Guys like Haney, Shakur and Ortiz are the death of boxing

[MONGOOSE66]

Why anyone would support guys who are hurting the sport is beyond me.

And ppl wonder why boxing has become a niche sport.

You want boxing to keep dying then just keep supporting those type of guys

Like I said before, I love the art of boxing but the guys you mentioned are great when they meet a fighter less than themselves but when they meet a REAL threat. They are horrible to watch. I won’t pay for that sheeit again.

I love a good barnburner scrap but I also enjoy the sweet science. Different fighters have different skill sets they have to use in order to gain the victory. It's been that way since the gladiators when one dude with a net was fighting another dude with a sword. It's the contrast in styles and how they try to defeat their opponent that makes boxing more than a backyard brawl.

Last night's debacle kinda reminded me of the Casimero/Rigo fight (although I'd argue Ortiz was more successful in his offense than Rigo was).

There are a handful of fans on this board that seem frustrated Teo can't effectively cut off the ring or jab. The answer for them is that elusive fighters like Ortiz and Martin (who dropped Teo twice) just stand in front of Lopez rather than Teofimo developing some actual boxing skills.

I wonder how Teofimo beat Lomachenko with no actual boxing skills ?

Hey boring fights will get you laid. Next time just give your woman those beer buzzed eyes while you both are not paying attention to the fight. It's on like Donkey Kong..

Nah bro.

It's more like when you smoke weed with a girl who doesn't smoke much.

She's going to sleep on the couch ASAP.
While you think to yourself " why the f**k did we do that ".

Haney is not that bad. There is a reason why would Tank fight Benn, but not Haney. KO artists are overrated.

The only reason Fury left Ngannou alone was his KO danger.
