      Well said...it's OK to support your favourite fighter or even your own race, however, when you start disrespecting other fighter's just because of their nationality you've crossed the line.

        I mainly support boxers who's styles I enjoy, who fight the best, and might take some consideration for fighters who seem to have good character outside of the ring.

        I don't even care about my own white or American-ness so why would I care about anyone elses.

          Haha I like it...I adopt that ethos in my personal life too and it makes life go by much more smoothly. Human beings respond to warmth and positivity not fear and hate.

            only someone with a brain disease would think this?

            nationalism is considered normal, its actually important for a countries citizens to have it & as for racial bias pretty much everyone has some level of racial bias whether its just the very normal leaning for example among boxing fans towards people who look like u or who are like you or who u identify with, people are not like that android data from star trek

              Fat Dave is a special. I'm not a fan of Mexican style at all, BUT tune in to Fat Dave's events anyways

              Fat Dave is a TRUE Mexican star like Saul

              But did you support Paneer Amir?

              Top Soviet Bivol
              TBud
              Naoya
              Biblical Moses
              Junto
              Saul
              Buff Guy Artur
              Shakur
              Fat Dave
              Diego
              Haha it's funny how you've suddenly jumped on Fat Dave's bandwagon following his destruction of Yarde...told you he was GREAT didn't I?

              Trust me he's the next big Mexican star and will inherit Canelo's massive fan base as Bam Rodriguez is much smaller and fights in a less sexy division.

              Re Paneer, I definitely supported him but nothing out of the ordinary.

              Good to see Junto on that list...I'm super HIGH on that dude and it could be another razor thin Bivol vs. Beterbiev clash between him and Inoue.

                No, nationalism is not normal. Patriotism is normal. They are not the same thing.

                  Totally agree...I love puncher's hence I can appreciate the likes of Tank, Inoue, Beterbiev etc. However, I also appreciate the slick styles of the likes of Crawford, Usyk & Bivol too.

                      Tis is the way

                      boxing is a sport first not a war

                      as a box fan loyal to styles first, nation next
