Comments Thread For: Breazeale vs. Mansour Added To Jan. 23 PBC on Fox Bill

I agree. I just don't get the appeal of a fighter who weighs the same as my 11 year old son. The lower weights are ok but when you start putting them #1 p4p you're basically endorsing midget boxing. I'm not buying into that non-sense.

or in other words...I don't like things that are different than me!

Is it me or has PBC decided to throw Dominic to the wolves? He was facing straight bums until the Martin fight and now Mansour is a problem as well.

you mean the kassi fight where he was schooled? if you can't beat fred kassi you are worthless and should be eliminated. its funny to consider mansour as the wolves. he's a fringe contender but i guess in the pbc universe he is considered a tough fight lol

That makes no sense at all. I'm weigh what a super middleweight would weigh and I enjoy a variety of weight classes. Boxing hipsters are the only ones who enjoy midget boxing. The majority of these public agrees with me. That's why you don't see these midgets headlining PPV's and they're only popular on countries where they're the same size as the average male.

Boxing skills are boxing skills regardless of size. If you truly enjoy the sport I don't see why you wouldn't like the little guys.

They slip punches, bob and weave, throw combinations, and hurt each other just as well as the big guys. In many cases they do it better....compare Chocolatito's combos to Klitschko's jab and grab for example.

American boxing needs a dominant Heavyweight champion to follow and cheer for and watch closely. I agree 100% that those little dwarfs belong more in Santa's sleigh or on the yellow brick road than in a boxing ring. munchkin boxing is just not any fun to watch.

Good Card

Best of luck Mansour. Hopefully you don't get screwed again like your last fight.

This is a very solid card from top to bottom. Nothing spectacular. To me this is a showcase card for Swift, Vazquez, and Breazeale.

All 3 are heavy favorites *Maybe not Breazeale" against gatekeepers. This should be a entertaining night of fights.

See that's what I'm talking about. I don't enjoy watching the midgets. It's like a circus show. I don't enjoy the super-heavies either. They're boring, don't throw enough punches, lumber around the ring, and have stamina issues. And the talent pool at the lower weights are awful because most adult men can't make 108 lbs so the best athletes aren't fighting in that division. I'm sorry but I guess I'm not a true boxing fan because I don't like watching giants or midgets.

For all the crap PBC gets about matching up their top fighters they match up their prospects TOUGH. No one put on more fights between double digit W undefeated prospects than PBC did this year.

I've been saying for a couple months that the guys who come outta these fights unscathed are gonna be some mean motor scooters & there are gonna be some 1 or 2 L guys who are gonna surprise some guys further down the road.

This is true. I think the Fox Sports cards are very good for low budget, prospect shows.

The question is, do they match them tough because they want them to prove something, or do they match them tough because PBC matchmakers don't know what they're doing?
