Same as it is, for me, every year -

Boxing is still not a sport
Keeps it's score a secret
In fact, has no real scoring system other than a knockdown
Still has no retirement fund in place for those who retire
Doesn't regulate roid usage (roids are not the demons fans make them out to be)
Judges still have the worst POV in the entire arena.

Same ol, same ol.

My gripe of 2024 are certain promoters marketing YouTube Wannabes as professional boxers and then stuffing it down our faces. Keep that on the Disney Channel Bruh...

Boxing answer's to Boxing and nothing or nobody else, it has no conscience no shame and no reason to change or even care. And yet i still am hooked on the fight inside the ring.

100% ....Owen Lewis just said the quiet part out loud..... WE are all tired of Saul “Canelo” Alvarez taking on hopelessly outmatched opponent after hopelessly outmatched opponent, all the while insisting that he’ll fight anyone and that he’s the best fighter in the sport. Amen to that!

It’s disappointing behavior from a sure-shot Hall of Famer and it’s bundled David Benavidez out of a defining fight he surely deserved. That boxing media continues to repeat ad nauseam that Canelo is the face of the sport and that his legacy is secure grates on me too. After the five consecutive dull, predictable unanimous decision wins Canelo has coughed up in recent fights, what I think those who cover the sport should be highlighting – especially in light of what Usyk, Crawford, and Inoue are doing – is that it’s time for boxing to replace its face.
