biggest thing they look for in their boxers, athletes, and just people in general is the ability to be humble. The fans won't take as well to a guy despite being a lot more talented than another guy.
Happy for ya having the chance to see your guy fight live tonight! I'll definitely be watching closely (as I got access to a really good stream for the fight). . .
Stop back in later tonight after the fight and tell us how the experience went!
