    Everyone has their boxing pet-peeves and preferred styles. Which one of these things do you simply HATE when watching a fighter do his thang in the ring?

    No killer instinct,

    really annoys me when watching a fight I've paid a good bit of money for on PPV and all you see is two guys standing in the middle of the ring trading blows with no intent to follow them up with something big.

    Personal preference, but I'm a sucker for a big KO.

    It pisses me off watching MMA fighters throw nothing but overhand rights and other loopy punches and not connect and then hear the commentators talk about how good of a "striker" he is

    SO annoying. Like almost every so calller "striker" in MMA. Very few actually have tight punches. But in boxing I hate it when someone has a slick style that they can't pull off, and get tagged in doing so.

    He's hardly the worst perpetrator of this. He inst the best at a Philly defense but he's got decent head movement. A lot of fighters try to adopt a slick style and don't know how to roll with punches, and just get tagged in between their right glove and shoulder from a lack of proper block movements. Whoever the judges gave a gift to on the under-card of Alvarez-Hatton was a perfect example.

    Someone pull up that GIF where his philly guard blocks 5 out of 7 of Pac's punches in one of the later rounds he was dominated in :yep

    Its a fight! DEAL WITH IT!

    And fighters that quit when under the slightest pressure

    When there's fights you would rather watch but have to watch whats on the TV program like Prize fighter, pro box or that other show british finest or something.What's that other one? Boxing World Series where there's boxers you have never heard of fight and it's usually very boring.The premium or top of the line is still TOP RANK BOXING and GBP BOXING.It's the BEST.

    Rough spoiling tactics on the inside and runners. Both = ugly fights
