Addressing the issue of British fighters

[kafkod]

Ruiz came off a brutal KO the fight before and was 280lbs+, you're not going to sell that to anyone with even a pedestrian knowledge of boxing and there is a damn good reason why no one viewed it as anything spectacular. Even over here. It was seen as a job getting done and nothing more. Fury/Wilder has been the defacto British boxing performance but its largely an anomaly TBH.

Was it AJ's fault that Ruiz trained for an eating competition, rather than a boxing match, and showed up for the weigh in looking like a sumo wrestler?

Did AJ know Andy was going to show up obese and unfit to fight properly?

The facts are that AJ came back from a crushing defeat and won the rematch convincingly, and it was one of the biggest fights if the last 2 years.

The two best heavyweights on the planet are Brits.

Its absolutely not his fault. But its the same reason you dont hear anyone took about Lewis' second fight with McCall. Wasn't exactly Lewis fault that McCall was drugged out of his mind and crying in the ring but its not going to be regarded by many as some amazing win either.

Not going to deny it was a massive fight either.

Josh Kelly? For me he lacks power and won’t do much at the top level.

Yea that's him, he seems to get caught while showboating a lot too

B- troll thread.

Legit made me lol at Brook over Porter being a "recent win".

Lets not forget that Lennox over Mike W. And let's forget about Lennox's affiliations with Canada & Jamaica.

Josh Taylor - Prograis?

I was referencing the examples that the TS listed.

He sure is, but if the Scots get another independence referendum, he may not be representing the UK any more. They are very pissed off about Brexit north of the border.

****, I forgot all about that.

Well, y'all still got HWs.

****, I forgot all about that.

Well, y'all still got HWs.

So that's an Irishman, 2 Nigerians, a Jamaican .... and David Price.

No, wait, make that 2 Irishmen, I forgot about Hughie.

(The loser of Fury vs AJ, of course, will become a Brit as soon as the fight is over)

As it turned out, AJ had an easy night. But he didn't know it was going to turn out like that when he opted for an immediate rematch, and it took real character to suck up such a humiliating defeat without making any excuses, and come straight back with a new game plan.
