Enough of the Tune Ups

[SilverMiles]

Am I the only one who thinks tune-ups are just an excuse for fighters to fight weak comp and pad their records. I mean Leonard sat on the sidelines for 3 years and came back and fought perhaps the best fighter in the world at that time. If you don't know who I'm talking about I'll give you a hint, his nickname was Marvelous.

And even if you don't agree with the decision you can't deny the fact that it was a very close fight. But now days you have guys like Ward who needs two tunes just to fight a decent opponent. Seems like a waste of time to me. And Ward isn't the only one.

And also title defenses and tune up should not be in the same sentence. If a fight is considered a tune up the titles shouldn't be on the line, period point blank.

There is nothing at all wrong with fighting tune ups

It is if you fight multiple tune ups or if you fight only once or twice a year.

Tune ups are a good time to work on some things inside the ring that you cannot risk working on against a top tier opponent. I'm okay with a tune up if that's not ALL you're doing...

[CANELOLUJAH]

I think tune up should only be for fighters who fell off. What I mean by that is I think a former champion who recently lost, or someone who took a bad beating in the ring then yes they should have a tune up as their next fight to gauge where they are at. Who shouldent be fighting tune ups are Champions or anyone riding a solid winning streak.

I agree, I mean I tuneup my car every year.

Leo Santa Cruz,Andre ward,and danny Garcia,we're looking at you...

[Rudiamonds]

I agree guys like leo or Garcia don't need no tune up ward neather it was his choice not to fight guys like Mike alvardo and Rosado need a fee tune ups

[Da Machine]

I agree, Certain times they are ok, but not in Wards case, especially if he wants A level opponent money.

[Hougigo]

Fighting once a year, yea why not?

Ward definitely needs one, just not get paid 2 million for it
