Dude it's all fun and games. We are just messing around. If you want to sit down and say nothing in a fight, go to Germany,

To you it's disrespectful, you're a sensitive guy obviously.

Like I said, it's no big deal to me but disrespect is disrespect. Boxing fans are different depending on the country, they all have their qualities and defects.

Does everyone in the UK refer to Americans as "yanks" or is that some type of derogatory word?

Tis very common indeed.

[Bomb_onya_Madre]

the word Yanks or yankee is should not be taken as an insult even though a lot of people try to use this as an insult it means north american people who helped end slavery it should be considerd quite a praise which is im sure how a yank takes it

[Stanly Ketchel]

Yanks don't seem to have a sense of humour or irony so I guess I should understand why you'd find a chant like "Who are you" to be offensive

Diggz anoher euro UK bum destroyed, how do you carry on Diggz? Hoping and praying, bum after bum, this stiff could be the one.....hahaha. "Klev", "Pricey", Groves, Degale, they're all the same, a bunch of bum stiff brits. The only one to be respected is Froch. Diggs I'm tired of watching brit bums get smashed on my screen, Klev, get real. Diggz British boxing is the minor leagues.

[Stanly Ketchel]

Yeah they do boo the national anthem, I don't know why Yanks especially take that so personally. I mean the boxers talk all kinds of **** before hand but you guys only get offended when someone boos a song

Its just pantomime stuff really

Diggz its always about yanks this yanks that, well yank this, you never talk boxing, whevener a brit bum steps up to the big stage he gets smashed, then your focus is on yank this yank that. Darren Barker is warming up that belt for GGG. Keep calm and carry on Diggz, haha. I fancy ur a right proper wanker haha.

You never talk boxing. You only talk about "Diggz". Look at all your posts about me, you need professional help!

Okay, so I'm assuming it's common bad then.

You need me to stay relevant kid, otherwise what would you do in your free time? I have never seen anything like this. I got a thread dedicated to me on NSB and I have my very own stalker in Ketchel. Who knew that I could provoke such emotion?

[NEETzsche]

it's all banter. a bit of needle adds to the excitement of the event. kovalev responded in the best possible way.

booing the american anthem is hilarious precisely because of how upset you guys get. that whole flag worshipping culture you have is viewed as perverse here in europe.

[Matisyahu]

You really don't watch sports outside the US, do you?

nope.
