Does Anyone Else Get Bored Seeing A Twelve Round War With No Knockdowns?

[R-C]

Boxing will never make everyone happy

If you're wondering if I got bored last night, absolutely not.

It depends on quality of competition. Mayweather vs Maidana, was great for 24 rounds. MArquez vs Pacquiao was never boring all through 42 rounds. The War was 3 rounds?
It also depends on your taste, I get bored wathcing 2 guys killing each other with no defense. Maidana vs Victor Ortiz and Soto Karass made me yawn, but Maidana vs Amir Khan was entertaining. It depends..

Good post. I can watch Mayweather-Maidana 1 and 2 every day. Maidana outboxed Mayweather and showed that TBE is just meaningless self-branding and hype

I watched the Salido Vargas fight tonight and I didn't find it that entertaining. I watched two guys slug it out with minimal technique and basically beat the snot out of each other for nothing other than a nice paycheck.

The result of the fight was fair, I too thought it was a draw But seeing the amount of punishment these dudes inflicted upon each other for a result where neither man won just seems like a wasted night. Boxing is already taxing on the body, so I'm sure every time these guys step in there they don't even contemplate the thought of losing so my heart just sank for those guys when it was declared a draw. All that punishment for basically nothing it seemed.

It just felt anticlimatic. Do any of you guys get bored watching wars with no knockdowns, especially when there is no clear cut winner?

No way, I want to see more of them.all day every day!

When I'm watching a fight live the best part is that ANYTHING can happen so I'm not really thinking about KD's or no KD's or a KO coming or a decision. I'm just enjoying a fight moment by moment as it happens in front of me.

That said I'll admit when I rewatch fights I tend to re-watch more fun, multiple KD & ending in KO fights than strategic 12 round less dramatic no KD fights

If it is obvious neither guy is capable of really hurting each other, it does get uneventful. I didn't see this fight and have no idea if that's the case, but just in general wars are kind of boring when neither guy is going to hurt the other.

Depends on the skill

Depends on the skill and the effort of that skill rigodieux bores me to tears but lemachenko doesn't

This is why we will never agree to much on this forum or as boxing fans in general.

I mean I can't fathom any boxing fan (casual or hardcore) being bored watching last night's war. I mean I was in the dumps about the sport the last few weeks with Canelo ducking and Wilder/Povetkin not happening...but last night reminded me why I love this sport.

And I'm not even trying to hate on you, I'm saying it amazes me that boxing fans can have that big of a difference in tastes. I mean I understand that some guys favor a more technical boxer over a brawler type...but to say you were bored watching that last night? Seems crazy to me because it's what I prefer to see in the ring. And I know there are a lot of people who feel how you do which is why no fighter will ever get the full collective respect of NSB (sadly even Ali didn't get the full respect yesterday, and if he didn't then no fighter will).

Yes sometimes.

I feel boxing could take a leaf out of UFCs book and offer fight bonuses and KO bonuses.

I don't mind if it's a real fight. But pitty patting for 12 rounds is boring as ****.

how the *** are u a fury fan then?lol
