Examples of the Crowd Supporting the Away Boxer

Bute vs Froch?

























(but only at the weigh-in)...can't think of any, mate... if it didn't happen for Green vs. Jones Jr or for Pascal vs. Hopkins... it's a hard sell.

Pascal vs. Diaconu, maybe... although that wasn't a clear case either... both were home fighters and the crowd was devided.

 

Khan-Barrera

 

Good shout, but although many in the crowd came to see MAB, most of the crowd was pro-Khan...

 

It will only happen on an undercard, where the local fighter isn't well-liked, but is hated for one reason or another. He doesn't have many fans, but people just want him to lose, so they'll cheer for anyone who fights him.

 

Rocky IV

 

Maybe Ali when he fought in Britain or Germany? (Dunno if this is true, just a guess).

 

Archie Moore vs. Yvon Durrelle? Archie was up in Canada and that guy was French Canadian, one of my fave fights ever!

How about the obvious?.... Ali going to UK to fight? Infact Ali going abroad anywhere ha.

I remember Cleverly in the Echo Arena, Liverpool, and everyone wanted Nadjib Mohammedi to do him! haha

 

Roberto Duran-Davey Moore.

 

haha. You beat me to it.

Another obvious case would be when Tyson fought over here.

 

Surely Audley Harrison has to have had this happen at some stage, I'm nor sure when.. but he must have.. lol

 

Tyson vs Francis for sure , everyone knew Julius did't stand a chance and was pulling for Tyson to flatten him .

 

I want to leon williams vs shane mcphilbin and the away fans where alot more vocal then the home.

 

Cox/Sai maybe..
