Every time a fighter takes a beating and is outclassed they are brave and heroic

I agree.

They've done well to last 12 but I would go as fair as to say words like 'brave' or 'warrior'

 

I see what you're going for here, but I'd say this: people like or love boxing precisely because it does involve fighters displaying courage, bravery, dedication to a 'lost cause' at times and honour amongst participants.

I suppose it's possible to watch the sport without ever considering those qualities.....But,then, you wind up with a thread like this one. Two posts by barely literate, spasticated failures like yourselves making cheap 'points' in remedial language. Hey ho.

I suppose you are jabbering on about Buglioni. He went 12 rounds of pain in a fight he wasn't supposed to win. Is he mayweather? No. He's a person trying to make a living from the sport, and yesterday he earned that living in terms of what he brought to the ring.

 

I thought the bug-lion was very brave and heroic last night. The only round he wasn't brave and heroic in was when he "didin't hear the bell" according to the commentators, but for the rest of the 11 rounds he was very brave and very heroic.
In boxing it's custom to get 4 points for being brave and 5 for heroism in a round.

R1 ) Chudinov 10, Bug Lion brave and heroic
R2 ) Chudinov 10, Bug Lion brave and heroic
R3 ) Chudinov 10, Bug Lion brave and heroic
R4 ) Chudinov 10, Bug Lion brave and heroic
R5 ) Chudinov 10, Bug Lion brave and heroic
R6 ) Chudinov 10, Bug Lion 7 after deduction (not brave and heroic)
R7 ) Chudinov 10, Bug Lion brave and heroic
R8 ) Chudinov 10, Bug Lion brave and heroic
R9 ) Chudinov 10, Bug Lion brave and heroic
R10) Chudinov 10, Bug Lion brave and heroic
R11) Chudinov 10, Bug Lion brave and heroic
R12) Chudinov 10, Bug Lion brave and heroic

Final score Chudinov 12x10=120 vs Bug Lion 1x7+11x4+11x5=106

 

I thought it was getting hard to watch. He was knackered by round 7 or 8. Totally exhausted. I was thinking the corner should have been thinking of pulling him out for his own good. I know it's a title fight but you don't want any long term damage and I could see him collapsing or something after the fight. Glad I was wrong.

 

I'm just glad Jones got one over Collins.

 

When Paul Smith fought Ward people didnt say he was a hero, warrior or brave instead they said he was an overweight bum.

 

Yes, I was dreading a spectacular KO on top of all that damage. His corner were very courageous...

Of course Frank was brave and a warrior last night. And he fought back every round, could hardly hold his hands up the last four or five. I wouldn't say hero, shouldn't use that word lightly.

 

I agree with you. I was suprised how quickly he faded to be honest. I know that the style he fought out of commands a lot of energy and you need a good engine and conditioning to fight that way but the way the commentaters were describing how proffesional and gruelling his camp was with the collins i wad suprised how early and quick he started to lose steam.
There was also that point for me where i was thinking maybe he should be pulled out. But its now turned out for the better that he wasnt

Frank certainly showed gameness in there last night no one can doubt that

 

Bull isnt it, perfect example is that bum coyle from hull

 

In some cases yes. But last night Buglioni was brave, and showed real heart - he was done in from about round 7, but kept coming back and throwing

 

No, by the very same reasoning as you use against boxers, even the concept of "battlefield hero" has been devalued.

These days, some poor guy gets stabbed up in the street for being a soldier and the media call him a "hero", when actually he was a murder victim.
Or a soldier is sent to a some trouble spot and gets his leg blown off driving into a roadside bomb, of course that's unfortunate but not heroic.

A battlefield hero used to be a soldier who risks himself beyond the call of duty, taking the fight to the enemy, putting in work above and beyond what is expected of the average soldier, taking out plenty of enemy and saving comrades in the process.

Nowadays anyone who gets blown up, stabbed or beheaded is called a hero. Even the guys who go out, doing nothing and come home unscathed are being called heroes !
It's not heroic at all. There has to be some sort of return to make it heroic, and some sort of heroic intention. Something worthwhile, not just signing up and getting splattered.

 

kind of see what your saying but why pick on boxers...what about the 10's of thousands who are unemployed and are wasters

 

You do know what a 'bum' in a boxing context means?

Are you really suggesting these fighters came 'off the street' and fought a world champion on debut? If so, where is your evidence?
