I was completely rooting for Cleverley against Bellew because Bellew showed such little class in the run up, and I have always been a Clev fan. I also find myself wishing anyone would just knock Fury out because he gets on my tits. Never a huge fan of Junior Witter either but in 9 fights out of 10 I will get behind the British guy. Where no UK fighters are involved I can relax a little more but investing a stake in one boxer over the other, makes the fight more fun even when neither comes from my country. Your thoughts?

These days, I'm not "nationalist" when it comes to Pro Boxing, and more than half of my favorite fighters are from other countries. In fact, very few of my favs' are from the U.S. right now.
