    The American problem

    Guys like porter, Gary russell Jr, we might see about Terrance Crawford--they fight with their athleticism(which they are very athletic) so they can always win at a certain level. Once they raise the bar and fight athletes of a higher caliber, they don't have the technical makeup to hang. We saw this last night with KEll brook out boxing porter who looked one dimensional and honestly fought like an amateur. We also saw this with gary russell jr against lomechenko. I see this happening with deonte wilder as well, he is simply utilizing athleticism to win fights, NOT once have we seen him box. I think low level competition for too LONG is the root cause. That or trainers. A fighter needs to gradually increase competition at a slow progressive rate. Not C, D, C+ type pattern

    American is anyone from the Americas, stop using that term to single out people from the United States.

      Only issue with that is..Brook won a CLOSE fight and also has been fighting low competition..and has been fighting worst comp then Porter..so why point at Americans?

            He didn't specify. Maybe he's talking about western hemisphereans in general. Don't be so sensitive. That aint macho.

              Porter didn't lose because he's American. Brook didn't win because he's British.


              GRJ didn't lose because he's American. Lomachenko didn't win because he's Ukrainian.

                This. End of discussion.

                  Correcting a popular misconception has nothing to do with sensitivity.

                    I just don't see it! Gamboa was too small for lightweight and I feel like ppl are too hype off of that fight.
