Name a fight where you went into it rooting for one fighter, and came out of it rooting for the other fighter. I came into Vit Lewis rooting for a blowout ko win for Lewis, came out of it sad that Vitali lost and hoping he'd get a chance to avenge it.
Sanders vs Wladimir Klitschko. Too bad Sanders had so much tough luck but at least he won "the" championship.
Haye-Bellew 1. I wanted Bellew to win at start but once Haye showed great heart fighting with one leg I wanted him to take out Bellew. For the rematch I want Haye to win cos Bellew seems to think he's the ultimate warrior because he beat a one legged fighter.
Margo vs. Mosley. I was rooting for Margo until Lampley mentioned the illegal wraps before the bell. I then started rooting for Mosley.
groves v froch 1 going in as a big underdog and did brilliantly in the 1st 6 rounds then steve foster decided from froch 1st real punch that landed that the fight had to be stopped
Mares vs Agbeko 1. I started out rooting for Mares, but everyone saw what happened there. Ward vs Green. Couldn't stand Green, but after a couple rounds I wanted him to K Ward TFO.
Broner vs Maidana Was hoping Marcos would KO Broner but , I started cheering for A.B. when he started showing some heart in there. He was eating so many overhands but he just plodded forward and kept fighting. That was the first and last time we saw the REAL Adrien Broner the fighter.
Nothing specific springs to mind, but one thing that will change my allegiance midfight is unprovoked, gratuitous showboating. Unpleasant, arrogant, unnecessary.
Especially during a big fight I usually root for the guy who's losing the fight. If a top guy who's never lost badly is knocked down or starts slow I immediately become sympathetic for him. I root for close, competitive matches of elite skill.
its true. i wanted maidana to win before and after. but i knew broner was still alive that whole fight he was fighting. and that is so true thats the last time the REAL adrien broner was fighting. he was fighting for his 0 an his pride. to me broner is scared to get knocked out cuz we will get such great pleasure out of it. and he dont want us to ever experience that. he did not lay it on the line vs porter or mikey like he did vs maidana.
In fight between Drago and Balboa, I was rooting for Ivan Drago to preserve Communism and make benefit glorious nation of USSR. Dra-go! Dra-go! I was going. But then, I saw brave Amreeki challenger fighting fighting fighting and then not getting knock out. He fighting fighting fighting and then I see Drago is not feel. What? What is not Drago feel, very feel? I realise that Communism is lie and America the land of free and brave. I cheer Bal-boa! Bal-boa! My life is change.
