    I really wouldn't care.

    I've been called "black" and "Filipino" countless times from folks on this very forum for years now. Despite being neither, it does not bother me the slightest.

    It's not for fight fans to need to even know what ethnicity a boxer is. If someone cares about that or factors that into their thoughts somehow, then they are simply admitting an outside physical factor as contributing to their bias.

    But some people are more sensitive than others, so, I don't know. Not something worth correcting anyone about in the context of being a boxing fan is what I think.

    Just like I did with Andy Lee and Matt Korobov, I predicted Afolabi stopping Rakhim.:deal:hi:

    Uhhh.... ok? Point is he's an ethnic Chechen, not Russian. You think it's a good thing that people are uneducated, and ignorant about geography?

    Yeah, it's really silly. He also said there was a good chance that Wach would beat Povetkin :rofl :patsch

    Be quiet, I only do that when I think it'll happen. You'd have to be an idiot not to think Afolabi had a good chance of stopping him, he was dropped twice by Ventura and struggled to win and Diablo took him out after dropping him 3 or 4 times. Chakhkiev has no chin, that's pretty apparent.

    He didn't look great against Wach or legitimately stop him did he?

    He did look great, Wach won one lousy round. The stoppage was bad, but what does that have to do with anything :nut

    No of course not, I thought Ola was a very live underdog going into the fight. Just busting your ***** a little bit man, I think you're a quality poster but you do this kind of thing a lot.

    Yeah well you should know me enough by now to know when I'm trolling and when I'm not. I'm not that big a fan of Povetkin, I was kind of trolling with him. I troll on the big matches, small ones no one cares about I rarely if ever troll.

    Cst hedges his bets quite a bit, says one guy will win here, other guy might win there, says another thing in the prediction league(or whatever it's called) if he flat out said one thing and it came out the other way, he'll say he felt that guy would win all along

    I like him, he's a good poster, but he needs to drop the schtick imo. We all miss call some fights or make bad predictions, doesn't mean your not knowledgable about boxing or anything
