    you euros are so sensitive. it's really funny.

    Very few people over here don't like Adamek. Lennox came over here and beat everyone's ass, that's how you get American fight fans' respect.

    I like anyone who challenges themselves against the best opponents possible and tries to rule their division with an iron fist. From there, I like aggressive styles but don't necessarily favor brawlers. I hate pitty pat defensive specialists that aren't aggressive (ie derrick gainer).

        I root for the boxer, however, Pac is an exception as he is the first time I could really root for a Filipino.

        I think people rooting for their race is fine, its a connection between you and the boxer making things a little more personal.

          kostya Tszyu was one of my favorite fighters. I also like Vassily Jirov. (this is for the sensitive Euros.

          I don't care about race, I'm a personality type.

                sensitve? nah just agnry at americans for never giving our fighters respect. the thing is you americans have such a superiority complex. like europeans would be any more sensitive than americans hahaha you guys seem to think were all a bunch of ***gy 5 foot tall 100 pounders. Is Tomasz Adamek a sensitve ***gy european? yeah i bet thats exacly what you guys think. I guess Lennox Lewis is nothing but a sensitive euro ****** becuase he talks with a brittish accent right? ignorant dumb mofo yanks.

                      i'll admit it. i root for my countrymen. the only reason i wouldn't is if the boxer has bad character. if my my countryman is dirty or disrespectful without reason, i can't overlook that. after all, i'm a boxing fan.
