It probably is but it can be a jab at others too. Like Aquacknis Chickenson, George Groves.

Dude, did you realized how corny this Aqacknis Chickenson name is what you use all the time? I don't want to be a party breaker but someone has to say it.

Pirog vs Jacobs in the US

Haye vs Mormeck in France

Sithchatchawal vs Monshipour in France

Valero vs Mosquera in Panama

Arguello vs Jim Watt in the UK

Arguello vs Escalera in Puerto Rico

Ingemar Johansson vs Floyd Patterson in the US

Max Schmeling vs Joe Louis in the US

Good examples.

Tim Bradley went to Nottingham to dethrown Junior Witter.

K-9 Bundradge travelled overseas to whip your boy Zaurbek Baysangurov

He's not "my boy".

It's dethrone not "dethrown".

In his first fight in the weight division, Joe Calzaghe went to the USA and took the Ring light heavyweight title from Bernard Hopkins.

Salido vs Lopez.


Great fight that lived up to the expectations, maybe even exceeded them.

Didn't Hagler whup a Brit in the UK for his title (s?) and had to run out of the ring because he was getting pelted by bottles and cans and chit?

LOL yeah!

How about Geale beating two Germans in Germany? That was damn impressive, especially considering Sturm had escaped in his home with two very dodgy decisions.

Let's not forget Johnny Nelson, a real up and down start to his career and at one stage he seemed nothing more than a journeyman. Then he won his world title, yes at home but a number of his defences came against european opponents in their home countries.
