      I do too like that style despite preferring pressure fighters. Just not fighters that do bare minimum to win offensively as shown in the previous weekend.

      Not going to lie and deny that I don't like watching sloppy brawlers like Maidana and Porter, but it be nice if there were methodical pressure in-fighters that cut the ring, have precise varied punch selection and are able to weave through punches in the inside as they aren't that common today.

      Only see fighters that two out of three the likes of Mbilli, Kabayel and probably Pitbull Cruz to a degree despite his limited offensive arsenal.

        Those two are big-headed for sure
        But, as much as I have always hated Oscar, I must admit that Canelo is uglier

          Saul was a good face who made most of the big fights that count though

          gave Bivol the shot that turned him into a star

                Running around the ring like Mayweather, Lara and Shakur isn't boxing or slick.

                    its usually not the promoters fault that potential big fights dont happen, they got over ruled by one of the boxers who dont want the fight now or at all

                      Referees should have age limits. As a referee you need to be able to react at a hair's notice, be able to physically dive between boxers to stop the action if need be. If you can't do that then we get the debacle that is Breidis vs Glowacki. Look at Robert Byrd the ref at the end of the 2nd round, not hearing the bell and waddles towards the fighters instead of taking charge.




                      Also I think tournaments are dumb as simply too much time between brackets makes me lose interest. The much acclaimed Super 6 at SMW took 2 years to complete.

                      Boxing rings, there should be an option for a rectangular ring. I think it would be funny.
