I would have delivered on the knockout on him. People think boxing is brawling and Tyson like antics unfortunately. I watched Castillo-Corrales with a friend he said it was boring as hell except for the 10th round. That really made my blood boil.
By the way, you from Ohio? Which part?
Yeah I watched Castillo/Corrales with a buddy and he actually liked it. He was all, "are you sure this isn't Rocky vs. Apollo Creed?" Funny stuff...
No I'm not from Ohio. I really need to change my CT...it's just something that an music artist I like says periodically.
Yeah I watched Leonard/Hearns I with one of my roommates when they were having classic boxing week awhile back and my roommate was pissing me the fuck off. He was all, "they're just jabbing...jab...jab...jab...when does the knockout come?"
I wanted to punch him in the face just on principle alone. I explained to him that any lesser fighters in there would have been KO'd in 10 rounds or less but I think it was falling on deaf ears. He didn't really understand the level at which those guys were fighting that night.

No shit none of my friends even care unless it is a big name or a ko artist. If it goes above 4 rounds they leave.
General public fans dont admire the science and the skill, all they want to see is Knockouts. It amazes me people can sit through a baseball game for like 4 hours and be excited throughout but cant get up for 45 minutes of great boxing action.
I hear ya man. It always amazes me how sports fans don't appreciate the competitive nature of boxing and yet flood to professional team sports in hordes. The competition in professional team sports is convoluted (with a few exceptions). A team in the baseball or the NBA loses... so what? They come back next season. Once you're in the league, you're set until you retire, essentially. It becomes more entertainment than sport. Contrast this with boxing where competition is taken to the extreme. There is so much to lose if you don't win that one big fight--all the contracts/TV time may go out the window. There's so much at stake. Now that's real competition!

Yeah most people I know only like it when the two fighters are fighting sloppy and missing a thousand punches. Then they wonder why a "Boring" fight like Mayweather or Hopkins beats them with ease.
I only like watching fights alone, with my dad, or with my grandfather.
If I watch fights with my friends they're always like, "THEY AREN'T EVEN PUNCHING EACH OTHER THEYRE JUST JABBING....THIS SUCKS"
The best was when I was watching Morales/Barrera III repeat and my buddy said "holy shit man he hurt him" when Barrera landed a routine jab. I was laughing my ass off.

not to sound like an asshole but i was'nt there :D you could see it on the tv if you looked closely, i guess im just really observant when it comes to the crowd cause i always spend the first 2 rounds of a fight calling out the names of all the stars and fighters that i see in the crowd, lol
i haven't even gotten to see it yet :( someone's sending me a copy of the fight though...and i got to meet diego 2 weeks ago so ha! :D
I hate people who do that. I'm trying to watch the fight and someone always yells out that's so and so. That's why I like watching the fights alone for the most part.
lol, i hear ya, i dont have any friends that care about boxing so im always by myself for fights, im calling it out but im the only one that hears it :D its got to where i notice it so easily and quickly, plus i always like seeing there reactions when something dramatic happens
