If you had a family member who was a boxer would you want him to look like he gave it his all after every fight? Or would you want him to hit without getting hit? Surprising to hear you say you despise mma. they have all the brawling and giving it their all and looking like it when its over.

I ****ing HATE the "runner" label some fans insist on using. What Adamek did last night, what Sergio Martinez does, what PBF does, that is called boxing! And whether you like it or you don't like it, a 20 X 20 ring is 400 square feet and it is legal to use all 400 feet of that mother****er!!

I think you, along with others, fling around the term "running' a little too freely. There is a difference between running away from your opponent and boxing his ass off with lateral movement.

Having said that, I do agree that boxing, just like any other sport, is about entertainment and all out offensive fighters brings that excitement more than any other style in boxing. Overly defensive fighters don't seem to get that. It's just as much about putting fans in the seats as it is about winning the fights. That's how you get paid for your efforts in the ring. The more you attract, the more money you make.

Boxing is about excitement. Look how excited we are about the Kessler v. Froch fight, or Angulo's aggresion, and even Adamek v. Arreola, why because for the most part (with exception Adamek running at times but was aggressive) those fighters gave the public's money's worth. I know boxing is the sweet science, but the sweet science will not pay the bills. We need all action fighters like Angulo, Arreola, Vasquez/Marquez, Kirkland, Manny, not a bunch of runners like Love Child, Cintron (against Angulo), Mayweater (who talks a big game but runs like a ***** if he is so fast get in there and trade they can't hit what they can't see right), that ***** Dirrell (who ran like crazy from Abraham).

I ****en despise MMA, but I liked what Dana White said about Anderson Silva (i think) about him running around and not fighting. Those fighters that run make me sick.

Great example of a action fighter is the South Korean Ji Hoon Kim who no one in the states would give a **** about, but because he was all action on ESPN with his knockout win I can't wait to see him again.

Is it just the Mexican in me that I want to see action fighters or the American consumer that pays for Showtime only to see the Super 6 turn into a slugfest like Froch/Kessler. If I wanted only drama I would go and watch golf, but I want my boxer's to look like they gave it their all guts and glory.

AM I WRONG OR AM I RIGHT?

Didn't really read all that, but from your thread title. I agree.

The man comes to fight. Thats what I watch boxing for. You can keep that "sweet science" stuff.

There's at least 10 Angulo's in the UFC. Try that sport.
