    In the UK, most call people from the Middle East, for example Pakistan "Asian".

    Oh what am I doing?

    This conversation is riddled with problems, but anyway the reason I said that is because you might get a few strange answers from Brits.

    They are not racists or trying to cause problems, language differences.

    relax man, its not hard to tell when talk of race is coming from a place of hate, dont blow it out of proportion.
    to the average american, asian is anyone with far east asian eyes. thats just the way it is.

    In no order

    GGG
    Bektemir Melikuziev
    Abbos Atoev
    Murata
    Zhanibek Alimkhanuly
    Vijender Singh
    Artem Chebotarev (like GGG of mixed ancestry I think but he wasn't born in Asia)
    Yermakhan Ibrayimov - fought at LMW (Olympic gold & bronze medalist + World Amateur silver & bronze) but would've likely fought at MW had he turned pro and had he done so he would've become a world champion for sure IMO and maybe even a great one because he was a beast

    vs the great Cuban Juan Hernandez (4 x World Amateur gold)

    Nice shout out! Ceferino "Bolo punch" Garcia.

    This content is protected


    He invented the bolo punch because he was a sugar cane farmer and he use to whip a "bolo" in an uppercut motion to cut the sugar canes.
