I'm tired of seeing winning fighters thanking god

Just mute your TV after the fight, or turn it off.

Barrett, Holyfield, Byrd, and Manfredy were like that. That **** is annoying as hell!

i remember manfredy he used to be one tough motherf he even used to called himself angel "el diablo" manfredy
but after he converted he went in to a spirl downfall

I don't see what the problem is that some of you peeps are complaining about. Let boxers thank who they want to thank. If a man thanks his mother in every fight he goes through win or lose, some of peeps would respect that. But for some reason when someone wants to give God his due respect suddenly your offended by that? I don't understand that. Personally, I have heard boxers thank God after facing pretty bad loses (decision losses and knockout losses). They thanked God for their health and whatever else and kept it movin.

Nobody's perfect, and for some of you to try and point out someone elses past flaws when you likely have your own doesn't speak to well of you. Let the boxers who wanna praise God do it, you don't like don't listen to the interviews, simple as that.

Never did I say I was offended, only that I was entertained, and not at the fact that the boxer thanked everyone and said he loved god. It was at the fact that he blatently ignored the interviewer, and kept saying what he wanted to, rather than answer his questions. It was like he knew he was a punk ass low tier commentator and just pretty much ignored him completely. I wish I had it on my computer, that interview is somethin else.

This isn't a religion bash thread, btw.

I know you are a hardcore christian, and I didn't mean to offend you or any other christian with this. I am not annoyed at the fact that he thanks god, thanking god is fine, however when you ignore the interview that puts you in the public eye and ignore the questions, continue to do your own thing, over and over, it's funny and annoying at the same time. I do not mind it at all, in fact it entertains me. That monte barrett interview made me laugh so hard I had taken a sip of some water right before the 3rd question, and spit it all out mid-laugh in like a mist right afterwards.




ps-what the heck beck is a cheap bastard he butted him it was crystal clear. he did it smoothly though. holyfield style.

[FrankJack]

oh, I see,I misunderstood you then. Yeah, it is rude to ignore interviewers when they're trying to go their job, no doubt.

Man, Barret must of still been stunned from all the hard shots he took in this fight cause he was making no sense at all! It was like all his cynapses were firing at once. I lost some respect for Barret after that interview though.

Maybe he didn't hear the intreviewer.

Anyweyz, the only thing that bothers me when they thank the Lord is that the second after that, they ramble about how great they are and how they're the best. I mean you thank God one second and praising yourself the next. Where's the humility? Take Bronco Mckart for example. The guy asks his opponents to say a prayer with him after the fight. At least theres some credability with that instead of fighters who pretend to be religious for the cameras.
