    deevel,

    also, it's ok if people don't enjoy certain fights - another thing is to not appreciate what they're watching. mannnnnnnnnny ppl didnt even appreciate what was going on in DLH-Mayweather.

      Not nessecarily. I enjoy a good technical boxing match if both fighters are at least looking to hurt one another! The man in my avi is one of the most technically gifted fighters in the game right now, and he always puts on a good, entertaining performance. Why?....He looks for the kill, and is not contempt with just trying to pity pat his way to a points victory.

        Floyd landed the hardest right straights I've ever seen him throw. He was loading up on those all night and when he knew they counldn't do damage he wen't for the U.D...The logical choice.

          Cant say he was trying to knock Baldo out. However he was landing some nice combos until he hurt his hand in the 7th round. After that, it got very boring. Spectators were leaving, I think Michael Jordan left in the 10th or something? Lol...

            I dont think that they didnt appreciate it. Like i said, it has alot to do with the way they hyped this fight to be the "Fight to save boxing", and in the end, it ended up being more of a glorified sparring session.

              i'll give it to you, it didnt live up to it's billing but it wasnt bad and I DEFINITELY dont see it as a glorified sparring session. Wasnt it going to be a draw if it wasnt for 1 point in Floyd's favor?

                  It was fairly boring IMO, not mind numbing boring like Wlad/Ibragimov or Spinks/Taylor but it wasn't worth waking up at 6 in the morning for.

                      He really wasn't, the right he hit Gatti with were worse. He was never going for the KO, Baldo didn't land jack and that what made it boring.

                      It wasn't a one sided beatdown like Gatti-Mayweather but it was one sided in the aspect that Floyd was trying to win doing the least amount of "fighting"
