Radivoje Kalajdzic: Hot Rod The Light Heavyweight Serbian Hemi Cuda Of St. Petersburg

Havent seen the fight but by all accounts, that sounds about right.

Yeah,Browne obviously isn't going to say "yeah, he beat me", but jeez, at least say it was a tough close fight, and that Kalazdjic is a quality opponent etc

 

That video was cringe worthy. Neither guy is really a world beater. I feel for Kalajdzic, but hey, it wasn't that bad of a robbery. It was bad, but Soliman/Wade was even worse.

Hopefully, the put in Browne against Beterbiev or Stevenson to make up for it. Even this older Stevenson KO's Browne.

 

10 round rematch, please!

stb like to think of them both as american now to soften the blow of his hero getting destroyed

he also now wants to elevate hot rob to something special so browne doesnt look as terrible

 

A better education? Because clearly they're a bit thick.

Then again, Ive heard British posters try to explain to me how Khan isn't English, so its not country specific.

 

its amazing limerickbox hasnt said anything about the terrible decision . maybe its because it shows american judging and refereeing in a bad light lol

 

Guys can identify with whatever nation they want to.

Whats stopping Hot Rod being Serbian-American?

De La Hoya used to come to the ring with a Mexican flag, but no oen considered him less American.

Randy Caballero waves a Nicaraguan flag at his fights, even though he was born in California.

Its up to the guy to guy to decide what he is. Hot Rod is an Ethnic Serb, born in Bosnia, and an American citizen who has lived in the states since he was 7 or 8. He can call himself whatever he likes.

Why cant he be Serbian and American?

Chisora was born in Zimbabwe
Kid Galahad was born in Qatar
Martisoyan was born in Armenia
Yuri Foreman was born in Belarus
Wladmiri Klitschko was born in Kazakhstan
Marco Huck was born in Bosnia

Howard Eastman was born in Guyana, Herbie Hude was born in Nigeria

Mike Perez wears the Irish tricolour on his shorts. Its all fluid


Boxing is a sport that is biggest with poorer people,and you'll see plenty of immigrants in those communities.

In the end of the day, the individual can identify with whatever nation he wants.
If hes beyond all that nationalism talk he wont identify with any.

Its like when John Barnes was asked "do you identify as an English man or as a Jamaican?" and he said "neither, I identify as John Barnes"

Id consider Lewis Canadian-British....who lives in America, and has Jamaican parents...hows that?

 

Well hes actually not from Serbia. Hes from Bosnia, and is ethnically Serbian.

Ive always claimed that Lewis is whatever he wants to be, the guy can claim 4 countries. If I was claiming hard that hes from one country, then I must have been just annoyed with whoever I was arguing with!
Fact is that Lewis is Canadian....Hes British...His family is Jamiacan and at this point he has probably lived in America more than any other country he has lived in!

From the outside, Hot Rod clearly seems like an American who was born in another country, like Vanes Martisoyan for example.

I don't think anyone minds when Vanes is called an American.

Donaire was born in the Phillipines, but is generally considered American.


But like I said, these guys can claim whatever they wish. I'm sure if you asked someone like Hot Rod, he'd say hes Serbian AND American.

 

:deal

 

Lennox is Jamaican this hotrod guy is serbian who would likely claim to american if he went back to bosnia haha. If he has no interest in being an American why bother making him out to be one. I get the politics and the endless debate but if he chooses to identify as a serb, well so be it.

I find the whole claiming "others" so to speak a tad bit lame, especially if they have just recently immigrated to another country. Is Kostya Tszyu an Aussie ? how many EE fghters live in Florida ?
