Couldn't agree more ..Yes it's the sweet science where you hit and don't get hit but in that statement alone there is the word hit ! No one wants to see a guy dance around and do nothing for 12 Rds this is still boxing !
Another troll who just started watching boxing when Pac blew up mad that the fighter he thought was a God looked like an amateur against PBF.:rofl
There should be less tolerance for clinching, imo. The decision to deduct points should be far more punitive for repeat offenders. Also, a more radical suggestion, they should construct a ring that can be engineered to easily and quickly change proportions so that the size can incrementally be shrunken down as the fight wears on. Perhaps start off with a 20' x 20' ring and every 3 rounds or so, downsize by a squared foot. The obvious idea is to induce more action as the fight unfolds.
How can you say that sarcastically? That is obviously extremely exciting. That's the end of Karate Kid 2. That's Don Frye vs Takayama one of the most famous mma fights. That's the original rules of ancient Greek boxing if a fight was going too long.
Where do you stop? Why have gloves, make it bare knuckles. Why have rounds, make it until someone gives up, no breaks, no judges, no refs. Why have weight divisions, stop the P4P BS and prove you can fight any man.
There are many exhibitions of skill which are not entertaining and many low skill spectacles which are highly entertaining. Deal with it.
Lets just change the rules of the sport because I don't like the way the best fighter in the sport today fights. Yeah that's a great idea.atsch What you idiots don't understand is boxing is bigger than PBF.:deal
I've always been in favor of a smaller ring. And clinching, no matter who the perpetrator is, is bad for the sport. I never mentioned Floyd because it's not about him. It's about how to improve the sport of boxing.
Those are good suggestions. Smaller rings means more action and harder sanctions on clinching would speed things up and increase the number of punches thrown. I agree with this. I also agree that it's not just about Floyd Mayclincher. It's also about Wladimir Klinchko and others exploiting certain loopholes in the sports rules to win at the expense of entertainment. Close the loopholes and make it a more watchable, and possibly a fairer game. Hopkins, Ward, Lara, and Rigondeaux are all just as guilty. Maybe even Kell Brooks clinched too much against Porter. Holyfield's clinchwork against Tyson and Young's clinching against Foreman were also fairly egregious examples.
Floyd landed twice as many punches as Pacquiao so maybe it was #48 running and not fighting all night
