Had some non-boxing fan friends over last night, and frankly I was embarrassed.

    Hell I had people over during the Kessler fight and I said it straight up that Ward is sometimes boring, and it might not be a good fight.
    I didn't even tell them I'd be watching it, which is why when it was so horrible I switched it off.

        I was kind of mad when Arreola fought so bad against Adamek. I hyped the fight up and he looked like a complete bum, which I guess I should have expected. My friends liked the Angulo KO though.

          another night i stayed up to watch some bull**** what with williams v cintron and pacquiao clottey the most enjoyable fights i have seen live recently was cotto vs foreman and martinez v pavlik and they weren't exactly incredible

          ward's hitting and holding combined with green being a complete disgrace to the sport made for a snore fest i don't blame you for switching it off
          jumptron?

          what are you talking about, that was pure entertainment!!!!

They couldn't believe how bad the Ward/Green fight was. I don't think I've done this in a while, but I turned off the TV at round 6 it was so bad. I had no interest in watching the rest whatsoever. They just looked at me and said this is the worst thing I've ever seen.

                They don't hate boxing, but that fight didn't help.

                Thoughts?

                c'mon man, didn't you see ward/kessler? why'd you invite them to another ward hugfest?

                  Everyfight doesnt have to be a toe to toe war for me to be entertained.

                  I dont mind a guy showing off his inside fighting ability. It was beautiful to watch Ward work him over the inside.

                      Agreed. Ward's gameplan was excellent and worked great. I don't mind guys getting inside like that as long as they are throwing not holding.

                      The fight was kind of boring as it was clear what was going to happen but I sat through it, though I could see why I wouldn't if I had some people who weren't boxing fans. That's why I only watch boxing by myself (last night) or with other boxing fans.
