all in all what our boxers ("eastern europeans") bring to the table opposite to american and latin-american boxers? most of the time its a very skilled and experienced boxers with high quality technique with great amateur careers or at least national team members. by the way same as cubans.
its pleasure to watch them fighting. its much more beautiful fights than brawler/street fight styles some of "local" boxers demonstrate. who can US market provide with such a top background? just 5-6 boxers plus another 5-6 from Latin America (there could be another 10 prospects up coming as well). Eastern european market brings at least the same amount of top quality boxers as well. They cant claim fair share of this market just yet - but since its free market and spectators/fans choose by their wallets who to watch and follow. As to the personality - non-American boxers most of the time a polite and open people. they can thrash talk but not as much as others.
Dont forget South-East Asian boxers - they have their share as well.
I understand AW kind of frustration - there are not many boxers behind his and Floyd generation to take over.
At the end of the day beter boxers wins. Saying go back to your countries - is admitting that american boxers loosing turf to better boxers.

Kovalev leaned over and called Silka a n-gger when he knocked him down.
I guess that was innocent too.
Kovalev shut his mouth soon as he saw Stevenson,then ran from his own post-fight interview.

Lool Ward can't win these guys...
Gives a respectful post fight interview with Kovalev: This guy is boring, the PPV will bomb.
Says something nationalistic to stir up interest in the fight: This guy is racist, why did he say this.
Ironic part is majority of the people complaining about Ward's comments are some of the most biased posters on this forum. I'm sure they conveniently disregard the fact Ward is half Irish and considered his father his hero.
Nationalistic pride is supported and promoted here on a regular, now that Ward brings it up it's a problem....

Eastern Europeans poured into this Country for generations.
