Why do alot of people act like if a fighter doesnt have ko power that they're boring?

[Rome-By-Ko]

but we called for the fight, we want the best to fight the best. we got that last saturday. im good

I'm good as well not Bradley's fault Devon did not want to take any risk and fight with no fire..

Notice how everyone in the crowd sits while fighters are just boxing? But when someone staggers, gets hurt, or gets dropped, the whole arena goes crazy? That's what they came to see. Adrenaline makes a crowd pleaser, and it's not there when 2 guys are just flicking jabs at each other.

i've got nor argument with that - i was really glad the fight took place. im just saying fights like that one are no good for boxing

and many 'boxing fans' need to get off their 'i appreciate the sweet science and i enjoy boring fights so i'm a better boxing fan than you MMA lovers' high horse

I agree the fight Sat was not the best one we have ever seen,but come on ask ya self why??It was Devon's fault put the blame were it should be on Devon..He quit he got his azz beat and was not willing to go balls to the wall..Bradley vs a fighter who is willing(aka Khan/Maidana)would be a great match up because of the willingness to mix it up and take risk..I believe this is all he is trying to say is that ya don't need a KO for a fight to be good or great..

What about Mosley Hoya 1,Berto Collazo,Khan Maidana,ect ect..These fights had drama because there were two fighters willing to fight not just because someone got wobbled or got KO'd or knockdown..These fights had two guys who both refused to lose..If ya have a guy not giving his all for fear or being uncertain it's not both guy's fault..I understand it was not the best fight but why does the guy who was taking risk(Bradley)get any of that blame??

It wasn't just Devon's fault - do you think all that headbutting is acceptable? something like 6 opponents now? all accidental? please...

I do like bradley apart from that though - he won me over in the fight against Holt.

And i agree, a KO isn't always necessary (Look at Mosley-Cotto, Mosley DLH1, soon to be Mosley-Pacquiao) - i'm just trying to say if people only watch boxing for exciting fights and KO's doesn't mean they're not a true boxing fan

I was making a generalized statement. Obviously there are exciting boxing matches. But those fights will never get the love that a shootout gets, and that shouldn't surprise people.

Blame Alexander for initiating the hugfest, but blame Bradley for allowing it. He sure as hell could have done more.

it's a matter of preference really. i don't know why larry gets bothered by other people's preference...to each his own motha****a.

It was Devon's fault the headbutts even happen with all his holding for one,two Bradley is a short fighter and if he gives up his position would lose a lot more it will take away from his strength's which is his height..Bradley's fast feet get him inside ya guard so to say and then guy's feel the need to punch and heads come together..You can see the difference between an intentional butt and an accidental one and as we seen Bradley has never been penalized for headbutts so what does that tell ya..

I like Mayweather.

I somewhat like Bradley


*** alexander....

Why should he have taken risk if Alexander would not??Alexander is a counter puncher and wanted Bradley to be reckless and foolish but Bradley is too smart for that..IMO Bradley took risk and any moment in that fight that was exciting was because of him,had Bradley done anymore he would have left openings to Devon imo and that would not have been smart..
