    if every belt in boxing were in eastern euro hands these guys would suddenly love MMA

    Plain old resentment from people who wish the "baddest man on the planet" was still some guy from down the tracks because it makes them feel tough by association
    Nice breakdown. For me, that fight tonight was the very definition of schooling. The waving off and the stare down. Walters was his child in there. Unreal.

      Canelo looks like a ginger Spanish person... So obviously White Iberian ancestry.

        Very similar. Yeah, I mean white doesn't mean white American who drives a truck and drinks beer and goes to Nascar races. There's another color associated with that- red. White can be any nationality. It's all about heritage.

            Dude I don't think anybody can say that on here anymore without receiving a severe backlash unless it's Tyrone. We know he's just trolling. Haha

              What? There's still plenty of euro bums. It just rolls off the tongue. Just like there's plenty American bums. Loma just happens not to be one

                  Yeah, there's no way anybody can say that with a straight face. Haha.

                    Thanks. Bums come in all forms. I think Tyrone and a few of the race baiters got to me, man. Haha.
