Does boxing still get your blood flowing?

I yawn at the World Series You take that back right now!!!! :killyou:

Honestly cant remember the last match that had me on the edge of my seat. More and more Im watching MMA for knockouts and drama. Seems like most like to follow boxing for the accounting. How much a certain fighter makes and whether a match up should "marinate" for 3-5 yrs. This is why MMA is winning. Honestly, NO...I cancelled showtime and HBO a while ago and haven't looked back..I watched Mayweathers last fight, Pacs last fight, last weeks Spence fight and hardly anything in between except for a few.. Boxing is all about talking about who you wanna fight, then you fight a guy 2 rungs below him...it's a joke nowadays..when big fights get made I'll be back in. Thurman- Porter is the next one I wanna see.

2016 has sucked for boxing! all these fights are garbage

The Maidana/Broner did. Extremely entertaining fight. Frankly, there are some chess matches that put me on the edge of my seat. Quillin vs Lee was very intense. Don't know what happened to Quillin in the Jacobs fight, but he won me over with his boxing skill in the Lee fight. Promoters need to make more of these chess matches, instead of the usual come forward vs slick guy. Charlo vs Lara should have been made a long time ago, for instance. Bradley vs Pac 3 was a chess match. Extremely entertaining. Of course, if you're a MMA fanboy, you won't like it.

Sorry I only have so much time. I watch PGA too. Doesnt mean im a casual because I dont watch the sh#tty web.com tour. I watch PGA too since that is the sport i have ran to in my older age but its fun to watch at times. Have season tix to Oakland A's too so thats more time. But i can record and watch fights later. All you have to do is resist getting on social media or boxing sites. Pick-n-choose fights you wanna watch

What channel was that on? I didnt even know that fight was happening and I check boxingscene everyday. it was on estrella- one of the spanish netwoks. It was a GBP card. the LA fight club show. I watch the solo boxeo cards on the spanish networks frequently. Since I am not fluent I turn the sound down and just enjoy the action.

Yea it does see the problem with alot of fools like OP they are more Commercial Marquee driven fans, they only get excited if its top names fight and the actual work. Take this weekend for instance we had good fights on. Browned vs Kajajie (or however you spell that) it was a very entertaining fight sloppy, filled with darma etc, and then we had spence who just put on a masterclass in a thrilling way. These fights had me hype. You have to ask yourself do you watch boxing or do you only watch main events fights. If you only watch main event fights then you just a casual who knows a lil something.

I'm seldom soft when watching boxing, especially during weigh ins when they're in their underwear. So yeah.

If you watched soto karass v kamegi this weekend and wasn't excited and on the edge of your seat I don't know if boxing is the sport for you. What channel was that on? I didnt even know that fight was happening and I check boxingscene everyday.

Still love boxing and yes I still get that rush when a great fight is announced or when some matchup that not many people care about turns into a classic. Hell fights that had me in on the edge of my seat in the last year, like Fonfara vs Cleverly, Vargas vs Muira, Mares vs LSC, Martinez vs Salido and many others are why I watch the sport. This year has been a little slow to start, but there are some exciting matchups otw.

Ton of good fights this year: Douglas vs. Khurtsidze Cunningham vs. Glowacki Soto Karass vs. Kamegai Pacquiao vs. Bradley III Vargas vs. Ali Wilder vs. Spailka Browne vs. Chaegaev You just not looking hard enough.

Boxing is still king for me and there's still plenty of good fights if you know where to look, Soto Karass VS that Japanese dude for instance last Friday was pure fire. But I agree that UFC matchmaking is crapping all over boxing's. It looks like we'll be getting some great matches by the end of the year though.

I know that Thurman-Porter is gonna deliver

For all my btching when the Pacquiao-Bradley fight rolled in I was hyped. I was also excited for the Spence-Algieri fight but missed it live. I'm sure I'll be hyped for Porter-Thurman.

Yes it does. My excitement of a fight is always there before matches. Dont care who is fighting cause at any moment we could get a war. Doesnt always work but its that way with any sport.

Not as much as it used to. I was on my feet for huck-glowacki, duradola-kudryashov, most recently. But I can't recall anything from this year that made me get off the couch. When boxing delivers there is nothing better but it's not a common theme anymore.

I dont like MMA either. But at this point they are making better matchups. I dont like the accounting style boxing has went to. I couldn't care less how much fighters and promoters make. This is the number one thing talked about here. You know it. Or racist GGG threads. Man you dont have to indulge in these stupid threads made by trolls/alts..Sure we have bad match ups in boxing but we also get damn good fights. The problem here is most people only look at the so called high profile match ups and dont look at the sport as a whole

I'mma be honest man, i dont know why posters like you come on a boxing forum constantly talking about how MMA is winning...dude just do to the MMA section or a MMA forum...We dont care!!!! We are boxing fans on a boxing forum fvck MMA.... I dont like MMA either. But at this point they are making better matchups. I dont like the accounting style boxing has went to.
