    This year added fuel to the boxing is dead in the US.

    The international scene has had some excellent fights but I have to watch them on crappy streams.





    cue up a couple of network fanboys to defend it. such an odd look.

      IMO Crawford VS Gamboa has been the best fight of the year so far. That was like free PPV to me. If it wasnt for that scrap this year would be less than 'meh'


      whats less than 'meh' anyways?

              Last year was an intense euphoric rush, this year was its abysmal hangover.

              Basically, this year ****** nards.

                Some of the PPV's have been rather dull. But there's been plenty of satisfying fights this year.

                Orlando Salido vs Terdsak Kokietgym
                Rodriguez vs Takayama
                Guerrero vs Kamegai
                Matthysse vs Molina
                Tommy Coyle vs Daniel Eduardo Brizuela
                Terence Crawford vs Yuriorkis Gamboa
                Roman Gonzalez vs Juan Kantun
                Gavin Rees vs Gary Buckland
                Akifumi Shimoda vs Marvin Sonsona
                Bermane Stiverne vs Chris Arreola 2

                Edit: Forgot to mention Monty Meza-Clay vs Alan Herrera

                Probably rate it a 7 or 8.

                  Floyd and Manny wise, utter sh.it. 1/10.

                  On the whole, about average, maybe a little below. 4/10.

                  Boxing is a big sport, there are bound to be some good fights every year.

                    Floyd being such a role model to young fans has ruined todays and future fighters into thinking its ok for a champion make another wear pillows just because he himself can't ****,imagine if Joe "slappy" Calzaghe made his opponents wear pillows all the time,he would beat anybody in h2h matchups
