    How Boxing is today

    I think boxinng gets a little boring nowadays. I love how it was before, the brutal knockouts, the energy and the people.
    What do you guys think?

    thing about that is...: boxing is a bit safer now.

    The earlier stoppages, corner's throwing in the towel ect.. Back in the day, they would just leave fighters in there till one fell out.

    I still like boxing though. Anyone that's just in it for the brutal violence might as well just go watch bum fights instead

          Word. All the wack **** in boxing has always been there;

          shady promoters
          too much PPV
          too many belts
          fights held up cuz of $
          cherrypickin fighters

          Probably never goin away. Ain't enuf to get me on that ****in ******ed "boxing is dyin, lets watch MMA" bull****. Boxing is 4 life.

            I hate referees who stop the fights too soon & referees who dont count the full 10 count even if its a brutal knockout.

            biggest pet peeve of mine. count to 10 mofo then call off the fight.

            Jay Nady, Joe Cortez, & Tony Weeks is guilty of stopping fights too early. Even the great kenny bayless doesnt count the full 10.

              The big fights have great energy still.

              There is still alot of brutal knockouts every year.

              The only boring thing about boxing is the occasional boring fight, where the styles don't match up well.
