I mean look at the fire on this forum. For the most part, you have blind brits and euros sticking up for Froch (some very blindly) and you have blind yanks sticking up for Dirrell (im an aussie, bang in the middle :) )
This rivalry is good for boxing.
Nothing gets the passion going more than Europe v USA, from the Ryder Cup to the Mosconi Cup to the Webber Cup and more, Europe v USA competions are always intensely competitive.
It's just a shame for this particular tournament that Chad Dawson couldn't have come down in weight to participate. That would have made it pretty even but as it stands now, Euros have the 2 best fighters in the tournament (Abraham and Kessler)

dirrell got robbed.... it was plain for everyone to see
:lol1:
I don't mind Yanks, most that I encounter though are arrogant cunts.
The way I've always looked at is that every country has good people and then they have their cunts.
I try to be apart of the former.
I don't blame you.
America always gets shit on TV shows etc.
Oh well, comes with the territory I guess.
If you not going to like me for being a Yank, then whatever.
Most Brits that argue with you so much loathe Yanks.
:nonono:
I was on Skype the other day talking to an American. The first thing she said to me was ' Do you hate Americans? '
:lol1:
in this forum it is more too do with individuals
but i alway feel that under-lying tension when its a brit vs an american fighter,not sure if thats just me

I'm not going to lie, I think about that sometimes when I talk to Europeans.
I think the Yanks and Brits have a love-hate relationship. We make fun of fish and chips and they make fun of cheeseburgers. All in all I think it's a good thing too. Some of the coolest people on this forum are Brits and Euros and I wouldn't have known unless I debated them.
