North Americans must unite to save the sport of Boxing.

One overrated prospect loses to a seasoned vetran and it's the end of the world? No, besides no one owns boxing. Maybe when Europeans start dominating the sport and giving fighters the respect that they can't get in the US then we will pay attention again.

A seasoned veteran?

lol you should all migrate to mma...


Mexico will be fine, i think. Nobody will beat them in the lower divisions

The sport was invented in England. In 1867, Londoner John Chambers formulated the 12 rules for the Marquess of Queensbury that formed the basis for modern boxing and is largely credited with its invention.

it was evolved and perfected by america. just like Pitbulls formally Amstaffs and many other things haha.

its ours, austin

Dude has won multiple regional titles overseas even thought this is his first Word Championship. The guy is no spring chicken. 230 Am fights compared to Jacobs measly experience I'm not surprised the better and more experienced fighter won. So act like you know what your talking about again.

James Figg is recognized as the first official "Heavyweight Champion"...now, granted, it was the Championship of England; but the first recognized American Champ with any kind of stability didin't come around for another hundred years or so....John L. Sullivan. So, the current evolution of the sport could be looked at as simply the chickens home to roost.

Now, in my honest opionion, the only thing that will boost the populartiy of the sport in the immediate future in the U.S. is one of two things....and one, I think would be disasterous for the economy and benefit MMA moreso than boxing in the U.S. at the moment; and that is an out and out depression that would force young men to earn money any way they could, which is similar to how the "Golden age" of boxing began around the stock market crash of 1929.

The other, and more desireable solution, revolves around amateur boxing progams at high schools and colleges involving scholarships and professional scouts and short term contracts: similar to how other sports in the U.S operate, aka football, baseball, and basketball.

Farfetched, yes; but it would provide young fighters with a solid education, solid income for the first 5 or so years of their professional careers, new "sweethearts" for the public to fall in love with, provided the major networks....ABC, CBS, NBC could be provided to air tournaments on free tv exposing young fighters to young potential fans.

There's more; but i don't want to bore.

I will never like MMA. The Americans are too pampered and need to get their grit and backbone back. If Europe starts to do well, we will respond, stronger than ever.

None of those pansy finesse soccer players could make it in a mans sport. Only real NFL players can make the cut. Maybe a few meatheads from Rugby, if they tried real hard.

Hahahahaha what a dumbass. Linemen are 300+ pounds of lard, how does that make a man's sport? Any sport that has any type of physical expectation is manlier than american football. (hockey,rugby, basketball, soccer, even competitve swimming)

The pro game and amateur game are two different things.

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

I think Kessler will end up winning the super 6 if he gets Ward in Denmark in the final, and even if Ward wins I am 100% positive Le Tombeur takes him. Cleverly is the future at 175. Pirog and Golovkin are the future at middle.

the top weights are all Euros

Could you be more clueless?



Cleverly isn't even the future of his next visit to the bathroom - one of his stools has more star quality than he does.



Kessler doesn't beat Ward anywhere in his life. As for Bute, get real. Ward will kick that guy's ass, wait and see if they fight.

[D-MiZe]

Bellew has more chance of being the dominant force at 175 then Cleverly does.
