Round by Round Coverage; Klitschko-Ibragimov

[Steak]

Why do boxing fans feel they should be "entertained"

Wlad is fighting smart, Ibragimov doesn't have enough skill to do anything about it. So there's no blood, no knockdowns, so what.

Appreciate the fight for what it is.

the whole ****ing point of boxing is to entertain, just like any other sport! the hell are you thinking?

that being said, this fight isnt that that bad, but could be incredibly way better

[Banderivets]

Is this a stall-fest or a lot of missing? Abt. how many punches are each fighter throwing per rnd? I can't see the fight, but that sounds like a good thing.

Nah, Igy is not doing **** but not really allowing Wlad to throw the right.

Wlad keeps landing the jab. Anytime Wlad lands the right Igy is in trouble but just no room to follow up.

[TheGreatA]

Now Steward is telling Wladimir to throw more punches.

at this point i would just avoid avoid sultant and take the belts home. crappy for the fans but its a win.

[Mickey Gomez]

Because right or wrong they pay money or give up their time to watch the fight. Sports are entertainment, like it or not.

DKM

Sports are entertainment? So an amateur boxer fighting in an empty gym is doing it to entertain people?

Sport" comes from the old French word desport meaning "leisure" not "entertain".

Well, it's a fight that people pay for. The whole point of this sport (remember, this is sport. Played for entertainment.) is to entertain people and make guys like us pay to watch certain fighters for which they then get paid themselves. Without entertainment in fights no one pays to see them and then they don't get paid. This is their business right? Their job. They need to get paid to do it and to get paid they need to entertain the idiots willing to buy this crap.

If there is no 'fight', they're not entertaining which is as much a part of their job as it is to just beat the other guys down. Thats why no one is appreciating this fight for what it is. There is nothing to appreciate. We pay their purses (not that I'm paying or or even watching this fight. I knew it was going to be ****. All heavyweight fights are ****e now) and unless we get entertained why the hell would we want to pay their purse again?

[Banderivets]

Oh for ****s sake..........dunno who to blame..........Igy is not doing ****......at least Wlad tries to throw the right.

[GoodBoxfella]

Ohh Wlad almost stopped him. come on 1 more round!!

[warp1432]

Hahhahahahah.

"Yeah I tried to knock out Barney Rubble"

hahahahahahah oh god jim.

[Crazylegs77]

Ibragamov needs to just muster all his remaining energy and go ****house in the next round and get KOd trying.
