    CST wasn't around for the entire duration of the RBR stinking it up like you were... He may have spells of emotion or bias but it's not as consistent as yours is. Nah I'm content being a normal poster on here - but thanks for the high praise. It's greatly appreciated!

    you asked, dont get salty cause you dont like the answer. dont be stupid, 10 posts bashing a black fighter out of 1000 praising them, or 10 praising white fighters out of 1000 bashing them, is what i meant by "unequal distribution of praise and critique". if you want, we can take the last 20 comments either one of us has made and see how the praise and bashing line up racially, to see who talks out their ass.

    Round 1 Postol 10-9
    Round 2 Taylor 1o-9
    Round 3 Postol 10-9
    Round 4 Postol 10-9
    Round 5 Postol 10-9
    Round 6 Taylor 10-9
    Round 7 Postol 10-9
    Round 8 Taylor 10-9
    Round 9 Taylor 10-9
    Round 10 Taylor 10-8

    Massive round for Taylor, he comes out very aggressive, landing clean shots, Postol steadies the ship, has a decent second minute, but doesn't win it, then Taylor nails him with a brutal overhand left on the chin, Postol goes down in a heap, he's back up, bell sounds 7 seconds later, saved by the bell.

    He's done the exact same thing I've done. Not to mention a bunch of other posters but you never say a thing to them. I brought up CST as an example cause I know you're terrified of confrontation with him and IB lmao.

    A coupld good good shots and good jabs from Postol in round two, but Taylor came on strong from the bell and bossed the round easy.

    Round 2: 10-9 Taylor.

    19-19.

    Yeah but you say it's a race thing. Prove to me it's a race thing and not a nationality thing. I'm half asian by the way and I ONLY root for Japanese fighters. I don't root for Chinese, Filipino, etc. That's just the way I was raised, my family would always root for America/Japan. It has nothing to do with race.

    You're just not going to find 1000 posts of me praising non-american black fighters, and 10 bashing them. I mean I hate on joshua just as much as any other fighter.

    Not salty at all. I just find it funny how no one can prove to me it's a race thing.

    Definitely, that can be career ending for a boxer.

    You had no use for him because he's a counter puncher that was forced to be the aggressor, a role he's not suited for, give me a break with this bull****, Taylor came to fight and is giving him a fight, Taylor plays into Postol's wheelhouse and is still beating him, the first four rounds of Crawford-Postol were close, the fifth was a blowout, Bud then decided to coast, styles make fights, if Crawford had more of a backbone, maybe he'd have scored a KO, or maybe he'd have walked onto to something himself, regardless, that was a PPV that cost people 50 bucks, and he stunk up the joint, it is what it is.

    I've bumped heads with CST over the years on here on quite a few occasions. But ok!

    How do I support fighters by race, that's total nonsense. I support EE fighters almost automatically, yes, because I am EE. I have no more support for a white British, Latino or American fighter than a black fighter. Honestly, I don't.

    And in fact off my favourite boxers, it's not even like 90% white guys, I have it like 50:50.

    Round 1 Postol 10-9
    Round 2 Taylor 1o-9
    Round 3 Postol 10-9
    Round 4 Postol 10-9
    Round 5 Postol 10-9
    Round 6 Taylor 10-9
    Round 7 Postol 10-9
    Round 8 Taylor 10-9
    Round 9 Taylor 10-9
    Round 10 Taylor 10-8
    Round 11 Taylor 10-9

    Both men still game, Postol going for it, getting countered with left hooks, both men landed their fare share of leather, but Taylor was more precise and his punches had more impact. Close but clear for Josh.

    The biggest difference between me and posters like Liqorice, Willis, Tod, UTF, Cafe, etc, is that I'm very nationalistic, but race doesn't mean **** to me. I'd root for an Indian American over an Black French or Chinese fighter. I mean unless it's the RARE occasion. For example, Loma is an extremely special talent, I can understand why people are drawn to him. But when these people hate EVERY fighter from their country because of their skin color, and praise every EE fighter we know why.

    Fair enough. I didn't know you were EE. Thing is I actually believe you. But I highly doubt most of the usual suspects are actually EE.
