    I hate Charlos, but Jermell came from deep behind on my cards to stop Harrison. Great comeback for me.

    Strong comeback by AJ also against Ruiz

        But boxing itself i like the underdog showing grit and heart even in a losing effort. A few examples are inoue-donaire and valdez-lopez. The latter of which was a last minute substitute and moving up in weight. Also valdez coach is all bad for him





        Amen bro , I agree.

          I'm with this type of thinking on why I enjoy fighting sports in general. It's the first & most naturalistic sport there is in my estimation. Boxing just happens to be my favorite fighting sport, but I enjoy all fighting sports for this reason from boxing to MMA to kickboxing to BKFC to even the milder arguably combat sport of sumo.

            Yes same here. I started watching boxing in 90s with my father.


            He was a big Oscar and Tyson fan. Good memories.

              Comeback as in someones losing a fight and then ends up winning or someone who has lost/retired before and fights to get themselves back in contention?

                i love a big world heavyweight championship fight where you don't know who is going to win. two warriors fighting to determine who the king of our planet is. gives me goose bumps just thinking about it. ever since tyson-spinks when i was 5 years old, i've been completely obsessed with that feeling that you only get when you're about to find out who the champion of earth is.

                  There's a theater of the absurd quality to boxing that I find engrossing. Joyce Carol Oates wrote in "On Boxing" that the sport creates greatness, but also consumes its own greatness. And that is something I find fascinating - two fighters who have just spent grueling months getting into their physical peaks, and then in the course of an hour, are so decimated they can barely stand. That is raw, so deeply emotional to me. I can't take my eyes off it.

                    Watched it with my Dad as a kid, still watch with him today. My uncles all boxed and I thought they were the coolest guys in the world.

                      This is the only sport where you don’t have to beat the best, to be the best.
