I am very close to stop following boxing

[ELPacman]

As crazy as it is, following the pandemic and being stuck in so much, I went down a rabbit hole for arm wrestling. You think boxing is niche, try that one. Who would of know there was so much technique and skill involved? I watched 1 video of the most popular arm wrestler on the planet, Devon Laratt and was immediately hooked.

The top level competitors in heavyweight are all hella entertaining. They post constantly on Youtube so you can follow and get to know them. And the best part of it all? It is NONSTOP the best facing the best, almost every month or two. Like, there is no one is scared to face someone or take a loss. I mean, the most damage they'll inflict is a potential broken arm/torn bicep or some other hand/arm injury, though it is mostly rare at the high level. It gives me great satisfaction to watch knowing, these guys can come back the next month and be right back at it. Not to mention, they seem to get better the older they are, rather than a sport like boxing where age only degrades you.

Just look up Devon Laratt highlights on youtube and then follow his channel. If he doesn't make you hooked to the sport, I don't know who would.

I have a thread

Why is losing once so horrible in the sport of boxing?

I doubt I will stop following but I definitely miss a lot of cards these days, years back I was watching every hbo and showtime card.

Boxing hasn't been great overall for 5 or 6 years imo.

[Pigeons]

I barely watch anymore. I'm mostly here to troll.

I wish that every boxer should manage their own career and well make a contest on who has the most highest undefeated record. I think this will make boxing become interesting. I would love it.

It was also much easier , with boxing being on only 4/5 networks
Predominantly on 3 HBO , Showtime and ESPN

This sport doesn`t give me true satisfaction any more.

I want Bivol -Beterbiev, Crawford -Spence, Canelo - Benavidez, Fury - Usyk, Joshua -Wilder..

I will probably get Beterbiev -Callum Smith, Bivol -Munguia, Canelo - Ryder ( this one for sure, lol), Fury -Wilder 4, Joshua -Whyte 2.

I am too old for that sh.it.

I can`t see top dogs in Fury and Usyk fighting each other or them fighting other top 10 contenders. It is frustrating.

I can`t even get heavyweight contenders fighting each other. Contenders are fighting no hopers, fringe contenders are fighting journeymen.

I love this sport, but too many pointless fights happen on elite level.

I don't think the sport will miss you, Ive witnessed the ups and downs of boxing going on 60 yrs, nothing beats a great matchup in a boxing ring and they always keep coming, you cant have great all of the time otherwise great would be ordinary, enjoy the art of boxing instead of focusing on the only the main event.

if you only want to watch mega fights then boxing is trash and there is no need to follow it. there are other good and interesting fights though. it's enough for me because i follow several sports. i understand people who only follow boxing. what we get in recent years is not enough.

[Mammoth]

Stop following it then. Nobody gives a ****.
