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.
    Super six format was ****** but in general an 8 man tournament of the top 8 guys in a division is a great idea. It could happen in a year and then repeat itself after that...but boxing says no

          It makes a neat little theory but I can sure tell you the difference is not weak old ostarine.

              Wilder vs Scott, Ortiz 1, and Helenius were dives

              They should go back and change Sergio Martinez vs Kermit Cintron to a ko win for Sergio.

              They should go back and change Gabriel Campillo vs Tavoris Cloud to a W for Campillo.

              Scull gave Canelo a boxing lesson even if you didn't have him winning on points

              I don't care if fighters are on PEDS, let them take whatever.

                  I'm pretty sure that happens to all of us, does it not?

                  Even the ones who age gracefully are a little uglier than they were in their prime.

                    I agree, boxing does have the some of the most toxic and tribal fanbases.

                    But at least boxing events aren't typically known to have riots like soccer games or vandalism to celebrate when their favorite team wins like after the Super Bowl or World Series.

                    We just get drunk and cry on this forum when our favorite fighters lose.

                      Too true
                      Kickball fans are bloodthirsty savages

                      I'm hoping some boxing fans bases will switch sports.
