      berto got 2 entertining fights becuase he was againts an always entertianing fighter (ortiz) and one who did'nt respect his ass.. did he entertain vs collazo or urango ?... f0cker was a rabid clincher pre semi spotlight...

          Fighters that come to win but have enough skill to be entertaining when necessary.

              i voted to entertain just for the hell of it... but obviosuly for the fighter its better to win regardless. Beat him this time, look better next time or whatever the sayng is. But as a fan i like to see entertainment and winning. Gotta love rios attitutde he knows he will never be P4P but wants to win, entertain and go to war

                biased poll

                the people who believe in fighting to entertain aren't going to vote because it'll expose them as validation seeking emotional losers

                  Its a obvious answer but some people wouldn't want to admit it.

                    The Technical fighter is the most successful type of fighter because their strategy is the easiest way to victory. Mayweather, Ward, Rigondeaux, and Hopkins. Perfect examples of what the true nature of the sweet science is.

                      Not a Trainer in the world trains their fighter to be Entertaining, people are trying to change the sport of boxing for their own benefits (HBO!) and for the benefits of the fighter they likely personally

                      Sorry...Boxing don't work that way and never will! When a kid starts boxing it is no ***in Trainer that Trainers is fighter to take punches to the face so you can be entertaining. Not In Golden Gloves, Not In Amateurs and Not In The Olympics! Kinda shows you how ****** and simple minded some of the Boxing fans and Boxing Media and Networks like HBO have become. SAD!

                      Priority #1 should always be to WIN! And if the fight just so happen to be entertaining then that is great for the fans. But I don't want Boxing to become "FAKE" for these new fans to be entertained
