Boxing raises its stock everytime a fight...

[_Maxi]

Those fights were good fights.

What is your example of an exciting fight?

Jack-Degale was more exciting.

Any fight in which there's no jab and grabber tends to be exciting. Except some fights, like I said Crawford postol was kinda boring. I love Rigo, fan of his, but I can't deny that some of his fights are very boring. Same for Lara.

But 99% of the fights, if there's no grabber, we are ok.

Maxi, all fighters, regardless of style preference, hold during a fight. JUst because the guy you like loses desn't mean you should over exaggerate like this.

When he says no Graber he dont mean that there is 0 clinches in a fight LMAO ,this would be impossible.

I know. Maxi is over exaggerating the factor holding was in fights the guy(s) he likes lost. He doesn't like it when Ward or Floyd holds and they win. However, these fights were not boring.

Maxi has to learn that "excitement", like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

[hhs661]

does not involve a "jab and grabber".

Everytime there's a jab and grabber/clincher/wrestler, we have a negative result. Each time we have two fighters going for action, win or lose, we have positive results for the sport, even if the judges scorecards are off.

The sport wins.

Why is this basic fact so hard to understand to some people?

The DeGale - Jack fight even with a debatable result left a positive result for the sport, people got to see action, two KD's, their money worth, and looking for another fight of both.

Damn, this makes me not want to watch Klit's next fight.

I don't think anyone is going to say that two guys who go out there and dish it out isn't going to be seen favorably by boxing fans. Personally, I loved the DeGale-Jack fight, thought it was a wonderfully entertaining fight, and hopefully sets the bar for the coming year on in ring action. Sports fans like to see action, weather it's a nice catch in football, a big goal in soccer, a home run in baseball a slam dunk in basketball, or two men standing toe to toe and beating the crap out of one another while we cheer them on. It's what sports are built off.

Now, that doesn't mean that exceptionally talented men can't use rules, strategy, or tactics to their advantage and it instantly becomes boring. Quite the opposite in many cases. But at it's base, unless you're walking into a fight with a mindset and appreciation for seeing that - I think most casual boxing fans just want to see fireworks.

Ofc tthey want,and sports are build of casuals,Ali wouldnt be so Fameous if he would fight like Ward,(i know Ali hold quite a lot,as all HWs but his fights was very exciting and dramatic),you will say Floyd but one thing is Floyd had many known opponets(Cotto,Canelo,Pac,JMM,Mosley,Oscar,Hatton) nobody have this many options now,just look how GBP is looking for big names for Canelo,its Chavez then GGG and what next?just bunch of no names.Floyd will never reach Ali or Tyson status anyway,thats why boxing need action.
