Do the BAD petitioners feel silly now?

Beating Baldomir is not anything special - Søren Søndergård did it better than anyone back in 1998. But of course it only counts if one American fighter did it.

Baldomir stopped Mikkel Kessler's trainer's (Richard Olsen) son's boxing career. Frank Olsen. He was like 30-0 before being stopped in the 10th. Olsen was never the same again and stopped within a year of the defeat.

What do you have against American fighters anyways?

Nothing, it is just so much easier to be an American boxer than a boxer from anywhere else due to the stupid hype that US boxers get. I dont like that issue as pure quality of a boxer should be the issue not the passport.

Every country in the world supports their own fighters. America is actually the most impartial country in the world, rarely do you hear Lampley, Merchant et all cheering for their national fighter.

Watch a Brit fight a foreigner in the UK or an Aussie fight an American in Melborne, or a German fight anybody in the motherland and you'll see what real partisan broadcasting is

CC Bilbo Its refreshing to have a non American give us props for once. We have a big media market and they need to write stuff, if it comes off as hype...well thats sells tickets.Peter Plys can hopefully decipher the fluff from the facts. I take it the English dont hype Hatton Khan or Calzaghe..Aussies dont hype Mundine and Katsidis, even Green for that matter.Its the same for every country tha has a decent amount of media coverage. Dont hate on us just because we have alot of fighters and alot of media too.

American's have the least biased commentaries in the world imo. You will never hear Max Kellerman cheer for Floyd when he fights Ricky Hatton but every single UK commentator will be 100% behind the hitman. I'll never forget Harry Carpenter when Bruno fought Tyson for the first time and staggered him. Carpenter yelled 'Get in there Frank!!!!!!!!' at the top of his lungs!

America by vrtue of being the Mecca of boxing has to show more impartiality but of course they are going to be most interested in their own fighters, and that's just the way it should be.
