Montiel & Melendez just put on the FOTY.

Yes, I am sorry to say I didn't watch the fight and therefore am not a real fan. I mean, **** the Psych paper I have due tomorrow to help get my doctorate. And even more so, what the hell is my problem dropping $50 to watch a boxing match this weekend!!? No real fan would ever do that....

Point is, I think your accusation is a wild jump to a crazy conclusion.

 

100 percent agree on all of this. This was an EXCELLENT fight - two solid pros, competing at a high level, in a give and take battle where BOTH guys hit the canvas.

And while this has probably been the best fight I've seen on VS. since they started their show last year, they have had quite a few decent cards, and it is VERY much on the level of what ESPN shows, and in several instances, better.

When I was watching this fight I was thinking to myself "now THIS is why I LOVE boxing." It was that kinda fight!:yep

 

Uh, I agree with you!!

Seriously - every one of those fights was decent. I'd add Pavlik's destruction of McKart in there too. Sure, there were a few HW stinkers featuring Tye Fields and Rahman - which are probably the fights these naysayers watched, btw - but overall, the quality of the Versus fights were at least as good as typical ESPN fare.

 

So you're more of a fan because you watched this one?

What about people who just didn't have any interest in this card looking from the outside, that makes them lesser fans and nuthuggers because of it?

Guess what, I caught the card, it was a very good scrap even though you are overreacting, but I wouldn't have blamed someone if they weren't interested OR EVEN didn't have the ****ing channel in it outright and therefore missed it, that wouldn't make them lesser fans, but why am I bothering with someone who is content with praising mediocrity to begin with half the time and then acts like people who don't praise the mediocrity are what is wrong with boxing?

There are plenty of cable cards on ESPN or VS that didn't seem like they'd be much but turned out to be highly entertaining, I've missed several, so have you. Grow up you little ****.

 

I caught the card too but wasnt that impressed with teh main even either. It was good but cmon.. The Conception fight was better

 

Exactly, he also bitches at people who call a true glass jaw, such as that Bernard Dunne was it, as an example of one of the many problems with the sport right now.

Guess he doesn't understand comparable analysation and then the exploitative side of boxing politics.

 

You can be a fan in different ways. You are broadstroaking here. Some are analytical, some are in it just to watch brutal displays. It's this way with any sport. Your view is not the only view, and those of us who didn't watch it for whatever reason doesn't mean we are "so-called" fans.

 

Most people dont keep guys at 112 pounds or whatever weight Montiel the biker shorts tight ass trunks wearing boxer fights at. There arent Montiel fans. I cant watch his stupid ass for wearing gay trunks. But he is a fighter and a gutsy one with skill. Melendez I dont know **** about and is probably nothing special at ****ing all. And by the way. Marquez Mabuza on showtime probably takes a huge **** on the fight you watch.

 

I think he'll watch an obscure undercard fight somewhere in Napahoe Casino down in Mississipi just to prove he knows ****... and yell to the world did you see this fight??:verysad

 

He is most defintely not articulate in the slightest and is in it for just the give and take. Yeah we like that ****, but we like SKILL too. Every fight dont have to be a ****ing war. Two bum ass fighters can duke it out and put on a show..that **** does not thrill me...This goof needs to get a grip.
