loss is murder in boxing

Pito14y ago

Take sillakh for example. People already writing him off. He has a solid win over despagine who is a solid guy and is still a prospect. I agree with dana white and lou dibella in that losses in boxing can kill a persons career where as in mma (not a big fan) even though a person has losses what is more important is if they put on a great show or are marketable and people want to see them. Honestly that **** is terrible. Even if a fighter loses i still eould like to see them again if they are good regardless or at peast have the capability of getting better. Undefeated records mean nothing to me. What is more important is the substance of the fighter. For example emanuel augustus has a ridiculously long loss record but people still wanted to see him because he was great regardless and put on a good show. I won't write off fighters simple because of a loss. It happens, that's life.

That's my biggest problem with boxing fans. Top fighters if they lose to other top fighters they get sh1tted on and prospects that are looking great get so much praise. Well, there's a reason why that prospect looks good....he isn't fighting the same talent! If the top fighters were fighting the same guys those prospects were fighting they would be icing them as well. People need to start taking in account who these guys are fighting. Lets see...Cloud lost to Campillo(I dont care what anybody says) who had 3 losses a draw one of those losses by KO not TKO KO. Campillo got knocked out and has 4 losses and people still talk about him being a top guy. Mack has been TKO'd 4 times lost to Glen Johnson and 1 split decision win later over a slight prospect and he fought for the IBF title against Cloud. Allan Green moves up from Super Middleweight after a lopsided decision loss to ward, a TKO loss to Glen johnson a TKO win over a bum and a SD over a fighter that is not even in the top 50 and hes ranked #14. WTF is that? Proving that you can have multiple KO losses lopsided decision losses and still be considered in the top 15. I can still see how Sillakh is a dangerous proposition to many of the guys above him.

I think some of it is because losing in boxing is arguably more damaging physically. After a sustained heavy beating to the head and body in boxing a fighter is rarely the same. in MMA you get busted open with elbows and 4 oz gloves.i think thats brutally damaging as well.but they still support those fighters.we should do the same and be real fans

Biggest thing is that he just got caught after dominating People said the same about Khan and look where he got.
