The unsportsmanlike, prejudiced attitude of some American media people toward British and European fighters.
I just watched the Showtime broadcast of Hatton vs. Tackie from 2003. Throughout the fight, Al Bernstein was discrediting Hatton's domination by saying that Tackie was old and shot at age 30. Recently, the same Al Bernstein was commenting on a Showtime fight between Holt and the same Tackie. He was giving Holt full credit for defeating the now age 34 Tackie, without any talk of him being old and shot.
Calzaghe, the Klitschkos, Hatton, and all the other European figihters take a lot of unfair negative comments from broadcasters like Max Kellerman, Al Bernstein, Wally Matthews, and Jason Abelson.Last edited by The Hammer; 06-05-2008, 11:42 AM.
