This place never ceases to amaze me. "Real Men"? Since when are you fit to judge "real men"? I've been watching boxing for forty years, and even fought, and I've rarely ever felt this kind of disrespect for the men who come into the ring to face another man. You don't like the way Lara and his kind fight? That's fine. Save your money. But, please, save that judgmental bullshit. Landy's fought successfully on an international level for years. He rose from the canvass twice to make Anglo quit -- a better Perro than showed up last night, by the way. What makes you worthy of putting down a fighter of Lara's caliber? Are you Marvin Hagler, by any chance?

I tune in to watch real men fight, not track and field. I don't sit down to watch someone retreat / back away from confrontation.

People pay to get entertained, Lara does not entertain anybody but his few fans.

That dude needs to get in the ring and get clocked once. And see how much of a real man he is. Not many can do what Lara was able to do. Especially after taking the type of punishment that he took to the body.

Dude there are a bunch of people here calling it a bore only the bottom 2 fights where worth anything, and lets not forget the main event even showtime had to admit it was anticlimactic with that bizarre stopage, and for me it was not that but the fact that Angulo forgot his arms at home he was mr pity pat from round one. iNot to mention that the previous fight made me wanna blow my brains out. I was entertained by two of the 4 fights in the ppv card BECAUSE THEY WHERE NOT MISMATCHES, but the guys who entertained where the dudes that weren't even supposed to air and Warakawa and Linares. The main event was lame the "co" main event made me want to shoot myself.

Nobody got their moneys worth, but the guys with your perspective in your mind as soon as they punch each other in the face is worth it. To me worth it is a fight where i dont know who is going to win, and that shows who is the best. You can watch meaningless boxing fights and mismatches of dudes punching each other in the face for free,but ppv has to be more than that.

But directed to your hate of master counter punchers goes this;The name of the game is hit and don't get hit, like it or not thats what it is, and you are alienating the cream of the crop when you say you only want to watch come forward fighters without even having a legit reason to hate the rest. A guy who can moves can still mangle someones face and k.o them he will just try to do it and not get hit in the process that takes real skills.

Good post. There can be so many better fights being made on PPV. Boxing can be better if PPV's had 3 title fights which are competitive are not just boring fillers. Imagine a PPV card.......

Canelo vs Lara
Rigo vs Santa Cruz
Thurman vs Charlo Brother
Mares vs Russell

That will make every Boxing order this PPV for $60.

Stop it, man, you're killing me. The reason why they put together those garbage cards with one worthy fight, and the rest fillers, is because boxing fans insist on being taken to the cleaners. If people spoke with their wallets and refused to pay for just one good match-up, things would change quick. I never even pay for a PPV unless some friends are chipping in. It's not like I can't afford it, but I refuse to pay the kind of money they're asking for the product they're offering. What you just described should be the norm, not the exception. PPVs were originally designed for super-fights, not the watered-down cards they've morphed into.

I'm not saying that I favor any style because I really don't, and styles make fights too takes two to tango, but quality cant be denied no matter the style. What i really cant stand and find incredibly boring are mismatches but those usually end quickly thank God, or we would all feel like I felt watching Mijares vs Cruz last night I was just hoping Mijares would trip and fall asleep anything, but the main event gets a pass in my book because nobody expected Angulo to pity pat from the second the bell started I don't think even Canelo expected that.

Such situations are usually avoided when ppv is the best facing the second best etc the other fights can be great match making. It used to be that way idk wtf is up with this new model that they are trying to get us to pay for... nothing is more exciting than a competitive fight or even a fight that you know can be turned any second . PPV events will soon loose the event feel.

You'd have an argument if Perro didn't get his SKULL CAVED IN from that track star you speak of

Just admit your boy is average at best....getting punched in the same spot 100 times.....my 14 year old nephew would have enough sense to move his head from time to time

Wow i Think you just retired him, isnt he o nevera Lara thread by The way. Bro any good Cuban bakeries in Orlando

[antawain28]

Nobody truly cares about Lara except for his 12 fans in this forum.

Again, we the customers who pay for events want to see action in our PPV events. I would seriously throw up if I ever saw Lara not as the main event but EVEN as part of a PPV card. Extremely boring fighter, we fans do not considering running backwards and retreating entertainment.

He can stay fighting on regular SHOWTIME though, I can always skip those fights like I do with Rigondeaux.

I am surprised that you can even speak with GGG's **** lodged in your throat ****** STFU
