Losing Respect for UK Fans

[ShoulderRoll]

As an American I get into it frequently with the fans of Russian/Eastern Euro boxers.

But they at least have confidence that their fighters can beat everyone and want to see them do so in bouts matching the best against the best.

Some of these English muppet fans actually condone the cowardice of Eddie Hearn and prefer to see Dillian Shyte fight Wilder, instead of urging Anthony Joshua to prove who the real HW champion is by unifying the belts as soon as possible.

It's disgusting.

I notice the same thing too. I've never seen that attitude from anyone else really.

Stevenson gets ****ted over here and gets called Chickenson as much as anywhere else, even by local media.

Between the Clenelo stans and the UK ones on here it's become an even more insufferable forum than it normally is

Comes pretty close to the ‘f.lomo and p.actard’ era doesn’t it in terms of utter blind ignorance

Never in the history of boxing have I seen a nation condoning cowardice in this way. Anyone with a pair of eyes can see that Hearn is trying to protect his darling.

The clock is ticking for Frank Bruno 2.0. Can't wait for the belt to go back to a true champ.

So Wilder should have his ridiculous demands met otherwise AJ is a coward?

Oh, right.

I guess every fighter should demand half of the money even if they don't generate anywhere near the same as their opponent.

I agree...and I know Mexicans/Canadians/South Americans fans and Russian fans get into it..but at least they will pressure a fighter they like into taking fights. You can be a c level fighter in the UK and be a millionaire cause their fans will root for anything.
I don't hate it for the fighters, they play a dangerous game and should be compensated for properly. Their fans would literally rather watch A.J fight a local bum than a threatening foreigner. I've said this for years, and this isn't knew to the UK..this was a stereotype back in the middle 20th century that a U.K fighter would get the belts and hold it hostage.

Can you tell me those British fighters that held belts hostage please?

[Sid-Knee]

Bunch of weirdo fans. Anthony Joshua is a legit black supremacist[I'm black and consider myself pro-black but i've heard for a while that A.J is extremely pro-black) and they still root for them. They have no shame.

Brits are weirdo fans? Said by an American?

Irony to the core.

I don't even care who thinks who will win. Whether you lean on one side of the fence or the other...........why wouldn't you want to see the number 1 guy fight the number 2 guy? I just don't understand it.

[Johnston]

Don't care for either but I do find it weird how they seem to be using whyte as a way to keep Joshua from fighting wilder, being so obvious about it too

For some reason uk fans have real low standards for there fighters.
