I dislike how the running argument is used by Roach whenever it suits his agenda. He didn't say anything whenever Khan ran when he was under his tutelage.

I mean, if you are "judging" and giving your opinion on the fight, personal preference will always play a role.
You could flip it around both ways. There are people who don't like watching brawlers or respect them. Im sure personal preference has dictated their judging as well

Learn to cut off the ring and jab your way inside instead of making lame excuses.Originally posted by Wild Apache View PostThrew more, landed more = ran now.

provo needs to go to train with the "drunk" the same guy that improved maidana's game will do it for him too. ruslan has no jab, no head movement, he stops everything with his face. he is already a beast, the "drunk" will give him a gameplan for every fight and turn him into a monster.

Agreed. One man has his face rearranged but the devaluation of the sport makes people think that's the "sweet science".

I'm a fight fan, I come to see a fight. I come to see 2 warriors refusing to back down, not one guy going backwards the entire fight and one guy chasing the entire fight. Why the **** is that wrong?
Boxing is one thing, Not taking a single step forward is another.

Here's a question for Ruslan: Why couldn't you catch him? You had him hurt, fighting with one eye yet your ability to cut off the ring was not good enough. Golovkin laughs at you.
I wish certain boxing fans would stop trashing the sweet science. Tactical boxers are just as valuable to the sport as your brawlers. If you don't like that then go watch something else. Not all fighters can thrive by fighting like Prov and Rios. Some simply aren't born with that type of talent just the same as Prov wasn't made to develop slick defense.
To Prov's credit if he had gotten the win I wouldn't have complained. The fight was close. It really depends on what you favor: 5 hard punches vs 10 soft punches. The judges chose the latter and I have no problem with that.
