Do you consider yourself a die hard boxing fan or casual?

[CubanGuyNYC]

I’ve been a boxing fan since Ali-Frazier II. I was just a kid. My attention to the sport has ebbed and flowed over the years, depending on various factors — mostly how great the competition was. I’m not a die-hard, but I’m far from casual. My casual friends used to rely on me for fight info. I’ve trained and sparred, and actually know how to score a fight. Never ceases to amaze me how many guys here, who don’t consider themselves casual, don’t know how to score a boxing match.

I like boxing. Isn’t that enough?

Considering the shape boxing is in now, knowing everyone on the televised undercard makes you a hardcore. If you're familiar with the entire undercard you're probably some type of degenerate with nothing better to do.

Outside of a few boxers, most boxers are unknown to casuals. If a self proclaimed casual knows who Naoya Inoue or Oleksandr Usyk are, i’m impressed. If they’ve seen fights of Frank Sanchez and Filip Hrgovic, and know who they are, I would see them as being above a casual.

If they are “younger” fans and have seen fights from the 60s-90s, I would consider them hardcore because that means you have to go on youtube and go out of your way to look for these fights and sit there and watch them. That’s hardcore, even if they’re just watching the old big fights. That’s still hardcore. The younger gen is now sitting there watching tik tok and stuff.

Casuals don’t just sit there searching for old fights to watch on youtube.

I was very hardcore back in the day. You had so many channels airing fights frequently that you were able to follow a lot of fighters throughout their career either they won a title or not. Now there is not so much boxing like it used to be.
