There seems to be a few around these dyas such as Boxinginfo, pound4pound boxing, Boxing4real and guard your grill boxing. Does anyone follow these shows or recomend any others? Which ones do you respect or hate the most?
I can't recommend any, but I do love that they're happenning and have seen some that are at the least decent. How many times have I seen espn or the network sports updates totally ignore big fights, so its nice to hear at least some non pay tv coverage. Also, when you do hear a lot of journalists talk boxing its like they haven't paid attention for 25 years. Most people here could come up with a top ten heavyweight list that is at least reasonable. A lot of mainstream journalists couldn't even name ten heavyweight contenders period.
Boxing4real has by FAR the most entertainment value. :yep Pound4Pound is probably the best "show" in that the guys try to emulate a sports show you might see on TV. They don't totally bore you to death, at least not ast first, they have some knowlege and passion for boxing. Not terrible really, but I don't watch it. GuardYourGrill is just a bunch of animals making noises and trying to draw attention to themselves. I can't be certain boxing is even mentioned, much less analyzed. BoxingInfo is just one, boring, self-important ******* that will bore you to ****ing death. Who wants to watch one guy sit in an office somewhere starring into a camera spouting meaningless gibberish? I'd rather sit in a court room and watch people fight over traffic tickets
