    Everyone knows that Yuri Foreman wont be a big star and isnt as popular as Victor Ortiz etc. Not only that but Victor Ortiz is mexican, which his fans wants him to be a warrior and not quit.

      True. It's a religion not a race.

      And you are Slavic like me.

          Just saw the fight and Yuri took a pounding in there and was hopelessly behind in a 10 round fight after 6, there was no way he was going to ko Wolak and didn't seem like he could change the fight so I won't knock him too much if he didn't want to fight anymore.

          Devon is another story because he hadn't taken so many clean hard punches as if Tim can deliver a very hard punch anyway. It seemed like he was hoping to try and escape with a cheap draw before the scores got any wider if anything.

            Well my father is fully Ukrainian, and Ukrainian Orthodox but my mothers side is ***ish but has always been in Ukraine.

            Israel considers it a race and they are paying for my studies abroad so ill play along with them

              Nor did I have a problem with Ortiz quitting in the Maidana fight, because I could see he was getting beaten up. I did have a problem with what Kellerman said after Ortiz-Maidana. Max has never been in that situation in a fight, so who is he to judge? And Ortiz has faced a lot of adversity and poverty in his life, while Max was born with a silver spoon.
              I couldn't agree more.

              Every fight where I've seen a fighter quit it's because he's getting completely bombed on. And it's generally a slow death because the fighter is tough enough to take the punishment, but when you cant minimize that punishment with some kind of movement, it's just a slow painful beat down that will have long term effects.

              As for Kellerman, i honestly wouldn't feel all that bad if he just disappeared some how, some way. I generally hate weasel-like men that are over opinionated lol.

                Cant find that silver spoon
                I did a wiki search and a couple google searches and can't really confirm a silver spoon. He doesn't really come off to as overly wealthy. He went to hunter college high school btw. It doesn't really officially indicate anything, and anyone can act it up a bit but.. Kellerman looked pretty middle of the pack in that rap video he came out with.

                  Yes it sounds like he was a basic middle class family

                  If Tunney's stereotype that all ***s were rich was true, then i would be sitting front row at every fight

                      Compare Kellerman's comfort while growing up with affluent parents in Greenwich Village, to the circumstances that Victor Ortiz grew up in.

                      If I remember correctly, someone on HBO said that Victor was homeless for a time in his teens and had to sleep outdoors.
