Boxing is a joke now

[Brian13]

After staying up to watch one of the ****test fights of the year last night [woods V tarver] , I now think boxing has had its day and will die out in the near future. there is only a few ways of saving itself and heres how.

How to save boxing:
1. DISBAND the WBO [ the WBO is an absolute ****ing joke of an organistaion and should have never been set up]
2. BAN clinching it appears every fighter who is in trouble clinches to the opponent even if its for the rest of the fight.
3. Make a champion have only 1 opponent he can choose in a certain time period.
4. Make all title fights 10 rounds instead of 12. Twelve rounds is bad if its a crap fight theres nothing worse.
5. Change the weight of the gloves make them heavier or lighter I dont care because its a reason for making fighters tired after the last few rounds
6. There should be 5 judges not 3 because of the amount of terrible decisions.

Any one agree or disagree

maybe the problem was you watched Tarver vs Woods. What you expect, Marquez vs Vazquez???

All those ideas are weak, except #6, I have no problem with. #1 I would revise to have less organizations (WBC, WBO, etc.), less belts would be better.

I know, that's what I'm sayin, that was the only fight I didn't watch. LOL@Tarver & Woods. Who???

Agree to disagree my friend. Boxing is more alive than ever thanks to the great matchups this year. WBO is ****e though. I like the idea of 5 judges. But championship fights should be 15 rounds instead of 12. I suppose you want them fighting in underwear with mangled cauliflower ears and their legs wrapped around each other ever so gently (UFC clinching).

Thats what I did as well. After the Johnson Dawson fight, I switched over to HBO the rest of the night. The times I did flip back over, Woods head was getting snapped back like a Pez dispenser.....

Easy to forget about the other 3 great fights last night, I suppose.

And people have been saying "boxing is dead" or "boxing will die in the near future" for years and years. Call me crazy, but I like boxing's chances of staying alive and well.


EDIT: Yeah, ****ers... I screwed up the quote.
