    True, but in Iggy's case it was worse than just broken english, he was mumbling his words and nothing seemed to be sinking in with him when he was being asked questions. It could of just been the accent like you said, it was just hard to tell, I had my volume up almost as loud as it can go, because I really wanted to hear what he had to say regarding his fight with Wlad.:yep

    What the hell are you taking about, I was naming the fighters that held the titles a little over 2 years ago, I didnt say they were great champs anything.

    Cant think of any Iggy fights that would lead him being punch drunk.

    He just started to learn to speak English.

    Me neither, the only thing I could think of is him doing heavy sparring over his career. But his speech is more and likely is result of not fully learning the english language yet.

    I dont really want to sound like an ******* here, but the truth isnt the rise of Eastern Euro, but the decline of American fighters. Eastern Europe has always had good fighters, it just that they always became pro-am fighters. Many were being forced to stay in the amatuers well into the late 20's and early 30's. Such as the Cuban fighters.

    You cant really call it a rise until they start having a presence in the the lower weights. Right now their are very few Eastern European fighters in the top 10 for supermiddleweight down. In fact there are very few outside of heavyweight, which just happens to be the weight that the Americas are weak in. Very few latinos heavyweights and the ones from the States suck.

    And the US still has more active fighters P4P over any other country.

    Euro's are born bigger by nature.Highly unlikely that there will be a vast talent pool below 160.

    Women yes, Eastern European women are the tallest on average with the women from Croatia leading the way at 175 cm or 5 ft 7 inches while the rest of the women around the world average 158 to 164 cm or 5 ft 2 inches to 5 ft 4 inches. The tallest people on the planet are from the Sudan were the men are on average 6 ft 3 inches or 193 cm and the women are 5 ft 11 inches or 183 cm.

    More importantly is weight were the US is a ran away averaging by far the highest pound per inch and carrying the largest muscle mass as well as the highest fat index.

    Well that is enough of that boring crap.
