    Doesn't really matter where the guy is from to me. A fighter is a fighter.

          I come from a small country with very few big stars so I root for them I must admit.

          With that being said I like to consider myself an honest and a tiny bit knowledgeable boxing-fan so I also enjoy seeing a good fighter beat the one from my country.

                ****, I voted for "yes, I only like dudes where I am from" by accident....I am Eastern European, but I like fighters from everywhere around the world...Calzaghe, Margarito, Cotto, Pavlik, Kessler, etc.

                    I voted no. I am a fan of boxing, not riding coattails. I like fighters for what they bring to the table, I don't give a **** ass where they are from. They have to have bad intentions and the willingness to fight anyone.

                    No bull****, no playing around, no looking for a fighter from my country who I feel fights for my country in some strange representation of me.
