Couldn't agree more guys, the yanks have a tendency to only see what they want to see and completely overlook the facts.
For example Joe won the fight comfortably on the cards against an awkward, physical perhaps even dirty fighter yet they focus on the fact that he couldn't put him away or that Biko was stronger than Joe, then in their eyes this equates to Joe being overrated even though Joe controlled the fight, outboxed and out scored Biko?
They overlook the important part which is controlling and winning the fight, they need to see a fighter overwhelm another and KO him for them to then say 'hey that's a good win' but real boxing is almost never like that.
Let us continue to educate where possible!
Oh and by the way there are a few Brits on here who do the same!
