Eddie Chambers is a fucking bore. I'm not gonna root for him just because we share the same country of origin. Honestly, I don't give a fuck if the champ is from U.S., The Isle of Man, Vietnam, who cares? I don't care if boxing is ever huge in America. Have you guys watched a sports report on boxing lately?
"Michael Kat.....kat......I can't say this. Kat-say-eed-ees? Kat-saw-ed-is?"
"Chris John was also on the card. Finally a name I can pronounce."
"In tonight's MMA matchup from Las Vegas, Floyd Mayweather defeated Juan Marquez to move to 4 and 0."
I couldn't give a shit if we never have another US Heavyweight TITLIST, let alone a legitimate champion.
it isn't that your average American boxing fan cares TOO much about a non American Heavyweight... Its that they don't care enough
Sad, but true story.
But I will say that if HBO embraced the Klitschko's more, and stopped mentioning how the HW division is in a lull and needs a defribilator and all this nonsense, then maybe they wouldn't be bringing about the self-fulfilling prophecy that they put into effect with their irresponsible announcing.
