The most boring fights I've seen were definitely Andre Dirrell vs Curtis Stevens and Vitali Klitschko vs Kevin Johnson. Dirrell-Stevens was horrible because they were literally holding eachother the whole fight. Dirrell could have finished that fight at any point, but instead he chose to circle the ring and have sex with his opponent. In fact it was so boring that Lou DiBella refused to put Dirrell on his cards again.
Klitschko-Johnson was boring because Kevin Johnson's only purpose of fighting him was to last 12 rounds. Klitschko should have KO'ed him for even attempting to do something that stupid...And the funny thing is, his plan backfired because nobody gives a crap about him or even remembers that bout.
Listenly closely for the "boos". The funniest part is that they expected him to stop running and take Stevens out in the late rounds...Boy were they wrong.
jesus christ, dirrell fights like a bitch. dude fights scared.

Kevin Johnson vs Vitali Klitchsko....goddamn that was boring...i was honestly hoping Vitali KOd that johnson dude...
Dib versus Luevano was the worst I've ever seen. Dib was show-boating from the opposite end of the ring to where Luevano was and simply refused to engage. It's not as if Luevano is a puncher like Valero or Pacquiao either. Worse still were Dib's post-fight remarks where he expressed his relief that neither he nor Luevano were hurt during the fight.
Not dissing Luevano - he tried to make a fight of it - but when there's a fight up in the bleechers and more of the crowd turn around to watch it rather than the fight in the ring, you know something really stinks. Larry Merchant summed it up best:
"Is Billy Dib Australian for 'nothing'?"
