Have you ever found you have a really random supporting of a fighter?

Timothy Bradley. The first fight I ever watched of his was vs. Alexander, and it was underwhelming. Then he fights Casamayor and I was like, "WTF is this bull**** matchup?" Two days ago, I watched his fight against Peterson and re-watched his fight with Devon, and the dude can fight when the opportunity arises. His fight with Lamont was very entertaining, and it showed me why some feel he is the best at 140. It's unfortunate that all he's really known for is his headbutting, which in the instance of the Devon fight, wasn't all his fault.Comment

Really big Casamayor fan. I was even rooting for him against Marquez...1 of my favorite fighters.
Chavez jr currently. Not because I like him, but because he gets so much flak while Canelo gets passes for the same ****. I still believe at least Chavez fights people, he goes to the body well & has far better stamina than carrot top. Cintron? Really?
Almost identical to Floyd getting ****ted one for cherrypicking while Manny strolls in on his high horse & does it far worse, usually at mannyweight.Comment

I apologize for the vagueness of the topic title, the limit on topic title length makes it hard to ask the question I was trying to. Basically, have you ever found that you end up supporting/liking a random fighter, say on an undercard or something like that, an opponent of one of the fighters you've always supported? I'll give some examples.
1.) Daniel Ponce de Leon - This guy has so many flaws it's unreal, but I can't help being a fan.
2.) Steven Luevano - Random one, but I'd class myself a fan.
3.) Jesus Chavez - The one who was involved in the Levander Johnson tragedy. I saw a documentary about how he was having to fight to not be deported, etc, kinda made me a fan. Didn't last long though as he lost every fight I saw him in.
4.) Leonardo Zappavigna - Liked the look of this fighter on the Cotto-Mayorga undercard, and the Zappa alias, just a shame he had a bad 2011, I didn't last long as a fan...
Henry Brusseles - thought he had skills too bad he had no chin
Jose Hernandez- guy has given Mikey Perez Mickey Bey Luis Ramos Jr all they could handle and I quickly became a fan of his. Just got signed to Espinoza Boxing so hopefully they right his careerComment

Paulie Malignaggi. I'm a fan of his boxing and the way he handles himself outside of the ring. He's a true warrior and is always willing to fight anyone. He's also a very good boxing analyst.Comment
