Does Anyone Else Get Bored Seeing A Twelve Round War With No Knockdowns?

Fury has a 80% KO rate? Also, I don't judge a fighter on one fight, but if it becomes a recurring theme I don't like it and it definitely turns me off. yeah me neither, i usually judge them on their last 2-3 fights. and fury's last 3 fights have been the most boring fights i have ever seen. That amazing 80% ko ratio with 100% of them being cab drivers and journeymen.

Lmao, fvcking floyd stans. Always trying to downplay the skill and entertainment of fights that are crowd pleasing, but go on about how much they are entertained by watching a guy throw 3 punches a round, hug, hold, and make very little effort to knock someone out.

how the fuk are u a fury fan then?lol Fury has a 80% KO rate? Also, I don't judge a fighter on one fight, but if it becomes a recurring theme I don't like it and it definitely turns me off.

I am a huge Mayweather fan. I think it is incredible the way he avoids punishment from the best the sport has to offer. This, while usually delivering 50% of the power shots he throws. It is just a rare display of the science, the taking it to an ultimate level. That being said, if you are a boxing fan and you fail to appreciate what happened last night, you should simply stop following the sport. Salido vs Vargas has instant classic written all over it. So glad I taped it.

Stopped reading at minimal technique Same here. TS is a joke.

For the record I enjoyed Pacquiao Marquez 4 and Molina vs Matthyse. Those were wars that had a decisive winner and had several knockdowns. But wars with no decisive winner, no knockdowns or Ko's just feels like a waste. Both these guys beat the crap out of each other and it felt like it was for nothing. I How can you get bored? Maybe you are frustrated because you think someone deserves the win but boring it is def not

I watched the Salido Vargas fight tonight and I didn't find it that entertaining. I watched two guys slug it out with minimal technique and basically beat the snot out of each other for nothing other than a nice paycheck. The result of the fight was fair, I too thought it was a draw But seeing the amount of punishment these dudes inflicted upon each other for a result where neither man won just seems like a wasted night. Boxing is already taxing on the body, so I'm sure every time these guys step in there they don't even contemplate the thought of losing so my heart just sank for those guys when it was declared a draw. All that punishment for basically nothing it seemed. It just felt anticlimatic. Do any of you guys get bored watching wars with no knockdowns, especially when there is no clear cut winner? Did you find floyd vs baldomir or vs berto highly entertaining?

If any "fan" didn't find last night's fight entertaining,then I suggest that you switch to a different sport. I recommend figure skating,or underwater basketweaving. Last night was two fighters with serious punchingpower unloading nuclear bombs on each other,and both refusing to back off. They both had the power to hurt each other,and it turned into a battle of wills. No running,no cheap defensive styles,just two warriors trying to impose their will on each other. If no knockdowns happened,so what? More credit to both guys for refusing to go down. Boxing fans have become spoiled these days,and their views have become clouded. In an era in which fighters have adopted a defensive mentality,and are content with dancing their way to a 12 round decision,we get a gem like last night's fight,and there's still people who are complaining about it not having knockdowns? You guys better switch over to ufc,in which champions get ko'd silly in the first round,and the supposed best p4p in the world gets submitted by an out of shape dorito fingered pothead who got off the couch to beat him.

Yea I agree, its more entertaining if one of the fighters is forced into a war so he has to change his gameplan But 2 guys choosing to block punches with their face swinging at each other, knowing they cant hurt each other isnt that interesting to watch. There needs to be back and forth action, where one guy takes the play away from the other only for the other to come back That said Ive never watched the fight Was never that entertained by the Corrales/Castillo fight, only the ending was entertaining since there was so much back and forth

But wars with no decisive winner, no knockdowns or Ko's just feels like a waste. Both these guys beat the crap out of each other and it felt like it was for nothing. I Okay but as it was happening you couldn't say it was boring (which is what the thread title says)...they were trading huge shots that would have resulted in knockdowns or knockouts to most fighters. I guess I would understand what you are saying more if it was a Figeuroa type fight where they are constantly throwing with no power behind the shots

a knockdown was the only thing missing from that fight. If it would have been Vargas dropping Salido I would have gone crazy. Vargas/Miura>>>Vargas/Salido

Yes sometimes. I feel boxing could take a leaf out of UFCs book and offer fight bonuses and KO bonuses. I don't mind if it's a real fight. But pitty patting for 12 rounds is boring as ****. how the fuk are u a fury fan then?lol

This is why we will never agree to much on this forum or as boxing fans in general. I mean I can't fathom any boxing fan (casual or hardcore) being bored watching last night's war. I mean I was in the dumps about the sport the last few weeks with Canelo ducking and Wilder/Povetkin not happening...but last night reminded me why I love this sport. And I'm not even trying to hate on you, I'm saying it amazes me that boxing fans can have that big of a difference in tastes. I mean I understand that some guys favor a more technical boxer over a brawler type...but to say you were bored watching that last night? Seems crazy to me because it's what I prefer to see in the ring. And I know there are a lot of people who feel how you do which is why no fighter will ever get the full collective respect of NSB (sadly even Ali didn't get the full respect yesterday, and if he didn't then no fighter will).

Depends on the skill Depends on the skill and the effort of that skill rigodieux bores me to tears but lemachenko doesn't

If it is obvious neither guy is capable of really hurting each other, it does get uneventful. I didn't see this fight and have no idea if that's the case, but just in general wars are kind of boring when neither guy is going to hurt the other.

No way, I want to see more of them.all day every day!

It depends on quality of competition. Mayweather vs Maidana, was great for 24 rounds. MArquez vs Pacquiao was never boring all through 42 rounds. The War was 3 rounds? It also depends on your taste, I get bored wathcing 2 guys killing each other with no defense. Maidana vs Victor Ortiz and Soto Karass made me yawn, but Maidana vs Amir Khan was entertaining. It depends.. Good post. I can watch Mayweather-Maidana 1 and 2 every day. Maidana outboxed Mayweather and showed that TBE is just meaningless self-branding and hype
