Boxing Snobs calling people casual fans for not appreciating slick boxing

[Jloro]

Yeah but as a steelers fan i know that the steelers defense is gonna "hit" someone! The Rigo Donair fight was like watching Jacksonville and Cleveland play to a 0-0 tie

lol it wasn't that bad. I enjoyed it more than a lot of other fights

Well looking at your sig i can see why LOL! Aaron Pryor went out to hurt people though.

there all from my city ezzard charles once killed a guy in the ring after that he was never the same

by that definition donaire was more boring then rigo

You are correct. I blame them both for making a boring fight. Its cool if they wanna do the chess match boxing. Just dont get mad when people boo. At the lower weights like 122 there should be a high punch output from both fighters.

the irony is everyone screaming boring probably thought the donaire Nishioka fight was exciting funny how that works

More to Boxing than just Winning

Winning is not everything in boxing. Ability to perform with climatic endings completes the sport. With these elements working together, it helps create the fighters myth.

by everyones logic early ali was boring ya he knocked guys out hes a heavy weight but he was a so called "boring" fighter for his time

[..WaRSpencE..]

Ward, hopkins, and PBF are diffrent. Ward went out and put a hurting on Dawson, Hopkins is almost 50 and when he was prime he knocked people out, and PBF well he's slightly more entertaining then Rigo. yeah you arn;t getting touched but you arn't exactly hurting anyone either. it's like they are playing tag who the *** wants to watch that.

That Rigo fight was just plain flat out boring! rigo gets all the credit i thought he won and i think he's very skilled. But *** was it a snooze fest.

Rigo can't get blamed for Donaire's chin..Rigo was landing some nasty lefts and knocked that eye out of commission in the 12th but Donaire is a tough SOB..gotta give him his due..

Rigo has 12 pro fights and 8 KO's that's not a bad KO%..then again..he's not a brawler/power puncher to where he's laying opponents out flat..his best attribute is his footwork, speed and reflexes..

I do wish he'd throw more combinations..but we all know he was being cautious from letting Donaire crack him with a counter he wouldn't recover from..and he did what he had to do..and made Donaire look really bad..

It was a like watching a fencing match! It was the most boring ***ing display of not trying to hurt someone. It's Boxing! The object is to hurt the other guy not bounce a bunch of arm punches off a guys head. Rigo is very skilled boxer but *** that i can still think he's a boring ass boxer and he isn't gonna headline any PPV fights anytime soon.

Niether is Donaire

[mikinoki]

Two guys fighting to the finish, but just one guy wins because he's the better man, and that's what the god damned sport is about.
