"Try fighting outside your own country for once"

[drez24]

What is the point of this thread? Lacy was the one who manned up and left his own country. Sure, he got beat. Badly. But hey, he was willing to go across the pond and seek to fight the best. There are very few fighters who are willing to do that. Why all the hate on Lacy? Because a few people on this forum hate british fighters? Lame.

I'm by no means a fan of boxing for a number of reasons that I won't list here because I'm not here to troll. This will certainly be my one and only post on this forum but I wanted to attempt to put the case for Joe Calzaghe. I'm well aware of what Joe has been doing in the last few years because he's from the same city as me, Cardiff, and he has a similar background, one of my parents is Italian. I'm a big sports fan and Joe is regularly interviewed on local radio. It seems that Joe is getting some some stick for being unwilling to travel. The fact is that he has been seeking a career defining fight for many years, he has been fighting and beating anyone put in front of him and looking and waiting for the fight that would settle his legacy and give him the big purse he deserved. Please don't ridicule him for not fighting outside of the UK, he would have been only too pleased to, but no-one in the USA was interested in him and he's also suffered badly with injuries at the wrong time. Thats why he did so well in this last bout, he had his chance and he was going to make damn sure he took it.

Bloodshed is a ****ing wanker. Nothing more needs to be said.

i cant even read bloodshed's posts and im pretty sure he cant read mine!!

His argument is basically based on SIZE. of course they want american viewers to see the fight America is BIGGER so they have a BIGGER audience to sell advertising to. Well, he's certainly got us there. America is, without a doubt, much much much bigger than Britain. He's won people, we might as well all go home.

just read that back to myself - if i cant read bloodsheds posts how do i know his argument? i can read the quotes on other peoples posts. im sure everyone knew that anyway but i just wanted to get it cleared up
