    only thing i disliked was the agbeko fight where he had agbeko throwing single digits in a round clearly in pure surivival mode and rigo did not step up the pressure. but awell

    Im not sure i agree , being around gyms is important but being in the ring i dont know.

    Bert Sugar one of the great writers and historians never laced them up, but i get your point.

    I think you should add

    Enjoy watch slow technical fights more than slugfests

    Because it's the true craft of boxing. Hit and not be hit. Rather than just swing like a two drunk guys outside a nightclub (kind of)

    :yep Agreed. I have to add you actually have to appreciate the losing side sometimes, many, many times people haven't actually seen the fights themselves and don't realize how close they actually were or how good the loser really was. Take Mauricio Herrera, for example. He basically has wins over Danny Garcia and Jose Benavidez Jr yet the history books or boxrec will say he lost. Basically a champion, but without a belt.

    Not Vlad, He hasn't faced stiff enough competition. RJJs resume isn't great. I watch a max of 4 fights on any fight night. and I don't mind PPV for the right fights. How about get your a s s to some local bouts. I also think there would be competitive fights for all of the BIG 4 at all weights. BOOM!:hat

    I think real boxing fans should stop drawing lines in an attempt to separate "real" boxing fans from "casual" boxing fans. You act like boxing needs a smaller audience than it already has. "Slugfests are not real boxing"..."if you haven't been in the ring you can't appreciate boxing"..."I'd rather watch rigo than matthyse or provodnikov"...you're a bunch of pretentious posers who don't love boxing, you just love yourselves and want to feel special.

    How do you even have the nerve to say that ?

    You root against Rican fighters all the time and celebrate when they lose .

    I lost count how many emoticons you used when Rosado got wrecked by Lumieux .

    You don't have any integrity , that's the honest truth .

    Roid Jones was not unbeatable in his prime, maybe against he kind of opposition he usually faced...
