Rising boxing country: Finland

Wonder if anyone gives a ****, maybe some Euros..?

Edis Tatli is fighting tommorrow 8.12 for EBU EU lightweight title in Finland against Paolo Gassani.

 

Assikainen for sure was (is?) a very good fighter. But I felt he could have reached more than he did.

 

FFS!:deal

Man going down like Hay there.:shock:

Brutal ko's everywhere!:smoke

 

Tatli is stiff, upright shite of a boxer, Katajisto has even less potential than Tatli has. Jokinen has some potential, but Robert Helenius is still only boxer worth mentioning from Finland at the moment. No one else is looking to make any noise in any division. Unless Haapoja makes an upset in his next bout.

 

Thanks for the effort!
It's always a good thing whenever the entire boxing community grows up!
All the finnish boxers are welcome! Unfortunately boxe is still not enough popular compared to other sports in too many countries, let's hope it will change and become bigger and bigger.

 

I'd said it before and I'll say it again. My parents are immigrants to the US, and like most Asian and European immigrants to the US, they are more likely to be richer and more wealthier than even your average American white.

Europe's welfare states makes it so that most women don't give birth, this is countered by taking in much poorer quality of immigrants (the same groups Poles, ****stanis, Lithuainians are doctors lawyers Silicon Valley startup founders who make jobs and spur innovation in one country, and waiters, taxi drivers, bus boys in another).

Considering boxing has a strong correlation with people of poorer economic background (Irish, black, latino) expect a lot more Eastern Europeans and Muslim immigrant boxers showing up in Euro circuits.

Sadly most of them will probably suck. Other than those coming out of Southern Europe (few since they tend to be economically well off countries)and ****stanis growing up in the UK, Euros lack some serious rythem in boxing. Lots of good strong French North Africans punchers, great conditioning but the guys have no iq, no rythem, poor trainers.

On the US side Latin American children are already scoring lower than African American kids (post-Obama election) in school test scores on a national level. So expect in 20-25 years time to see a good number of Latin American boxers dominating American divisions
