Could you support a foreigner against a home fighter? In what circumstances, if any?

    Sure, I agree! And yet, look, about 1/3 of people here don't.

    Yes, things like meeting the best fighters, being a good ambassador to the sport, and showing up in shape mean something to me. Class outside the ring means a something as well.

    If a home fighter ducks the top talent, boxes like Ruiz, fouls like Golota, is over weight, and has problems with the law,...or any mix of the above and I'll root for someone else.

    Am i the only dude here who enjoys it when a fighter from there country loses after being hyped up.

    Hatton Vs Mayweather for example, I always liked Mayweather, wanted him to win, I thought it was great how all the guys who went over to the states to support him were silenced after he got KO'd.

    Something that really pissed me of was the British commentators on sky sports before the fight began, one of them even said something like "I feel that the British fans gave an exellent showing in this fight" (WTF, did u not hear the guys shouting over the American anthem, lol). Best was Johnny Nelsons reaction after, lol, after all that downplaying of Floyd, he to was forced to shut the **** up after Hatton was knocked out.
