I.e The notion you have to beat the reigning champion by a wide margin to take his belt for no reason what so ever.

I get it to a degree, as I've always thought that a tie round should go to the champ (I dont believe in 10-10 rounds) but I don't think you need to win 11-1 to take the title, just 7 good rounds.

Marinating. I ****ing hate marinating. I see "fans" on social media talking about fights like Garcia/Haney or Davis/Garcia and they're saying "naw, too soon. That needs to marinate for a few years"


**** sakes, thats not fan talk, that's promoter fan talk.

A tie/draw does go to the Champion.

All you need to do to “take the belt from the Champion” is beat him. Whether it’s by 1 point of 20.

Yeah 100%. The term “bum” is so overused.

Prime, its a length of string fans will try and make it a pin point.

I hate that. I always say that nobody who has ever been in a boxing gym would ever call a prizefighter a bum, even if he was 0-50
