    Comments Thread For: ExCel Card Response: A Good Day For The Moaners

    British boxing fans have called long and hard for stacked cards, fifty-fifty fights and future world stars. We got them, but were also handed Sky PPVs, highly-anticipated fights that cannot possibly live up to the hype, long bills and talented prospects beating up guys they are supposed to beat up in a bid to get them rounds.

    Many modern fans call the current situation a “Disgrace” (or another hyperbolic world of your choice); the older, dejected and sceptical amongst us call it “Boxing” (or “that perennial arse ache”, as it is called down my way). As Tony Soprano said: “Every day is a gift, but does it have to be a pair of socks?” Well, to sock someone is to punch them, and the sport of boxing is more often than not a blow to the guts rather than a kiss under the mistletoe.

      One thing I'd ask author is where were all the complaints about tickets, toilets, seating, security and timing complaints with other UK cards this year? It seems you have pretty much excused every ill in this article even going so far as to place the blame on the crowd.

      I think you might've been better to acknowledge they got a fair bit wrong as well as right rather than just writing complaints off as "moaning" (if indeed it was titled by the author).

        i think what the card reveals is all the boxers are mediocre, saunders isnt world class, eubank I thought he could have used his legs more and used some straighter punches from range rather than predictable uppercuts, skeete is way too slow and gangly, gavin can be beaten........chisora is too slow, theyre all yawn, nice one warren 30 years of boxing and thats the cream of your crop?????
