The notion that Andre Ward would be more liked if he had a more offensive style...

    If some of the most popular fighters in boxing history weren't black, you might have a point...instead you come off as having a persecution complex.

        Yep.

        "I like it when Conor does it because he's just doing it to promote himself" is the most common reason i've seen by boxing and MMA fans.

            I've seen -Kev- express his fandom of many fighters of all different backgrounds.

            You on the other hand, you're only a fan of GGG, Kovalev, Lomachenko and Wlad.

            Interesting. Btw that red K you sent me wasn't witty or funny at all. You should be ashamed of yourself.

                He's ******ed, most posters who see me post know I root for many fighters. He keeps getting temporarily banned for the same reason, his black and white BS. I just think he's so filled with prejudice that he hates that i'm not black but would root for black fighters, and I noticed he especially hates it when non-black fans do this. It really boils his blood.

                I rooted for Wlad over Joshua, Loma over Walters, Canelo over both Trout and Lara, Bellew over Haye, when Kovalev vs Stevenson were about to do a purse bid I was rooting for Kovalev and still would if they fight now. Those are just recent fights. Hype job would never root for the black guy in a black vs white match.

                      Right. And then let's look at the actual demographic of fans in both sports before you start up with your race baiting again. UFC fans scream and the press conferences and disrespect the fighters openly. They are usually in their late teens and early twenties and crush a lot of puss. Boxing fans tend to be older and more respectful. Now if we look at both sports, which one would be more likely to embrace the idea of an ******* screaming on a mic and talking **** about everybody.
