    Why do crowds start LIT, then go quiet when guys like Shakur & Floyd start schooling?

    It happened with Floyd against Canelo, Floyd against Manny...and now you see it with Spence, you see it with Shakur, you see it with Devin Haney, you saw it with Tank at least twice...

    Every time these guys go against someone who's supposed to be a threat, and they end up delivering a boxing clinic, the crowd just goes dead quiet. Why?

    All those fighters have one common (and obvious) trait.

    It is what it is.

        It's in the same way that blowouts aren't entertaining.

          Cause people want to see violence not finesse.

            Dunno man. I love when a fight is positioned as 50/50 yet ends up a one-sided masterclass; one fighter proves they're just that much better than the other. Love it.

                the action died down towards the end, first rounds good combinations and actions, towards the last 3 rounds more movement and not so many exchanges

                    Brits were hyped as hell to watch Floyd beat the **** out of Hatton for 10 rounds
