Have boxing fans become wimps?

cotto has been going on ..everytime he fights and wins people lose their minds

 

There is no question boxing fans have become wimps. Thirty years ago when I started following the sport, they would complain if a fight was stopped prematurely. Now you get boxing fans WHINING to stop fights when someone hasn't even hit the canvas. atsch Why I'm surprised there aren't people saying that this fight shoud've been stopped because of Cotto's cut or Clottey's knee!!!

 

I dont even care about the acting or throws, or slippery canvas, or headabutt or whatever. The damn fact of the matter is cotto ran, got outlanded, and somehow won.

 

and esb turns to digital dust with this post.


best post i have seen in a long time.


i was rooting for clottey and i had it 115-114 to clottey. witht he 10-8 in the 1st

this was not a robbery. what is wrong is how the scorecards didnt reflect how close it was.
people want a conspiracy theory, boxing or not. i mean if clottey had totally caught on the last 3 rounds he would of still lost....that to me is still unfair and doesnt reflect the score of the fight

 

Dick.

 

The fans who have thousands of posts worth of whining or cheerlearding on internet forums certainly are.

 

I like how all the Brit forum posters jumped in en masse to back Gaz up

I totally agree though!

 

Good thread!
