Jonze86 have you ever boxed? Have you ever trained MMA? Never mind, don't answer my question because I know the answer is NO... this is why you don't appreciate what goes on inside the ring under the lights. You say no one want to see Floyds style, and people love Conor, yet Floyd has made 100x more money than Conor... lol..
Complain that we are settled to this situation. Too many matches are uninteresting to say atleast. Yes we enjoy skill. But do we enjoy chess over entertaiment? Sorry english is not my first language. So explaining properly could be a issue. almost everyone just has taken the wrong foot. Immediately start defending boxing system. Even if most agree it's rotten and way too many bad matches are happening. Promoters could bring 100x more action to this sport in my opinion.
There's a lot of sports that have hundreds of millions of fans where people don't beat the **** out of each other. It's only natural then that many people would enjoy boxing even when the fighters are not bleeding all over the place. It's like watching football only for the big hits vs also enjoying the other facets of the sport. It's also about competition not only violence. Most of the most popular athletes on the planet have never beat the **** out of their opponents.
So Floyd boxing style is the reason he is so interesting?that show could be 100x better if Floyd would break the opponents. but hey this is evolution.we have become softer. All the sports are pretty much more safer. And usually when you have violent and good fight.do you see someone complain about it?i want to see more of that. Boxing is entertaiment. And purpose is to break the other man's will. I enjoy looking the brutality of it. how i'm the villain here?do you hate fights with lot of action?you enjoy the most,12rounds boxing clinics.where nobody gets hurt. Lot of running and hugging,playing chess countering there and here. I want this sport to appeal everyone.or the majority of people. casual fan thinks boxing as violence. The majority of people are not boxing hippies who enjoy parrying and dodging,countering with a right cross.12rounds no bruised eyes fights. World is sick place nowadays.we enjoy violence.wars everywhere. Do not feed this hippie propaganda on me
Yes there are.but i mean,in boxing that's the purpose. To see who is the man and lion king. Toughest sport in world with MMA definetly. But the real fighters are dying breed. Maybe it's evolution of sports. They used to have fights in NBA even before. Ice hockey used to had lot of fights. Hell even in Formula1 there have been fights. We are not tough anymore.
How would you improve it?! You just keep saying the same thing. Without any suggestion or idea you're just whinging
You just sound like a casual fan. Boxing is a sport of set rules and changing it just to make it more exciting would be a detriment to the actual competition. You think the science is boring, but i think the science makes the game. You want excitement go watch a hollywood movie like kickboxer, rocky, or the fighter. Go watch some gypsy boxing online or world star hip hop. They're all entertaining blood sports.
Yep. Boxing's problem is the opposite. Matches are in fact made just for excitement or entertainment, while if boxing was a proper sport they'd be made purely on competitive logic. With the lack of matchmaking structure in boxing what we miss out on is actually high-level skilled boxing matches. Matchups like Spence-Brook, Loma-Rigo shouldn't be the extremely rare treat they are now. And guess what? When those good matchups are made the defensive stylists this poster doesn't like are forced to bring out more of their skillsets and fight with intensity. Consistently better matchups will give us both fights with greater skill and tactics, and more excitement.
I don't hate the NBA changing the rules.i don't hate goverment changing rules.everybody does it. Why boxing can't be more like 2017. If you compare to other sports.boxing has not evolved the entertaiment value of their sport. But please then. If you don't agree. Don't complain about some boring matches. I understand you enjoy doing it safe and under the rules and with science. I prefer action,memorable moments,something like that. If somebody wants to box.i don't care his health or bank account.i will pay if you put up a show. Early boxing was more true boxing than this modern boxing. They wanted to show the world.they are ultimate alpha male. You went,in purpose to break other man's will and heart. Now you go in to play chess. Boxers are still warriors. Atleast for modern world standars. But they are punch of weak bicthes if you compare them to past warriors.
Yes it was used to be. With smaller gloves,more rounds,aggressive style was giving you points. Now current boxing rules are taking care you fight with pillows,so nobody gets hurt.and that the better "boxer" will win. With less rounds. So that again the "weaker" man had more chance.so they reduced the importance of stamina. Again fighting with pillows. Referees who are always between the two,and looking they are safe. Sounds ridiculous in toughman sport yes? So i don"t understand how boxing is entertaiment anymore.
Why dont we just bring back gladiators at the colosseum with lions and chariots, then winner takes all the dough whilst the fans cheer on?! Gtfoh
Why we just don't change rules. Who you are to claim modern boxing is more of boxing than early 1900's. Yes now it's more technical.but those dudes in early days wanted to be like lion kings. We are just soft now. I'm getting critized the hell out of me. And i only want more entertaiment. In sport that should generate it to be succesfull. Is more KO's and gruelling battles something you people hate?? You tell me GTFO..think about it a second. Have a nice day.
Boxing needs to stop hating on itself. Guys who like to box are ridiculed for being boring just because your dine a dozen brawlers beat the **** out of eachother just because that's all they're limited to. Boxing also hates on itself because it's so separated. Big names rarely get together to make fights. Loma should have Rigo and Mickey lined up, not Marriaga for example.
