Ward apologists don't care about boxing

Grinder · Nov 24, 2016

It is clear that most of the Ward apologists don't care about boxing. They are happy for boxing to be destroyed for the sake of their short-term gratification, which I will account for as the human condition - like dismissers of climate change. You believe what suits you now with disregard for the bigger picture.

Eventually the truth will be revealed but only when it is too late. Boxing will be a sport referred to in the past tense.

"What happened to boxing Dad?"
It was corrupted by greed. None of the fighters wanted to fight each other because they were scared of losing, getting robbed or not receiving their fair share of the money. The sport splintered into different bodies each run by opportunistic promoters. There were weight divisions created at every 2 pound increment. The biggest PPV fighters stopped taking the risk of fighting anyone with a chance of beating them. The PPV fans, many of whom knew little about the sweet science, loved flashy, athletic and promotable boxers. The original interpretation of boxing was gone - it became about the trash talk and the flash lifestyles. The rules were ignored to suit the flashy-style boxing. This created a new style of "boxer". It was also better to make a guaranteed 35% of a big purse than risk losing the PPV status and unbeaten status. Even then, promoters ensured the fight outcomes with specially picked referees and judges. Eventually there were so many champions, divisions and boring fights with known outcomes that the UFC took over.

"Why are there so many whiners in boxing Dad?"

You see, there's this thing called butt hurt. Some fans have a severe case of it.

drenlou · Nov 24, 2016

It was close! You have to learn to deal with it, so I suggest you start learning how to!

Nicely put and not unexpected.

You must be new to the sport or something if you're this butt hurt over a decision like this one. Seriously.

In boxing like any other sports, there's a Winner and a WHINER like you.

This is some drama queen bull****. You gonna' go out and protest? Stop traffic and shout a bunch of cringey slogans? Maybe burn down your neighborhood? Boxing is no more or less corrupt than it ever was. It was a bad decision. And not even anywhere near the worst we've seen. Get over it, ffs.

Dad, what happened to boxing. Be quiet son, can't you see I'm whining right now.

Manfred · Nov 24, 2016

Dad, why you whining? Cause I DKSAB.

Bit dramatic mate. I thought Kovalev won 115-112 myself but hardly the worst decision boxing ever far from it. Boxing will survive chin up JMM was robbed harder in his 3rd fight with Pac and look what happened in the 4th fight.

"Daddy, why don't I look like you?"
"'Cause I'm a cuckold, son. And while I was whining on message boards a real man was having sex with my wife."

If you score every round on ten point must, 114-113 Ward is the correct score.

You are wasting your breath Grinder.

Many on here would rather support one man who share the same skin tone, rather than the sport itself. When presented with the truth there is a cognitive dissonance that is firmly entrenched in their minds.

These same fools will soon be asking why the big fights are not happening more often and why there are empty seats in the stadium.
