We are more dedicated to the sport. We love our fighters and have respect for them win or lose. We will cheer for them win or lose. Look at Jeff Lacy, as soon as he tasted defeat he was labelled as a bum. You don't get that over here. I'm looking forward to seeing Jennings back on the domestic level and following his career more. Even though he lost, I respect his courage, and heart. He deserves more exposure back at home.

good post

We stay up untill 6am watching live fights and when our boys cross the pond for a big fight we go over in the hundereds or even thousands! Would u Yanks do the same?

Not a bait thread either btw guys im serious and just asking ok

I have had some cracking nights over the last 20 years staying up with my mates until silly o'clock to watch the boxing.The first one I stayed up for was Tyson vs Bruno 1.Its a top way of extending the evening beyond pub closing hours as well,although I have in the past got as far as the fighters touching gloves and falling asleep seconds later tko'd by tiredness and beer consumption.

It's truly great that you show support for one of your boys as much as you do. No doubt that it takes dedication to stay up and even make the trip to the US to see the fight.

To be honest though, (I'm undoubtedly going to get some heat for this,) The reason The U.S. isn't as loyal to one single fighter is simple: We have so many other great fighters. If one fails, we have more than enough other boxers to focus our attention on. The United States is the Boxing Kingdom, it's the only place a fighter really becomes a somebody. That's why it's such a special moment for every other country when their fighter comes to the U.S. because that means they've arrived on the World Stage.

It's the same for the U.K. and other countries, though on a smaller scale however. I'm sure you have boxing shows featuring your national fighters there. Your boy loses, the next fight will feature another good fighter still undefeated or showing something special. And gradually you will lean towards them.

That make sense?
