    2014 for boxing has been horrible so far.

    Fightless Saturdays , Controversial decision , seemingly fixed fights. Boxing needs to do better than this. I love the sport but this is getting ridiculous . That card last night was terrible.

    Maybe you should try watching boxing on other networks than sho, hbo, or espn.

    Guerrero vs Rosas and Saengthep vs Kogawa were both foty candidates and that happened in the first 3 months of the year. Thats not a bad start of the year IMO. The first quarter of the year is usually slow for boxing in general.

      Matchroom put on mismatches yesterday.

      Golden Boy keeps sinking to new lows with fixed fights and shady judges.

      Top Rank has PPVs like Pacquiao-Bradley II with a good main event, but weak undercards.

      But on a positive note, the Main Events card and Russian card yesterday were good.
      That Main Event card last night was pretty good huh. I watched that over the non-sense on Showtime.

        Don't worry. Pac/Bradley 2 will save boxing.

        Pac to the rescue as usual.

          I feel exact way man , I follow other sports too and in that the better team or better man always gets the decision but in boxing its the other way sometimes.

                I've enjoyed it so far but I am still very new to boxing but I can understand why fans would be feeling it's a let down.

                  What did you expect would happen once GBP took control of showtimes entire budget?

                  Why do you think HBO got rid of them?

                  A lot of you clowns were talking up GBP when they were feeding you 3-4 fights in one night just because you knew the fighters names. Those events were mostly awful.

                  ****ing zab vs malignaggi, trout vs Lara, bhop fighting dudes I never even heard of, flys vs maidana, **** out of here w this bs, Now we got dudes taking dives, and judges being paid off damn near every GBP event. If it ain't one thing it's another with this company.

                  GBP is pure garbage, about time you guys realized it.
