Michael Buffer: The UK has the Most Knowledgeable Fans in Boxing

I know you'll bring up fights from the 1950s or some era you probably weren't even alive yet lol. But I'm talking about this era. Let's see. Ricky burns lost his 0 and title, Ricky Hatton lost his 0 and title, Carl Froch lost his 0 and title, Kell Brook lost his title and soul, Amir khan lost his 0 and title. Us yanks put a beating on you brits sometimes even in your own back yard. Lol No, just fights that happened over the last 30 years or so. Khan lost his 0 against Prescott, not an American. Froch lost his 0 against Kessler, not an American. Hatton held no title at Welter when he lost to Floyd. You should see the list of Brits beating Americans on your own soil. It's rare that you do it to us. Whereas it's pretty normal for us to do. Haha. I see you didn't want to name all the Americans that beat Brits because I would slaughter you with the huge list of Brits beating Americans. Give it a go if you dare, it would be good to laugh in your face. Just like i'm going to do with Brits taking titles off Americans... Lennox Lewis took the WBA and IBF off Holyfield. Forced Bowe to give him the WBC because he was a coward. Forced Tyson to give him the WBC because he was a coward as well. Calzaghe took the IBF off Lacy. Took the lineal Lightheavyweight title of Hopkins. Hamed took the IBF off Tom "Boom Boom" Johnson. Nigel Benn took the WBO title off Dewitt. Brook took the IBF title off Porter. Joshua took the IBF title off Martin. Lloyd Honeyghun took the WBC, WBA and IBF title of Don Curry. Frampton took the WBA title off Santa Cruz. Khan took the IBF title off Zab Judah. Ricky Hatton took the WBA title of Collazo. Michael Bentt took the WBO title of Tommy Morrison. Frank Bruno took the WBC title off Oliver McCall. Also Woods beat Rico Hoye for the vacant IBF title. Degale beat Dirrell for the vacant IBF title. Witter beat Corley for the vacant WBC title. So, you were saying?

Groves x1, Burnett x 2 We have loads of contenders to. Flanagan will likely win the WBO at 140, Taylor will likely win the WBC at 140 as well. Brook will probably get a title at 154.... burnett has vacated on of his title other than that you are on point. Not sure which route brook will go. Depends on what the winner of charlo vs hurd is going to do. If he vacates and moves up, he can easily snatch a belt. Other than that the winner of Ali Vs Munguia is a doable fight for brook.

who was the poster? If a poster has an opinion that Loma is a bum, that in no way means they do not like all European fighters. if someone has called Usyk and Bivol bums, that is allowed. Doesn't make you a racist. Look at what people say about Floyd, Roy, Bhop, Pernell-all ATG and 1st ballot HOF'ers. If people can call them a bum that are not black and they are not racist, why does it make someone that calls Loma, usyk or Bivol a bum a racist? This isn't you tube or other social media, It's NSB. If someone says Loma is abum that is their opinion and it should be ok. As for calling all eastern euros bums, that person has issue but you are no different than them if you ascribe their individual thought to everyone that you think looks like them. your overexaggerating to justify your anger that some people don't like GGG, Loma, Usyk and others. People don't have to like them. You know it's not just one or two people and one or two fighters. There's people that are completely shut down on Euro's and even say as much. You are turning a blind eye. Yes, there's plenty of posters and "fans" of every color that are racist and dislike fighters because of that. You labeled British fans as being dumb but turn a blind eye when someone is dumb towards Euro fighters. You've labeled DramaShow a racist and he's never actually said as something as bad as "he's only rated because he's (insert race here)".

There's posters in here who've confirmed they are black who have claimed Lomachenko is a bum. They even said the only reason people say he's good is because he's white. I think that's incredibly racist and ignorant. Those aren't the only fighters. I've seen Bivol and Usyk bizarely criticized and labeled bums by those posters and others too despite never seeing them fight. It's not just this forum too hence the fact I didn't say that in my original post. Go onto YouTube and see the comments. Go onto social media. There's a lot that claim Lomachenko is a bum and all Euro white fighters are hyped because of skin color. You know this if you've read the comments but you turn a blind eye to run with a narrative and are fine with the perpetration. who was the poster?

This is a lie used by you and others to justify your false narrative. Whenever you've been called out on this you turn tail and have never shown that black posters hate all euro fighters. Prove your assertion. The criticism these fighters get is fair. When you can't refute the criticism, your feelings get hurt and that makes you lie and make it about race. Just like you did in responding to my post. Really disgusting and shameful. The truth is unless the poster has told you he is black you have no idea of knowing. Sadly, you and others have decided that the way you tell a poster is black is if they criticize GGG, like Floyd or watch one of the you tube channels run by a black dude.

being from the UK i I have to say there are a lot of clueless fans too especially those who follow matchroom I see some outright thick as f*cking pig sh*t comments on facebook articles by british fans most only go to a fight or order the PPV because its an excuse to get pissed and wouldnt know a jab from a hook now you hear the women are interested a lot more too cos they want to sword swallow AJ's man meat

You know it's not just GGG. It's every white or Euro fighter and it's not always fair criticism either. It's also very hypocritical.

wow traitor. the uk is definitely not sending us their best fans. they are sending us their rapists, criminals, etc...

black fans and Mexican fans that fairly criticize GGG's resume bad, pro white and English fans that don't good. Got it! I see Captain Obvious does have an NSB account. You know it's not just GGG. It's every white or Euro fighter and it's not always fair criticism either. It's also very hypocritical.

