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

There arent many real boxing fans on this site.

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

co-sign 100%. Burner is absolutely right and Dawson is the perfect example. He is widely derided on this forum, yet in my book he is elite. He shut Adamaek out for 11 rds, which is even more impressive when you examine what Adamek has done since at HW and also at cruiser when he beat Cunningham in close fight.

We have people on this forum saying silly things about Dawson!!!!!

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?

All you guys must REALLY HATE HOPKINS then cuz he is the WORST most boring piece of SHHHHHHH to ever step into the ring. if you want to turn friends off from boxing forever pop in any of his fights. REAL TALK homie

yes, boxers do what they need to do to win. it may not be exciting, but they get the win. but they need to realize that people are paying money to watch them and be entertained. at the end the day, boxing is still a sport and still entertainment.

i hate hearing about "real" fans who appreciate the sport, "casual" fans aka "fake" fans. news flash. we are ALL fans. do you want a cookie for being a "real" fan? because in the end no one gives a shiiiit.

I wish the mods would delete this baiting thread

At least their was a another fight on. Mayol-Omar was entertaining enough. You never know what your gonna get when you see Rodel, although it will probably involve a headbutt.

Ward showed great skill and dominated the fight from start to finish. Great fight in my opinion. If you don't appreciate what Ward does in the ring then don't watch the fight. It's really that simple.
