Why are people dissapointed that they bought this fight?!?!?!

You got what you SHOULD have expected from the main event plus a ACTION PACKED undercard. Whats to complain about?

Word.

You have to be a frickin ****** to complain about Hopkins vs. Wright or even De La Hoya vs. Mayweather..

Only about 99.9% of the Boxing establishment predicted correctly what these fights were going to be anything like, months in advance..


I know kids under 10 years old with more realistic expectations and comprehension skills.

Seriously.

Well worth 50 dollars if I had spent it. The undercard fights were very good, and not only was the main event entertaining, it was a big fight. Sometimes the spectacle is more than enough. I was at the edge of my seat for the DLH/Mayweather fight because it meant something.

To be fair to Wright and Hopkins I think they actually exceeded some expectations. There was quite a bit of clinching, and some moments were awkward, but it was obviously a fight. Both men landed some good punches- Hopkins completely abandoned his jab and went for power punches, compubox confirms that. Anyone who watches boxing should have known that Hopkins is a crafty, old-school boxer and not a brawler- so he wasn't going to bring heat. Wright is a defensive counter puncher- so he wasn't going to bring it, either. But they were going to fight- just in their own style.

Who didn't like the fight? People who prefer the brawlers like Gatti, et al. to the pure boxers. Those who enjoy knockouts more than just watching two tacticians go at it. The fight was not boring. These men did not run and pot shot - they just fought with their own style- a boxing style for the most part, not a brawling one.

I knew what I was in for. The fight met my expectations. The under-card exceeded it. Katsidis stole the show and got my entire living room jumping up and down. It was fast paced, bloody, with knock-downs. You also got stoppages in the first fight with Andrade and in the fight with Larios, too. So there was the violence of the sport for those that craved it. Combined with the skill of the two main combatants there was something for everyone. No, it wasn't an amazing A+ fight...but I'd give it a solid B. Worth the money and a decent Saturday night, right? Who expected anything else?

Masterful skill- Wright-Hopkins
A bloody war - Katsidis- Amonsot
A well paced, solid fight ending in a KO - Larios- Linares.
A quick, brutal beating- Andrade-Muller.

Doesn't that sound decently rounded?

I was actually one of the few who thought it was impossible for this fight not to be exciting. Both guys had to be active in order to win.
