Name a fight in which you rooted for the fighter of another country over your own..

[IronDanHamza]

Apparently a lot of people wanted to see Hatton lose.. Why is that?

I never wanted to see Hatton loose except against Mayweather and Pacqiauo. Mayweather because hes my favourite fighter and Pacqiauo because i'd been watching Pacqiauo longer and i knew Hatton didn't stand a chance.

floyd over hatton
anoyone over junior witter
anyone over calzaghe

[Mr. Fantastic]

This one is easy. Tito vs Vargas.

[elhijoprodigo]

Pacquiao vs Cotto. We rooted for Pac due to Cottos **** eating arrogance

[AllEyesOpen]

I didn't root for Mayorga against DLH or Mosley. Why? cause he's not a very good fighter, sure he can talk **** with the best of them but he can't back it up. He's like the opposite of Arguello, Arguello was respectable but a beast in the ring, Mayorga runs his mouth like a beast, but just lacks the skill to be a real threat to most seasoned boxers.

[SBleeder]

Tyson vs. every non-American he fought - I always rooted for whoever Tyson was fighting.

[TOBYLEE1]

I'm a boxing fan period. I don't care where the fighter is from

[Motofan]

If you only root for fighters because of where they were born you are PATHETIC.

Hatton over Mayweather
Tszyu over Judah
Wlad and Vitali against every American they have ever fought
Calzaghe over Hopkins
Pascal over Dawson
Froch over Dirrell
AA over Direll
Kessler over Ward
Cotto over Paulie
Sergio over Williams
Lewis vs every American

Those are a few recent ones. But like I said, I do it all the time. I root for fighters, not countries. Im able to think for myself.

[WladIsTheChamp]

Dirrell vs Abraham (he is not Ukrainian but I count the former USSR as my country, so close enough) I wanted the judge to DQ Abraham and was glad when he did

If Chambers were to fight someone from Ukraine or Russia other than the Klitschkos or Boytsov or Povetkin, I would root for him

[BattlingNelson]

I come from a small country with few stars in sports, so I root for my countryman. It's hard to think of times that I rooted for the opponent.

Maybe the closest thing was Larry Holmes when he fought Nielsen or when Livingstone Bramble fought Soren Sondergaard. I get a little sentimental with these old guys that shouldn't be fighting lol.
