Originally posted by S.G. View PostA fighter worth mentioning in this subject, although not included in The Ring's official P4P listings, is Anselmo Moreno.
He fought Cermeno in Venezuela, Patrac in France, Monshipour in France and Sydorenko in Germany twice.
Not as great a spread of countries as some of the others but they were all very tough fights in the opponents' backyards for probably not very much money, and Europe is a long way away from Panama after all.

Originally posted by SNVDoublePunch! View PostYeah, that one confuses me because he is listed in boxrec as BOTH a Filipino world champion AND an American world champion. He did represent the U.S. from what they have as an amateur in multiple games. Did he gain U.S. citizenship, does he have dual citizenship? Something like that? Or did boxrec just screw up their listings? Very confusing to me.
But yeah, frequently he identifies himself as a Filipino. He always used the national anthem of the Philippines and he frequently fights in the Pinoy Pride series...
