How much do race and nationality have to do with boxing

Depends on the person I guess. To some people it means a lot to others it doesn't mean much. I really don't care about all that, I just want to see good scraps.

 

when I talk boxing race has absolutely zero to do with it since my race totally sucks at boxing and has zero quality fighters.

 

It's normal to support your fighter but you have to embrace respect to his opponent regardless the outcoming of the fight.

I for one love trash talk but others will tell you that's mostly racist but IMO it spices up a fight as an event - I need this to pump/hype myself up for a fight...

 

haha it explains why i'm the only ****er on this board that makes any sense.

 

The more hard-core a fan you are, the less these things matter.

 

The hell ya talkin about beaner?































Joking.

 

we all know you aint really racist freddy. -your just biased as **** when it comes to mexican fighters and its totally normal & understandable.

 

It depends on the poster. I in no way participate in this race/home country fighter B.S. Race & country has a lot to do with boxing though.

 

i think the complete opposite.

EVERYTHING matters.

 

I can understand rooting for your guy. What I never understand is when people allow their bias to influence their predictions or analysis or scoring. I couldn't help but wonder how many of the UK posters that actually thought hatton had a chance against floyd would have thought the same if he was canadian. (not picking on hatton fans excusivly that's just the first example that came to mind)
