s silly to go to great lengths to describe which fighter is which and not refer to skin colour. I watched a fight a few years ago and their trunks were close in colour, and it was boxing so they had the same gloves and the commentators just couldn't say that one guy was white and the other guy was black.
I'm a white guy, so maybe I'm just flat out wrong and somewhat insensitive to these things?

I am insensitive too to be honest but I think society is changing for the better and I've had to grow. For example, trying to learn vocab that is respectful to everyone. I've learned to take the word 'guys' or 'gals' out of my vocabulary. No longer using, you guys or these guys. Using names 100%.
In your example, the commentators would have to say their names every time. And Slava goes in for a HUGE uppercut!
