You did. But it's not your fault. It was a "dark exhibition" meant to out "dark" and out "exhibit" Povetkin/Seldon. You should have seen it. That's how Arreola really hurt his hands, not in the Quezada fight. But on Wladitali's iron chin. Vitalimir/Arreola: The Dark Exhibition was also turned into a Bollywood movie script. Both guys are very famous in Bollywood. I don't know why.
I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of hundred years into the future it's banend in some places. But a worldwide ban? Won't happen.
Boxing is dieing a terribly slow death in America, that's for sure. The Floyd vs Pac debacle doesn't help either. Yeah, I'm sure it's active and doing decently in some ethnic aspects, and even around Los Angelos. But overall, the generally interest is certainly fading. The decision, corruption, and big fights not getting made would turn off most people.
In summary: When Black Americans no longer dominate then the sport is dying.atsch A fair point about the horrors of PPV but that is essentially a U.S. issue. Boxing is doing just fine overseas.
im not sure what this ****head is looking for - sympathy? ****, boxing's ridiculously alive in my pitiful world! im really excited and have jumped on the Cuban bandwagon - these new arrivals are a breath of fresh air for boxing. They generally give a great mixture of boxing AND power, with great amateur pedigrees. Christ, quit your lamer lamenting and go cry in the closet, you damn emo. You crying cuz boxing aint the big touted #1 action sport like it used to be back in the day? Ya think cuz there are other action sports vying and competing for attention these days? The world progresses, whether you know it or not. Welcome to 2010.....
It's a good post, unfortunately the thread itself ****ing blows. TS good post, well thought out and well put, not sure why all the bull**** replies. What you may look at changing in terms of the overall idea, would be the death of boxing in America, I don't think it's dying overall but it is here and those that say "no it's not" are blind to the most obvious of indicators.
I'll give you a free look into the future, people will keep saying that Boxing is going to die until one day you die and Boxing lives on.
Boxing died on March 29th 1966. The first Ali/Chuvalo fight killed it. All the "experts" know thatatsch
It's always hard to say how a fighter of one era would do against one of another, but with Floyd it's particularly difficult. Given his current career, it's likely he would've avoided all the top guys of whatever era he may have been involved in. He would've fought a bunch of smaller, or older men, or C level guys. Meanwhile all the other elites would fight each other, give each other losses while Floyd continued fighting cherry picked opponents, throwing money around on TV, and bragging about being the only one with an 0.
