I am not a true fight fan. In fact about the only sport I probably say I love is football. But even then I'm not watching just any game.
I really enjoy top level boxing though I hate the judging (and no this isn't just because of this last fight). I think the judging in boxing is off putting and I know I am not alone.
There are simply too many things I have to do and I want to do then watch all the boxing.

i just think you should know the rules. its really not that hard to learn. 2 minutes maybe? blatantly ignoring clinching, headbutting, holding and hitting, wrestling, and low blowing puts you solidly in the fanboy category. they won't even admit it happens! it would be one thing to say wow that was a pretty dirty fight and he got away with a lot of fouls but they pretend they aren't fouls. come on fanboys you go too far with your love

To me a fanboy is the type who is all up on someone's nuts & comes up with illogical arguments on why that guy lost a fight or why any moves he makes are always good & never bad.
I think its fine to like a guy of your nationality or w/e (I'm always pro-Michigan fighters, but I'm logical & reasonable in my stances on them) as long as you are reasonable with things he does or doesn't do. Its when you act like a fighter can do no wrong when you drift into fanboy territory.
I also think a hater doesn't need to hate because or race or w/e. You can just hate a guy for a random reason. And its basically the exact opposite of a fanboy. You find an excuse for how he won any fight he won or at least the biggest ones to attempt to minimize their status in your & others eyes. Any move they make in the business you'll find a reason its the wrong move.
And I think a true fight fan is in the middle of these two types of fans. He just enjoys the sport at w/e level the guys are at that are fighting. He'll enjoy the biggest fights in the game down to the 4 rounders with pro debuters.
