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

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.

There arent many real boxing fans on this site.

Every fight has to be Gatti-Ward for them to enjoy it.

I appreciate Ward's talent but his fights have been snoozers, if he had that killer instinct or was any kind of finisher he could be a hall of fame fighter. But i dont know how much more I can watch his clinching fights.

Allan Green didnt help at all either though.

Ward's fights are always boring. His style is much more effective than they are exciting. And I say this with great respect for his obvious talents.

Have them over for Diaz vs JMM 2

It was a bad fight to pick to watch with non-boxing fans. I warned the person I was watching with that it would be the least exciting of the tournament by a long mile.

I don't get though when people say they switched off after round 1 or round 6 etc. Was it really that bad to watch? I sat through it fine. And I normally have short attention span when it comes to TV.

this i really agree with not that many people appreciate the the talent and skills of ward,dirrell,alexander,dawson,and mayweather

[MurderDeathKill]

Shoulda picked a better fight to entertain them with. I don't think it was that bad. And if your friends don't wanna watch boxing that's their loss.

[ModernTalking]

They need to see some Pac fight.

I'm one of the biggest boxing fans ever, and we had a dinner party last night that happened to be on the same night as the fight, so I had the fight on while my guests were here. 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?

You should invite them to fights you are more sure will turn into barn burners. Like anytime Paul Williams fights a credible opponent (cept Kermit the Frog) there will be action because he will get hit and he will keep throwin non-stop. If Martinez and PWill rematch invite them to that one.

Froch vs Abraham has the potential to be a brutal fight also.

[baracuda]

the fight was a complete joke for real...ward , floyd ,kevin jonhnson, ruiz are some of the reasons why boxing is dying......**** them boring sons of bitches forreal!
