if a fighter has no chance , why do you bother watching?

Because I'm a boxing geek and will watch just about anything.

 

:yep

 

That's not bad at all.

 

well people think whatever they want before a fight but you're never 100% till it happens. al you have to do is look at tyson-douglas. and if the fight turns as expected, nothing wrong with watching a good asswhipping.

 

To see it live instead of hearing about it. I'm not sure if I ever called a recent fight a complete tossup.

Just because we can get gung ho on a prediction doesn't mean we won't bother to watch it live. Why would we not want to see it live and wait for results? I don't see a reason not to watch a fight only because you're positive you know the outcome. That takes away all the energy of that paticular fight.

Getting excited and opioniated about a fight only to not watch it live or at all has to be one of the craziest things I ever heard of. Unless their is something more important like plans or money keeping you from watching it.

 

well, in those instances you have to account for the nuthuggers and haters or people who just go with the popular believe. biased fans say alot of things. they say those things but they themselves dont always believe it.

 

Well, everyone has a chance, often it's a very very very very very slim chance.

If it's a PPV when I think a guy has a very slim chance, I usually won't order it, although I did order Hopkins-DLH when I felt DLH had a very slim chance to win. It was a huge event, and Oscar was more competitive than I thought. Others like PBF-Gatti I didn't order.

But if it's on plain HBO and a total mismatch (DLH-Charpentier, PBF-Bruseles), I'll stlll watch it or tape it and watch it later, being the boxing junkie I am.

 

you brought up a good point. watching a one-sided fight on regular tv is one thing, paying for it on ppv is a whole nother matter entirely.

 

It's never 100%.

 

I watch it to see how they get knocked out. Often times the best knockouts come in fights were the other guy is completely over matched.

One of the great thing about boxing is that nothing is for certan. Upsets happen. Everything might go right for the underdog on that nite. This uncertanty creats even more excitemnt.
