What I don't like watching is when two guys are trying to fight but neither has any ability and can't hit each other. Fighters like Brian Minto and Vinny Maddalone, that to me is garbage.
The only kind of fights I don't like watching are when they put top contenders, guys who are ranked in the top 10 of the ABC organizations, put in with .500 record fighters to pad their records. To me it does nothing as far as entertainment is concerned and doesn't serve much of a purpose to the fighter's career besides picking up a $750 paycheck.
I was watching a replay of Daniel Attah (then 24-4) against an Alejandro Ramirez who the TV people had misrepresented as being 8-8 (he was really 10-20). It was such a ridiculous mismatch.
As for the poll, I think the guys who love fighters like defensive masters, Also love to watch a brawl, But guys who like brawls, Don't like the defensive technical side of it at all.
agreed 100%
I'm a boxing fan..
I just like boxing..
Wheres the option for I just like good fights?
I am a avid fan of boxing and I can appreciate when a fighter has a plan and excutes it even if it isn't the most entertaining plan. Seeing fighters bait other into walking in to a trap. Watching a southpaw keep his right foot on the otuside of the opponents left foot, seeing guys make other guys miss. But at the same time I respect fighters that give the public what they paid for and exchange. So all in all I can appreciate the sweet science but I still expect to see some exchanges during the fight or it is a dud.....Lefty
I like watching skilled fighters who can box and punch and can provide an action-packed fight. A good brawl is also very entertaining. The Vasquez-Marquez trilogy is a perfect example of what kind of fights I enjoy watching.
The right mix of skill, grit and vulnerability. Like Vasquez-Marquez and Bowe-Holyfield stuff. Barrera-Morales had great action but neither guy had enough power to hurt the other.
Im both...

i just like to see action.
whether it's a slugfest or boxing match as long as it's action packed.
people confuse boxing matches with being boring. boxing is very action packed if the boxers have good workrate.
