    People like Sam Jones hogging the limelight. He’s a car salesman ffs.

    The ‘bubble’

    Interviews with Hearn after every fight on a Matchroom card.

    ‘Fight of the year’ after every half decent scrap.

    The lack of actual rules in boxing irks me in particular- especially the fact top guys can fight absolute no hopers in the middle of their careers just padding out their records.

    UFC isn’t perfect but it’s better than boxing in this regard.

    1.) How it is run (this pretty much covers all areas of nonsense that stops it being as great as it could be)
    2. Politics (again a lot of that comes into play in point 1)
    3.) People involved in it don't seem to care at all Any More

    There is so much wrong with boxing right now i don't think 3 points is nearly enough

    1. The inactivity of so many of the top boxers
    2. The incompetent/corrupt alphabet orgs
    3. Politics

    All kind of related.

    This has been Babic's most annoying bubble so far, but finding out that he's seeing a feller in drag has made my day.

    The day he gets chinned will be up there with Fowler v Fitz and Whyte v Povetkin.

    People going turning up to a main event to get an Instagram pic. Many other proper boxing fans could have had them and would have turned up to see most of the fights. This is why people hate causuals and rightly so.

    Sweet Caroline is now a thing and draws in more of the people mentioned above. This only started because Rocky Fielding and possibly a couple of others used to walk out to it to a good reception. Now it seems like it’s in every walk of life.

    People avoiding each other and inactivity. I don’t like Canelo but there’s no excuses when you see how often he fights.

    Women’s boxing on men’s cards. It’s making you pay for an inferior and cheaper for them product. The PC ramming it down of throats will not change the fact that males in their early teens would batter them.

    Maya Jama, Ebonie Bridges etc getting opportunities based on looks. People don’t need this stuff they have porn hub. Why fall for it?

    Hearn and Warren fighters very rarely fighting each other.

    Liam Williams’ twitch. I really like the lad and think he’s great but still.

    Loads of others probably.

    Hard agree re Ebanie. The blonde bimbo look is very overrated anyway, her opponent Bec Connolly is far more my jam personally.
    Can't wait to see who's name Maya Jama messes up on tonights card. Jasper Dickens? Nick Clegg?

    The thing is last year when he first arrived on the scene I thought he seemed like a decent enough bloke, but he just plays up to this Savage nonsense now, acting like a buffoon whenever a camera is around and its absolutely brutal craic.

    1. The ridiculous number of belts to sell fake ‘world champions’.

    2. The fact that a lot of fighters with different promoters might as well be in a different sport they’re so unlikely to ever be put against each other.

    3. Ludicrous alphabet rankings.

    (Honourable mention Sweet Caroline)

    American announcers on British cards.

    Dread locks on American announcers on British cards.

    American announcers with dreadlocks announcing surnames twice, on British cards.

    British boxing promoters thinking we want American announcers with dreadocks, announcing people's surnames twice on British cards.

    PS. RSC is not a thing, it's TKO. Conform or go back over the water.

    Tony "the hypocrite" Bellew. He said Kash Ali shouldn't be allowed to fight again after he bit Dave Price but was fine with Chisora biting Paul Butlin :confused:

    Salam Aliakum

    almost every single post you make mentions some irrelevent low level south asian or arab bum like Kash Ali lol. . Too obvious what race you are

    An area level guy who can't even fight is hardly comparable to Delboy who has given top 10 heavyweights tough nights.

    You won't have to wait long for that. Judging by last night. Anyone heavyweight just half a level up from Bennett will KO him.
