    Do any of you care where a fighter is from?

    barring a guy from your home country, do you base your like for a fighter by where they hail? all this bull**** is getting ******! i like who i like as a fighter, and really dont care where they are from. the boxing is what i am about. it is natural to root for a guy from your home country, but i don't see a problem of liking a fighter from abroad what so ever! i mean most of my current fav's are not american.

      I dont care where a fighter is from or his ethnicity.

      The bias **** is annoying to me, I dont understand it.

          Sure, if they are my countrymen then I'll pay more attention but besides that I dont care if the guy is from Cyprus or South Africa, the only time I care about where a guy is from is when he's from my country.

              NO!!!! as long as they give great fights. but my favorites are mexicans and filipinos. they go there to brawl unlike african americans who only talks alot but less action. no racist here but it is the truth now adays. i wish they bring back those times when holyfield, bowe, tyson, joe lewis, ali, frazier, etc etc too many. now those guys has less talk but more brawl (although some talk alot but still gives a good fight) unlike the ones we got today.
