    To me it looks like a desperate attempt to appeal to a UFC crowd by making boxing more like an MMA ring.
    It doesn't eliminate boxing skill. A great inside fighter would thrive in it. There's more to boxing skill than running around the ring to create space for yourself.

      It was close enough to pro boxing to be passable to me.

        Mixed opinions from you guys. Does anyone see this lasting? Or is it just a fad?

        Some guy said that they were trying to appeal to an UFC audience which is definitely true. The look and feel of the whole show was it. The Stevens fight was terrible thought.

          A fad. The top names won't be interested. It looks like a video game anyway.

            It reminded me of MMA without the cage .... Wasn't bad though.

            What I would change is 1.) Make the circle circumference\pit larger 2.) Lower the perimeter wall 3.) Change the yellow color to something less pronounced.

            It has potential .... But boxing is the "squared-circle" and shouldn't change.

              It's OK. BKB needs a more heavier handed puncher than Rosada to headline its cards though

                Trash...PURE TRASH! I tried with this events twice now and I am literally laughing at it like "UH OK" Vera vs Rosado and Rosado vs Stevens would have been the exact same way in the Boxing Ring

                It is Useless to be honest! Great Alternative for those that can't win big fights in boxing I guess

                These are Boxing Undercard Fights being sold as Mainevents in a Pit. You can't call yourself "Big Knockout Boxing" and nobody Deliver Knockouts and no fighter is going to just let themselves get knocked out for entertainment value

                  Stevens should've gotten the nod. He put Rosada on her ass.

                    They're going to need big monsters or more bums for knockouts. If they somehow got elite ****ers in there it would get really ugly.

                    And if they're elite they wouldn't step near that BKB crap.

                      Better than the boxing undercard fights being sold as main events on PBC. At least this had decent production values and was fun to watch.
