    As we all know, Americans don't blindly support American fighters. Other countries are usually solidly behind their fellow countrymen...especially AGAINST Americans.
    Uhhh, no.

    Like I said I can name you times foreign fighters robbed in USA more than vice versa. Try me

      Everything about Kovalev is Russian - his broken English, his attitude, his culture ( how he doesn't care about being called "the R word" whereas Americans and whites in the West haven been taught to be labeled as such is just as bad as being labeled murdered or rapist. Haha I LOVE how Kovalev trolls the race obsessed people in the West).

        I was referring to people talking about foreigners stealing their jobs and in this instance it meant a foreign fighter having his win stolen


        So yes if u got the reference then jobbed would serve as a pun, ie have two meanings

          Wot?? It's a legit criticism. If ward were fighting in Russia u think he would agree to three Russian judges and Russian ref??


          Seriously can you ever see that happening, and if it did, wouldn't people point it out??

            Kovo has fought enough here in the states to get a fair shake. Ward is a poosie and would never leave the us let alone the west coast. Look at the super 6. When has a prime ameeican fighter gone to fight another fighter in his home country? It's super rare. Props to spence

              Seems like a stretch...but I'm no literary expert.

                Are you an American? If you are, you should know how popular the jokes are about foreigners "stealing jobs."

                You're right it's not the most obvious of puns, but it definitely could be considered a pun if somebody applied it correctly.

                  I agree with what you are saying. Ward will be fighting Kovalev with three American judges and an American referee. Would Ward go to Russia and fight Kovalev with three Russian judges and a Russian referee? American officials are no more or less fair than other countries. They often rob visiting boxers from other countries.

                      I'm listening.

                      I didn't say us judges are great...in a close fight tho, foreign fighters are more likely to get a fair shake here.

                      In the us, popularity is more important than nationality. In other countries, the 2 go hand in hand. I don't see how that can be argued.