Groves x1, Burnett x 2 We have loads of contenders to. Flanagan will likely win the WBO at 140, Taylor will likely win the WBC at 140 as well. Brook will probably get a title at 154.... In that case whoever wins Joshua vs Wilder will have more. :boxing:

Every fan base has incredibly retarded fans. There's a lot of pro black/anti white fans that are some of the most miserable and pathetic fans any sport has ever seen and even some of the Mexican fans on here like Mexican Puppet, Ghost Rider, Kidbazooka etc; which should make any fan feel ashamed about Boxing "fans". British fans in general are a knowledgeable and respectful bunch. Along with the Mexican and Mexican/American fan base probably the strongest in the sport currently. I think the Mexican fan base does seem to be the most knowledgeable of all though. black fans and Mexican fans that fairly criticize GGG's resume bad, pro white and English fans that don't good. Got it! Thats like three of four posters, that doesn't make up the UK boxing public. I see Captain Obvious does have an NSB account.

Am I missing something? Joshua X3 (i'm not counting the IBO ok), DeGale, Saunders, Frampton, Selby, Yafai = 8 Wilder, Benavidez, Jermell Charlo, Ali, Hurd, Spence Jr., Ramirez, Garcia, Easter Jr, Russell Jr, Roman =11 Groves x1, Burnett x 2 We have loads of contenders to. Flanagan will likely win the WBO at 140, Taylor will likely win the WBC at 140 as well. Brook will probably get a title at 154....

Well they are dumb enough to believe that so.. /End thread :lol1:

Buffer must not be a forum member. If he read the stuff from some of the UK fans on NSB he’d realize they have many of the dumbest fans the sport has ever seen. He should spend time reading the stuff dramashow, Tyrone biggums, junior gong, and some others. Thats like three of four posters, that doesn't make up the UK boxing public.

Knowledge of boxing, or like...in general? In every way. When I talk to Americans, I feel like I lose a lot of brain cells or really have to dumb myself down. It’s a shame because I generally find Americans to be friendly, polite and positive people to be around, but I’m usually astounded by their lack of knowledgeable on many things, it’s incredible. I don’t mean they’re unintelligent either, it’s just most Americans I know and meet seem exist in a tiny bubble.

Randomly how has no terrorist dude tried to blow up some sh^t at a boxing event yet? How good is security at UK fights cuz that sh^t seems ripe these days with all the nutty sh^t going on in the UK. probably cos the uk doesnt have terror attacks as bad as u americans like to think the ariana grande one is pretty much the only one of its kind can u name a terror attack happen at a sporting event in the uk ? if u cannot could you admit how silly your post sounded ?

Yeah, sure. Give me the times an American took a title off a Brit and i'll do the same. I know you'll bring up fights from the 1950s or some era you probably weren't even alive yet lol. But I'm talking about this era. Let's see. Ricky burns lost his 0 and title, Ricky Hatton lost his 0 and title, Carl Froch lost his 0 and title, Kell Brook lost his title and soul, Amir khan lost his 0 and title. Us yanks put a beating on you brits sometimes even in your own back yard. Lol

Since yall want to count belts and feel good about it. Lets talk about how many times a UK fighter has taken a belt from a US fighter and vice versa. Yeah, sure. Give me the times an American took a title off a Brit and i'll do the same.

the US also has more champions and also always beat up UK fighters on the world stage. facts baby This comment goes to show how ignorant and uneducated you are. Go and check fights that have happened at world level over the last 30 years between Brits and Yanks and see who comes out on top the vast majority of the time.

That's my biggest pet peeve with the sport. I give those fans slightly more of a pass since they are making an effort to attend the fights but I have no respect when you meet those morons online or in general and you know they wouldn't go to a fight live at all. I went to one fight in Texas. Marquez-Diaz I. Definitely a good fan base out there too. In general everywhere I've watched fights I've found the crowd to have been good and a lot better representation of Boxing fans than I see on this page for example lol. Have you been to any fights in LA? The Forum is great so to is the Stub Hub. Staples isn't quite as good but it's in a great area so your pre and post fight options are great. Yeah they’re just straight up idiots... I hate those guys that talk loads of sh*t about boxing but never ever actually go to shows. I understand going to certain shows are expensive but I remember when I was younger and couldn’t afford flights, hotels etc so I just went to local shows in either Liverpool or Manchester, or local small hall and amateur shows. And nah I’m yet to go to a fight in Cali, the Stub Hub looks a really good venue for boxing I’d like to go there. I was torn between going to Gonzalez-SSR 2 and GGG-Canelo but I decided to go to the latter instead.
