Manny Steward is a disrespectful ****

[Shogunofharlem1]

What the **** were his comments about last night?

When Murray was getting beat up by Rios but still throwing back, Steward says:

"This often happens because British fighters aren't used to the hard kinda fights"

"Murray has really impressed me tonight with his bravery. Something that most British fighters don't have."


WTF?! What is that based on?

As a Brit, and one of the first to criticize the quality of british boxing (coaching mainly), I am not biased in the slight, I do, MUCH prefer the American and Latino style of fighting. I hate how the coaches are in this country (too heavily on fitness, not on pure skills), but the fighters are not to blame.

BUT, whatever the British fighters' shortcomings are, it is NOT heart, determination, courage or bravery!

all the way back to COOPER.

His comments were disrespectful and had NO basis whatsoever.

I didnt hear him say it so I cant say for sure but he could be just mixing up british fighters with the stereotypical "eurobum" who goes nowhere and is perfectly happy building up garbage wins and calling themselves a champ ex Sven ottke. This is a guess though, he could very well mean British fighters lol.
