Nationalism in opinions on fighters and fights

[Deanrw]

Noting wrong with natonalism im my eyes, boxing is so full of talent from so many different walks of life that if you limit yourself to liking fighters on how they look than how they fight is not only stupid but you will be rooting for a loosing fighter half the time since race has nothing to do with ability in this sport. Properly trained, and with enough determination and all a that other crap we're taught to have when we're young a freakin multi-colored checkered guy could be champion. Race is usually only a real big factor online by myspacers and children of that sort, who really know very little about boxing in the first place and only contribute when a person of thier race wins to talk shit. And generally the only response they have to anything is based on thier race beating whatever other race.

See I cannot root for someone from my country just because. I hold a grudge against protected fighters. I find most of them in my neck of the woods protected.

Look at Bute for instance. He has never stepped up in class as a fighter and seems perfectly happy to be fighting fringe guys over and over again. In his last fight he even dug deeper into the barrel and somehow re-animated the corpse of William Joppy for an opponent. It may not even be his fault, but the whole situation disgusts me.

Then you got that laughing stock Jean Pascal, who talks a big fight, but has since run cowering since Miranda accepted his challenge.

Molitor is not quite as bad. He is slowly increasing his competition, but he is a small guy who is 28 years old. Time for the guy to step the fuck up. I actually kinda like him, but the channel who carries his fights here are so damn biased, that I cannot even listen to them. They make him sound like Ray Robinson in there.

Then you had Kirk Johnson, he was actually from my home town. Sure he turned into a fat bastard, but at least he took a shot at it and fought some good competition. He still turned out to be wasted talent which pisses me off. he could have done much better with discipline.

I like fighters who take a stand and let the chips fall. This is why i respect guys like Miranda. To me he represents what a fighter supposed to do. Get in there and war it up. If you lose, pick yourself up and get back at it again.

OK I am done venting before I take an Aneurysm here!LOL

Rep coming your way.
