I'll never, ever not root for Paulie and Katsidis. Two completely different characters and boxers, but Paulie somehow got me into boxing (I came across his first fight with Ndou, dunno how... I used to think he was a power puncher as well coz he dropped Ndou ) and I came to love Katsidis when I properly got into boxing a couple years ago. I'll also always love (no homo) Ricky Hatton, though wanted Paulie to win against him tbh.
Id have to say Tony Oakey.Just loved his attitude and comittment to it all.And more recently Rendell Munroe and Scott Burns.I like domestic fighters who manage to get the best out of themselves often culminating in doing a bit better than they perhaps should.
