    I don't want to say British fans are delusional all the time but...they get caught up in the hype often.

        and by getting the job done do you mean getting a decision which you didn't remotely deserve?

        look at the corners - as the fight was closing devin's corner was frantic and clearly worried. kotelniks corner was collected and had a very positive atmosphere to it. you could sense the worry once the fight was over. who landed the cleaner, more effective shots? BTW lederman is completely done as a judge. that is the worst card i've ever seen him have.

          Is anyone hyped worldwide, especially in the beginning of their career? Outside of one name, nobody comes to my mind. Usually it is the fans from the country of origin that give their fighter a methodically insentient support and credit for things they are yet to achieve.


          Amir Khan was hyped as the next big thing BEFORE he even completed olympics and turned pro.

                    just giving an example of american fight fans being "caught up in the hype"

                    There is no point in making blanket statements about all brits hyping up their fighters when Americans , Mexicans , Ricans etc all do it

                      He has a point though. A bit of variety wouldn't be a bad thing.
