I think I'm losing interest in boxing...

[Aztekkas]

I have yet to feel that way but I can see where you are coming from OP. I guess what keeps me so motivated is following the weight divisions most casuals would overlook and consider a "niche"(in a niche sport ). My favorite weight divisions are from 105 to 126, any weightclass above 126 is still great but I'm just not as enthusiastic about them.

Another thing is constantly looking up new prospects or fighters from other, much lesser known countries. I love watching fights from Thailand, Japan, Mexico and the Philippines. Not only do they produce world class talents but sometimes you can stumble across a gem on one of those lesser known, more obscure cards.

with fighters like Roman Gonzalez, Juan Francisco Estrada, Carlos Cuadras, Zolani Tete, Tomoki Kameda, Vasyl Lomachenko, Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, Shinsuke Yamanaka, Donnie Nietes and many many more constantly feeding my addiction, I think it will be some time before I lose interest in our sport.

I lost interest in boxing during Fury-Chisora but my interest will be back in a hour when I switch over to HBO and watch the Crawford card

i kind of agree, i think it's just been a piss poor year for boxing, with politics getting more and more in the way.
hence why we are seeing mismatch after mismatch.

you know things are pretty ****ed when the fight we are most excited about this year is watching a 49 year old man get beat up.

I feel that the best of boxing is behind us. For the first time I didn't care for pacs ppv. I'm just tired of watching over matched opponents fight get beat down against so called best of the sport. Maybe tonight's fight will change my feeling. Anyone else feel the same?

ok don't let the door hit you on the way out. Plenty of us that still love the sport

Pretty much, hopefully the Boxing Gods bless us in 2015 like they did in 2013.

^i hope so

i have stayed up every time there's a big fight on untill 5 or like last night 6 am. ( uk time )

after seeing that godawful ' fight ' that was chisora v fury i decided to watch the crawford fight in the hope it would be a half decent tear up like some people on here were suggesting

instead it was a shut out /mismatch like i expected with a disgusting robbery in the velez v gradovich fight ( which we see again and again and again )

what a terribile year for boxing, 2015 can surely only get better ?
or it will continue being another year of mismatches / robberies / politcs /crooked/comical reffs ?

boxing is dying

This has been a pretty **** year tbh with very few highlights, I could probably list them here (fights that were relevant for whatever reason):

Froch/Groves 2
Walters/Donaire
Crawford/Gamboa
Pac/Bradley 2

I'm finding it difficult to list more just off the top of my head. 2013 was far superior in every way. Hope Khan v Alexender can provide a few fireworks but I'm not holding my breath.

However, we've had some breakouts this year, Gonzalez, Crawford and Walters all bode well for 2015 if they take on the fights we need.

Boxing isn't what it use to be, And Boxing currently isn't all that it could be either! Way to many belts... There should be a super 10 " like a super 6" continually running in all divisions every year..So the best actually fight the best! The fighters would still earn there money the boxing fans don't get ripped
