Because it's a double standard, and I believe all boxers should be judged by the same standard, regardless of where they are from.

Nationalistic commentating is a blemish on the sport. The love for Ward blinded the HBO commentators to Barrera's punches. I'm not saying Sullivan won, but Ward wasn't dominating as much as they were saying (his face was more marked up than Barrera's after the fight).

Some commentators and journalists (writers) RISE ABOVE IT and are fair and objective (such as Raul Marquez, Hopkins, Tarver, Rafael, etc.)

Kellerman, Gilfoid, Sheridan, BJ Flores and a few others are truly awful for it.
