    Loma is a native of Grand Rapids, best boxer to ever come from there.

    His whole name is Greek (Anatolios "East" in Greek), it applies to all Greeks in the Black Sea.

    Nothing is certain, but for now the Greek heritage of Vasyl is logical...

    In Greece there is a very close correlation between ethnicity and nationality. They don't even use a distinct word for national. Instead they use "ethnikos" for both ethnic and national.

    All I'm saying is that both ethnic and nationality includes a vast variety of persons of diverse physical types and races and that to be of the same ethnic group or nationality you need not share the same ancestry.

    Greeks are notorious for being the biggest pussies when it comes to fighting with fists. There's absolutely no chance Loma has even 0% of Greek blood otherwise it would be him quitting against Walters and not the other way around. Their football fans have reputation of bringing knives everywhere just like their brothers the Turks. When their football clubs play in Slavic countries they hide behind the police. They're scared all the time.

    I seriously couldn't care less about them, a bunch of swarthy people who claim the heritage of ancient Greece that has nothing to do with them. They have an inferiority complex towards everyone Nordish looking.

    The most embarrassing part about them is that they became part of the Western capitalist Europe after WWII (by sucking up to the Westerners) and their economy still sucks big time.

    The funniest thing about Greek people is that the western homosexual Lord Byron displayed more courage than the local Greek people when he decided to go to Greece to fight for the Greek cause.

    He looks very Ukranian/Russian in the face. I don't know but, is his skin color not uncommon over there? He's literally tanned all the time. Seems unusual.

    Presumably he was referring to Guillermo Rigondeaux. Who is Cuban, not Haitian.

    That being said, Haitian chins and Cuban chins do tend to have the same glassy fragility. :sisi1

    He does. Other than being short he looks like a typical Ukrainian person to me. I wouldn't say "Russian", but specifically Ukrainian, Russians come in all forms.

    Definite Slav. Seen him wearing a flat cap several times and I bet he squats at home.
