Why can't boxing fans accept a loss suffered by a fighter they support? I'm not asking why they don't like or agree with a negative decision, but why does blatant denial completely replace logic or rational thought?
Why must every loss be a robbery? Why must the shortcomings of the boxer they support be the OTHER guy's fault? Why must EVERY victory either be a KO, or a complete shutout for them to begrudgingly accept the victory, with comments like "He ran for 12 rounds" or "It was a lucky punch" etc. Why is it that every time there's a decision boxing fans don't agree with, THAT specific decision is what's "ruining the sport". Why is it that if anybody doesn't agree with their opinion, that person is suddenly delusional/DKSAB/etc, regardless of their pedigree/experience/achievements in the sport?
Why can't fans disagree with a decision and debate without salt or insults, or name calling.
For such an amazing sport, boxing has to have some of the most toxic fans I've ever come across.
