We need real fights, not exhibition matches

[joepal]

Yeah Manny Pacquiao and Marco Antonio Barrera sure gave us an awful exhibition match....

Pac's one-sided ultra-violent thrashing of Erik Morales exempts him from unleashing the beast for at least two fights.

He's just a man you know.

I guess it just comes down to preference. Some guys like to watch a Capoeira type boxing match, and some just prefer to watch 2 guys battle it out in a fight where both combatants put it all on the line. Those fans of the so-called "sweet science" have to understand that just because some guys aren't fans of fighters such as: Cory Spinks, Bhop, Winky, Floyd, etc.... doesnt mean that we're not "real" boxing fans. It just comes down to a matter of preference, and we "prefer" to see an actual FIGHT. Not a dance recital.

See you started out well then you finished off in a very biased manner. Everybody just needs to respect everybody's preference. Not everybody wants to see a organized unskilled bar fight. **** I look like paying for a bar fight when I can go outside everyday to see that **** for free.
You can't say because two people aren't brawling they are not putting it all on the line.

You're not getting it. We should be the number one sport by now. It has been said time and again that the most rigorous sport ever is the one called boxing, where two men are pitted against each other in combat.

We should at least get mainstream recognition.

How is that BS?

As i stated before, you dont have to "brawl" in order for a fight to be entertaining. JMM is a technical fighter, yet he puts it all on the line and tries to take his opponent out. Same for a prime Barrera. What Barrera did to Naz was a beautifull display of pure boxing skills, and he did it in a ferocious, entertaining way. Spinks on the other hand............................

JMM is a warrior, the best in the business.

He should be the epitome of the "sweet science", and not just some pretty boy doing jumping jacks to look as if he's fighting.

Since when did fighters start getting passes on performance? Especially from you?

WTF is that supposed to mean?

Thats your opinion that said fighter isn't putting it all on the line. Damn near all fights are entertaining to me. So to me it doesn't matter if a person is trying to KO a person or not as long as they don't pull a Andre Dirrell.
