It was invented in vagabundo's mind.

And you've shown nothing to indicate that race had anything to do with that fight.
Both of them fought viciously. One died. That's it.
And the ref's not having stopped it has nothing to do with Mancini's relatives in the Korean War.

I was referring to Mancini, in any case, he fought ferociously against everyone.

You were all over the place--bringing up the ref in posts talking about Mancini and the Korean War.
Exactly, he fought ferociously against everyone. The Korean War had nothing to do with what happened in that fight. It was a stupid point to have brought up.
Art Frias may well have died had he lasted into the 14th, too.

Bump.

I've never got to see the actual fight. I saw the movie "Champion" based on Duk Koo Kim's life. It really shows the mentality of the Korean fighters on that movie, and explains why most of the the Korean fighters you see are aggressive brawlers with a never say die attitude.

Yep, even though I fully understand the flaws of straight-up brawlers, I always love guys that are just willing to lay it out like that with no fear. I've been a fan of Ji-Hoon Kim ever since I've seen him fight. I always liked Ruslan Provodnikov, I adore Marcos Maidana, Erik Morales is a Mexican Boxing God in my book. I just love those kinds of fighters.

I respect all fighters if they're talented and good at what they do, but guys like I mentioned above always have a special place in my heart and I always root for guys like them.

I'm sure if I were watching I would've been pulling for Kim in that fight as well. Eternal Respect for the Brave Korean Warrior

I once was a R/J at the world military championships and the Korean boxers would stand at attention in the ring at the end of their bout in their corner and the coaches were usually yelling at them as they did not do that well. After one bout I went to the locker room to take a wiz and this Korean coach had his boxer who had just lost standing at attention again. He was screaming at the poor guy and then, BAM! he hits the boxer hard in the stomach. I was watching from behind a door with a window and another guy from Italy I think was a coach stood next to me watching. We were like damn, that's messed up.
