Patriotism and Boxing

[Dark Lord Al]

I dont cheer a guy just because he is English.

[El Kabong]

I obviously don't cheer based on where a fighter is from there are more than a few American fighters I despise.

Patriotism has very little place in boxing other than Joe Louis vs Max Schmelling II THAT was justified

[ElTerribleMorales]

in my case it all depends, obviously there are Puerto Rican fighters who I'm proud to say are from the island and yea a I get a bit patriotic, namely with Cotto, Calderon, Trinidad, Benitez, Gomez, Rosario, and Ortiz, but my favorite fighter is Mexican, and I'm a big fan of plenty fighters that aren't from Puerto Rico

[outspoken]

Yes, I tend to root for the latino fighters since I'm half mexican half brasilian. It's not always the case of course like when Trinidad fought Hopkins I'm a huge Hopkins fan so I was rooting for him. If the fighter is mexican I tend to root for him over other latino races but not always another example would be Cotto vs Margarito, both fights I was rooting for Cotto simply because I NEVER have liked Margarito. Something always rubbed me the wrong way about him (no homo). And much to the surprise of some fan boys, I'm a Cotto fan the man is pure class unlike some of his other fans.

Just a wild fucking guess Rant-cat, but perhaps Erik Morales?
