    Would boxing reach the casual fans even better if they hyped up fights like this with trash talk and call outs?

      I respect Matthysse for still wanting to fight Garcia but he needed to call out Broner lastnight in his home town and turn it up. He kinda didn't do that and just was like yeah, I'll fight him too.

        You should add a poll hectari.

        I think it would be better if fighters called out guys right after the fight.

            i cant stand people who are always calling things fake, so i hate to say it but that looked staged.

            not saying they dont legitimately dislike each other, but they were clearly putting on a show.

            floyd-shane was real imo. if its real its a good thing, if not it kind of turns me off the fight tbh.

            on another subject whats up with ortiz? the bad boy is back? first of all its beyond lame for a middle aged man to refer to himself as a bad boy, especially in third person. more importantly does tito really think he can accomplish more anything at this point?

            if he does thats just sad. dude hasnt won two fights in a row in nearly 10 years and that was to a guy as shot as he is now. hell, has he even won more than 2 fights in the last 8-9 years or whatever it is since those shamrock fights?

            i dont think you should force a man to retire unless its for medical reasons, but this organizations need to stop milking his name already. if he wants to fight let him fight at a lower level because he doesnt cut it at the top anymore.

                I'd rather boxing didn't turn into that WWE bull****. It's a shame boxing isn't more popular but as long as fights are there to see it's not a big problem.

                  That was terribly faked but it worked. Nobody gives a crap about Bellator usually.

                    Yes! This is a blood sport. This isnt golf.
