Does NSB popular views reflect that of the general boxing public? Can NSB be use as a gauge to see if a proposed fight will be a success or will be doomed to fail?
You know most of the posters on this site use their own judging system to score a fight instead of the actual 4 scoring criteria that boxing uses.
Unfortunately, a lot of official judges appear to do the same.
Seeing as I've never been around the sport I believe that it does affect peoples views.
In my first week here I learned that Sugar Ray Robinson sucked, that Joe Louis was himself a bum, that every fight is fixed, that using the ring is running, that everybody 'duks', that every fighter is over hyped trash and that the general public is far wiser to the sport than those who actually live/lived in the sport.
The general boxing public, that's where it's at.
Hell no. Nobody in a gym talks like the regulars here. They're all so desperate to be heard that they overstate their opinions to the point that they don't even truly believe what they're saying. This place is great for news but the opinions are just a shouting contest.
^^^These posts in the first page killed the thread. The second post is especially true about the over-the-top statements that NSB is known for. The term "duck" has been used SO much that it's practically lost meaning...and in second place is "robbery".
Knowledge of posters in nsb is far greater than that of the general public.
Boxing is not very well understood by the masses. Some don't even know the judging system.

No because a lot of the stuff people say behind a computer screen they won't say in public.
I'm sure they would. But on here we try keep it short....nobody wants to read an e-book on NSB......Let alone write one.
thurman went a minute and a half without throwing one punch but he did remember to clinch just saying.
they be haters lol they follow me in every thread and I never ever engage them first in convo ever cause it always end up the same they hurling insults and shit lol when I just keep it boxing.
He didn't go a minute and a half without throwing a punch and he must have clinched like 3 or 4 times in the whole fight. That's nothing. Thurman rarely clinches.
But you've just proven my point anyway. Goodboye.

Geez your racist.....lmao
*joking bro
lol alright maybe you haven't called him a 'bum' to be exact, but you've still been on his case. The bitterness is real. Like I said I don't care if you don't like/rate him, but you lack logic and reason.
No, he didn't 'run', what the **** does that mean? He used his feet and BOXED. This is what I mean when I say you know **** all about this sport.

Settle down guys.......lol

see dude you talk out your ass you dont know shit,. you just emotional. Quote me once please where I called thurman a bum after the Guerrero bout.
just do that and ill quit this forum (shouldent be hard to find i only posted a handful on nsb since that bout). lol. homie I aint a hater, i just call it how it is.
Oh did thurman run in the 11th yes or no? did thurman close the show? or just coast in a safety first manner?

You don't have 'haters' yo, you're a 15 year on old on a boxing forum.
I have nothing against you, you just don't know **** about boxing. And I'm not Thurman's personal advocate, if you don't like him, that's cool. And you still do call him a bum, that's the kind of childish and bias behaviour I'm talking about. You picked Guerrero to stop him, he beat the **** out of Guerrero and then you called Thurman a runner lol...

haters gonna hate

Has a signature and avatar dedicated to Bum Bum Rios, yet come up with the peanut brain sized idea to consider Keith Thurman a bum.. :blackeye:

lol really? He's easily the worst poster on this forum.
Anyone who doesn't walk face first into punches is a 'runner' according to him. He has a very **** understanding of the sport.
And he has clear race/nationality biases as well. That's fine like you said, nothing wrong with supporting a countryman, but he goes over the top and is blind to reason and logic.

as if that has any bearings or influence over my opinions lol.
See your are one of those posters here who have an agenda or are just too emotional to even take serious.
I'm not emotional at all, sweetness. My agenda is simply to tell the truth and share boxing knowledge. I never seen an intelligent post from you.
It isn't bad for people to back fighters of their own race and nationality
That guy really knows his boxing when he's not talkin sh1t
I don't know what race that guy is... I just know he has some minstrelsy element to his posts. Remind me of that guy Booty Dew. I never seen an intelligent post from this guy.
As for the OP, there are very few on here who actually understand the sport. I'd say like less than 10% of people on here know what they're talking about.
I mean most people still don't understand the concept of 'styles make fights'. Also anyone who can use their feet and has good defence is refereed to as a 'runner'.

:lame: HELL NO.
You have Brandon Rios as your avatar.. That's already an infraction flag. Overhyped one demensional brawler and is overhyped because Manny Pacquiao fought him. Plus your post are racially motivated.. It's subtle but we all know what TIME it is.
