So called boxing fans hate seeing fighters punched I'm the face

All I care about is Winning. I dont think a baseball fan cares, if his team Wins the game by 10-0, with lots of home rums, or by 1-0 with a late, 8th inning single base hit, as long as the team he supports, Wins the game. I dont think a football fan cares if their team Wins the super bowl by 28-0, or if his team kicks a late field goal to Win a close game as long as they Win.
In Boxing, I like my 2nd round KO's, but I also enjoy A Close, competitive, 12 Round Boxing Match. Variety is the spice of life. Just Win, baby.

I have to disagree with the football analogy. I've watched the rules of the sport evolve into something favoring an offensive shootout rather than a defensive battle. Rules about hitting the QB, rules allowing OL a little more leeway to hold, rules about covering recievers. People (at least Americans) want action, excitement, scoring (KOs in boxing). There's a reason that basketball (100pts per game) is much more popular in US than soccer or hockey (2 pts per game)

A mix of Beethoven and Rage against the Machine... works for me

I feel sick even revealing this, but its therapeutic, i used to watch gatti v ward with commentary muted and Rage agaisnt the machine on full blast.

Im fully reformed now, i have downloaded Rigondeaux's entire professional and amateur fight catalog and play it to Beethoven extended symphony number 5.

Not always. A 1-0 "pitchers duel" in baseball can be as exciting if not more than, a 12-11 sluggfest. Even in football, I wouldn't have a problem with a 7-3, defensive-type game. In Boxing, I like Floyd's style, and I like Deontay Wilder's style. Totally different, but variety is the spice of life.
