Michael Fielding vs. Santos Saúl Álvarez Barragán & Tevin Farmer vs. Francisco Hernán Fonseca RBR

Hmm... dude should have listened to his friend Billy Zane.

So let's review the inane fights people have picked with mods ITT:

1. @dealt_with claiming that nothing was "illogical" about the very obvious gaffe made by Anthony Joshua (giving a stock well-wishing to Rocky Fielding in a prerecorded video piece, which he clearly didn't mean sincerely or give a toss about in truth, as evinced by not having done a shred of homework on the 168lb scene or that match-up itself), that Canelo, as of before he fought Rocky, was "among the best in the [super middleweight] division"...and then constantly moving the goalposts and employing an ever-morphing liquid mercury form of logic rather than admitting he was defending an indefensible position...
2. @cuchulain bristling at the usage of "Euro tier", as though it were some knock on Euros, and not what it has always been, a shorthand to signify that someone is good enough to contend for titles which are subordinate to world titles but superior to domestic ones, and then bending logic himself to defend his ill-advised crusade to champion the cause of European boxing, which never was under attack in the first place, based on a very stupid - nearly inexplicably stupid, as he doesn't really seem like all that much of a dunce otherwise - misunderstanding of a well-known phrase on his part.
3. @_Scott_ whinging about the long-running practice of using boxer's full legal names on here, as though refusing to call another grown man by a nickname (such as titular movie characters from the seventies, or the Spanish word for a type of spice) - or, in the case of Thai fighters, in a related debate that has been raging for years both here and on BoxRec and which proponents of the practice claim is an issue of "cultural sensitivity", of refusing to call a grown man by the name of a supermarket or any other corporate entity - is somehow not my prerogative, in the interest of keeping RBR titles more distinct from "regular" informal banter on here, with a modicum of professionalism and journalistic integrity.
4. @Boxingfan200 hurling insults like "moron" and "piece of trash" at @CST80 for saying - in a conversation with somebody else (@OpinionOfACasual , who can speak for himself and fight his own battles) in the first place - that GGG was the "away" fighter against Canelo, which he very arguably was, although technically neither was "at home".

It was like this whole board turned into a lemming colony and decided to all jump off the banned cliff at once. Place is gonna end up just a ghost town with @CST80 and I swapping turns making threads and replying to each other 24/7 at this rate.

Everybody chill. Don't pick stupid arguments with mods, especially if you're IN THE WRONG.

 

Those aren't their names, though. And you spelled Álvarez wrong.

 

That is on you, though...

 

Eh...no. I'm not going to feel obligated to go out of my way to encourage and enable other people's laziness and ignorance.
