    there was no slip up

    only an idiot would think that it matters more where the boxer is born than where he is fighting out of

    Guyana is on the American continent so technically he was right.

    American in this context should mean both North and South Americans.

    They are just as bad with mexicans.

    Any fighters in the Americas end up being promoted by Yanks.

    Europeans get promoted by wealthy Europeans, so tend to get frozen out.

    Hatton though is making himself worth a lot of money to GBP, so expect his stock to rise even if he loses to Mayweather.

    harris didnt even start his amateur career until he got to the USA!i got the birthplace detail wrong i admit,but he IS an AMERICAN based,AMERICAN trained and AMERICAN nurtured fighter.He lives in NYC for fuks sake!
    as such of course he's going to get heavy bias against a brit from dumbass writers like him.being from NYC compounds it.
    do you think the writer would have picked Harris if he was from,say,Barnsley, and Witter was a New yorker?i doubt it.
    cheers for support China,Pharoah:good
