    If people simply appreciated boxing for what it is, there would be far more boxing on tv.
    It is the fighters fault.

    The fighter wants to get paid. For me to give up my money or my time I want something in exchange. What I want is an entertaining fight.

    What pro boxing is, is a form of entertainment for people to spend their money on.

            Tonight's performance by Wlad wasn't the greatest, but he won fairly easily. He dominated basically with one punch, but it got frustrating seeing him not use his right hand. Then when he did use it, it landed and was effective, but then he would stop using it again. IMO he's the best in the division and Im not trying to get upset because of this one fight. Im hoping his next fight's will be better and provide more excitement.

              That was a let down, I was all hyped up for this fight, even cracked open a bottle of JD for a few shots haha. I was hoping for a good fight, instead it was a tacitcal jab fest for 12 rounds without any element of danger. At least Wladimir gave a reason for it, and admitted that it may have not been what the fans wanted, glad I wasn't a ticket holder though.

                just totally reinforces why people do not like wlad as a fighter. nice guy, smart guy, well spoken...absolutely sobering and aggravating to watch him box though.

                    Of course there is more for boxing fans than just an entertaining fight but nonetheless, if no fights were entertaining we wouldn't be watching them at all. We watch fights because we are entertained by them. I bet your favourite fight is a very entertaining one not just a boring jab fest with neither fighter really doing anything. It's fine if you can appreciate a fight for what it is but to keep anything alive and active it needs to entertain. If you can't understand that, then we need to say no more

                      The most exciting part of this fight was when Michael Buffer said: "Let's get ready to rumble." At the end of 12 rounds the fighters (and I use the term for lack of a better one) were still getting ready to rumble.

                      It was a lackluster performance from I guy touted to be the top heavy in the sport. Despite outweighing this guy by a zillion pounds, Vlad treated him with the type of reverence reserved for someone like Sonny Liston! Although this little runt couldn't hurt him with his best shot, Klitschko insisted on acting like a clit by pulling two-fisted barrages that would've taken his much shorter rival out within the first five rounds. Tyson would've dispatched this bum in 30 seconds!

                      During the post-fight interview, Klitch shamelessly admitted that he used his right sparingly for fear of missing and leaving himself open to counter-punches. Give me a ****ing break!

                      The once illustrious division has turned to mush... Somebody bring back Tyson! Heck, bring back Holmes, Cooney, Foreman, Ali, Frazier, Norton, even Lewis, for heaven's sake...
