Shut the hell up about running please.

boxing is getting in the ring with the right equipment nothing else.

This has by far got to be the dumbest thing Ive ever heard a boxing fan say

[Lethal]

Its not about what the viewers like or dont like but what the boxers like.

Then why televise it? Face it, if the viewers don't like it then things need to be changed plain and simple.

Saw that fight and both guys ****** ass, and for that to be a UFC headliner is a travesty. Actually kinda normal for KFC. I'm fat and out of competitive shape and still woulda KO'd either one of them in the 1st. You need a MMA forum cuz your high on it.

Thats two bums fighting...period. You trying punching on the move....countering moving backwards....actually how about fighting effectively moving backwards....not a facking chance homie.

For one, it was a free fight night show and secondly, you obviously have a bias hate towards MMA so you will watch an event ready to criticise anything you dislike. Try learning MMA before judging it. Spencer and Sam did well. Spencer did the best with counters, hooks, etc....no need for running.

Anyways, back on subject. I personally dislike running. I don't find the skill at all in jabbing and running, I've seen backyard boxers(with gloves) with no training just jab and run while the other is swinging like a girl...I mean there is no science in that ****, a two year old can know when to swing.

Action is what the people prefer. Guys like Andre Dirrell can take that runnin crap into the olympics.

yes he was winning the fight and teasing stevens about not being anle to hit him so he was doing something, stevens should of been ablet to catch him and land damaging blows, stevens could not do that so it was obvious direll was a level above stevens.

Lemme ask you "cut off the ring" experts this ****..





How do you stop that? Dude is running backwards and ****. smh

I though DLH did what he had to do to win, and he DID win that fight. Regardless of what the cards were.

Its not about what the viewers like or dont like but what the boxers like. Its a advantage to be mobile. You have to throw though and not just move just for the sake of moving.

Your wrong! It IS about what the viewers like. If not for us, how would these boxers get paid? If they dont entertain us, we dont pay to see them fight. Plain and simple.

I still think that we can all agree that there is a difference between running and boxing. Paulie Malignaggi BOXED against Cotto and N'Dou, he didn't run. He basically circled around the other fighter while never being out of range himself. PBF boxed against ODLH and Castillo, again, by circling his opponent.

Cory Stinks, on the other hand, just ran like a scared rabbit against Taylor. Andre Dirrell did the same against Stevens this weekend. Jorge Arce vs. Ler was a running session; Jorge Arce vs. Mijares was a boxing lesson. BTW, ODLH ran like a 5-cent ho in the last 4 rounds vs. Trinidad and boxed the first 8. That's the difference.

I'm all for boxers, fighters who circle and jab, but I hate runners.

No he didn't. Show me where. I remember him landin combos. Taylor didn't do **** to win. Throwin 5 punches a round gets a win? No.

good post, close thread.

Moving around ain't bad if you throw punches

I really have no problem with the fact that some boxers move around alot. What I have a problem with is when they do so but don't throw any punches. Dirrell was a good example. I mean he was doing a good job at moving but the guy wasn't throwing back much. Don't get me wrong Stevens should have cut off the ring without being clinched but he didnt. Paulie Malinaggi in my opion demonstrated true boxing skills against Lovemore. He established excellent movement while constantly landing that jab and countering majority of Lovemore's punches. He even landed 4-5 punch combinations from time to time. He showed that you can still beat the crap out of your opponent without going to war with them. That in my opinion was true sweet science.

First of all, it was a snoozer. Secondly, while Stinks did throw more than Taylor, 99.9999999% of them were jabs from OUT OF RANGE, that did not even connect. Just look at the landed punches, 85 out of 542 (16%). What does that tell you? It tells me that Stinks was running away and flicking his jab out there but wasn't concerned about engaging his opponent.

Contrast that with Malignaggi's numbers on Saturday: Malignaggi landed 352 of 803 total punches. And when it came to the jab, Malignaggi owned N'dou by landing 193 of 486. Malignaggi landed more jabs than what N'dou landed total punches (161). That, my friend, is boxing and not running! If you haven't watched the fight, I highly suggest you do so that you may be edumacated in the art of real boxing, not running.

I guess Mohammed Hakkar was "outboxing" B-HOP, darn, they cheated Hakkar out of a victory. You said it Rockin'. .
