Boxing fans are getting more ******ed

[sunny31]

So many threads and posts being about how beterbiev is a bum now and would get stopped by every other top lhw because he couldn't knock out his opponent sooner. Jacobs is average because he went 12 rounds. Yet praising guys in the same divisions who look way worse and more vulnerable. This is getting sad.

Too many extreme opinions I agree. When you step up, fighters don't just fall over. It does show that Beterbiev is probably not a killer puncher like Kovalev, doesn't mean he can't achieve good things either.

But if I can make a suggestion, actually show an interesting in boxing, and all boxers and styles.

Your world revolves around white Eastern European fighters, it's ok to be a fan of fighters from certain geographical regions, especially if they are from a similar background to you.

But the fact that you almost never post about anything else devalues your opinion a little.

I don't think Beterbiev is a bum and I don't think Jacobs is average but they both looked bad last night. I watched like 2 rounds of Beterbiev and he was getting booed very loudly. He didn't look that good. Jacobs was getting outgrappled by a guy who was obviously not on his level. That fight shouldn't have gone that distance. If that was any other fighter he would've been criticized also.

lol BoxingScene has been in the same state for years and probably way before i even registered.

There's people that know what Boxing is while others don't know SHIT or just really trolling for their own amusements.

Boxing has the harshest critics. Have one bad night and that's what you're remembered for #SAD

It is sad. One loss or one bad performance and thousands of people question what they ever thought about a guy. It’s weird.

I thought Jacobs fought well. He couldn't KO a guy with a good chin who was only in there to finish the fight and survive. The guy either ran like a rabbit or clinched and held like an octopus. Jacobs easily won all 12 rounds. I haven't watched the Beterbiev fight yet.

The mark of a great fighter is how they adjust when things aren't going well. I haven't seen any from Jacobs, Beterbiev, or Miller. Their fights were pretty boring.

Beterbiev had the biggest stage of his life, and all he's shown is how stiff and robotic he really is.

Nothing special.

Well somehave racial bias others are honest.

Say what you like but Jacob's went twelve with a prospect and didn't look particularly good doing it.

Miller fought a fat Polish builder and is supposed to be the nest hw monster but looked trash.

I haven't seen the bet fight but it was against a ****e opponent and went 12 rounds almost.

So they aren't exactly gonna get good reviews are they?

Well said, bro.

Peak ******ation on boxing forums was achieved between 2009 and December 2012, afterwards ******ation on boxing forums vanished for months before building back up.

What ever happened to a win is a win? Just get the W right? Criticism is reserved for fighters you aren't a fan of.

when fighters like ward started getting gift decisions and low blow ko's the win is a win motto took a credibility hit. we have to have more nuance than that. we have to realize politics control a lot of boxing and wins arent really wins sometimes..
