Hard to be a boxing fan right now.

[Danny Gunz]

Its frustrating definetly, the fighters are bigger drama queens then ever now,along with the promoters.

Disgusting how the big fights either cant be made or take forever to get made. And when they do we have to be ready for the fight to end on some anti climactic moment.

Recently I have been more focused on the amateur circuit in my area then the pros.Trying to also take my own amateur career to a higher level soon.

I love the sport but that doesnt mean I have to idolize these pathetic millionaires only fighting twice a year.

[Grand Champ]

Between Bradley vs Alexander, Pac-Floyd not fighting each other, and this sad excuse for a Heavyweight Title fight, this is why MMA and WWE are kicking Boxing's ass. Say what you will about either, but at least they make matches people want to see and have conclusive finishes.

I'm finding it more and more difficult to get excited about boxing matches anymore. I used to watch as much as I could, but now there are only a few fighters I can get excited about watching anymore. Anyone else feel like this lately?

not really. this fight had a freak injury in it. happens in all sports.

i remember henin pulling out of grand slam tennis final infront of a packed crowd after 1 game not long ago, ronaldo had seizures before the world cup final and was like a zombie in the game, zidane was injured before the 2002 world cup as it's main attraction, we've had formula one races called off and decided behind safety cars like the farcical us grand prix a little while back...

it's part of the spectacle, not knowing what to expect and what makes sport so appealing.

why be miserable and dwell on the negatives when we have had some great fights recently? rio-acosta, maidana-khan, soto-antillon, marquez-katsidis all proved boxing is easily the greatest and most dramatic sport in the world. no 1st round stoppage due to an injury is going to change that.

and wwe is not a sport by the way. you realise all wrestling bouts are fixed and all confrontations planned? might aswell compare the wwe with all the movies out at the box office instead of boxing. only dumbasses would consider the wwe a sport

The second you invoked WWE into your paragraph is the second you stopped being taken serious. The rest of your post after that was a steaming pile of garbage.

I dont care if it is not mainstream anymore I love the sport of Boxing now more than ever. There are great fights every weekend I believe it is just that Boxing is having a hard time getting these fights to the general public. I have no intention of watching mma or wwe ever in my life.

This......

[IIG]

Don't watch it then you fucking faggot! Go watch sweaty men roll around the floor with their legs wrapped around each other if that's what you are into.

Basically. The sport and the fans won't miss you.

I'm with the first poster, there's no way that fight tonight was as good as Rocky IV or even Rocky V.

[Money Shot]

At least he put MMA and WWE in the same sentence. That he got right.
