    do you root for fighters based on race or nationality? (anonymous poll)

    this poll is 100% anonymous. others cannot see your vote. i would like for people to vote truthfully. the reason i ask is because i watch a lot of videos on the YTBC (youtube boxing community) and it seems like a lot of these characters are extremely race biased personalities. guys like dontae's boxing nation, 78sports, barbershop conversations and a few others really enjoy putting non-black fighters on blast,its like they thrive off of it and it fuels their hatred. now, dont get me wrong there are some YT boxing personalities both white, black and latino who are biased and some who aren't.

    racism in this thread will not be tolerated i will report u to the mods if you get out of line!

    Naw, **** is dumb. Oh look, they are the same skin color as me. I'd root for them no matter what. I like style more than race.

        i was rooting for povetkin over wilder even tho me and wilder are both americans but u are right its more of a style thing plus i dont like how much wilder was babied by haymon so thats why i was going for him.

        i am also going for kovlave instead of ward because i think kovalev has a much brighter future to make boxing more exciting,ward is boring and ugly style.

          maybe so,but there is not reason to.

          no one can see the votes,not even the sites admins.

            Not me. It's the only reason I like or dislike a fighter

                Rocky Marciano, Jake lamotta, wladimir's klitchko, Tyson fury, Alexander povetkin...all great fighters. None of them tried to demand a check for not fighting like wilder. Wilder wants his fighters purse for not fighting. His kind are always trying to get something for nothing

                  Doesnt make a bit of difference to me. If I like their style ill watch, however if they turn out to be douche bags thats when I stop liking them. Canelo for example.

                    Nationality sometimes plays a part, yes.

                    Most of my favourite fighters are British, but it's not crucial. Of my 5 favourite fighters, 3 are Brits and the other two are from Mexico and Cuba.

                    Race is irrelevant, don't understand how anyone can root for fighters based on skin colour.
