Anyone else feel cheated when a big fight goes 12 with no stoppage or kd?

    I feel cheated when they promote someone as a "KO Artist" then just hours before the fight, they take away his most important weapon ...... they take away his punchers gloves.

      I disagree. Of course I love a war, but that's not all there is to boxing. There are many different styles, and I appreciate them all. I have no problem watching a master boxer at work.

          $60 for a non-competitive or under 6 round fight is pure trash IMO.

              I dont feel cheated at all. Boxing is not only abt KO and KD. ITs good to see different styles. Thats what makes this sport so great

                There wasn't a ko or kd in duran leonard I and that's my favorite fight of all time, so no.

                  pitting 2 men against each other in a test of will, heart, endurance, perseverance, determination, skill, etc in a contest where each will be measured in their own way. Yup, not a sport, not even close to a sport.

                  Boxing is more than a sport.

                      At the end of the day if you are really honest about what boxing is, it is not a sport just a violent entertaining business venture.

                      I personally feel cheated if a big fight takes place and the main event doesn't end in some kind of stoppage or at the very least isn't of some entertainment value, and goes all 12 with no kds.

                      Some champions are good defenders but they should just tape their defenses and have them posted online for anyone to watch when they want a nap.
                      You are exactly what's wrong with the world today.
