Out of your group of friends are you the only one who likes boxing?

sadly, i am the only one that keeps up with boxing. even worse, most folks i know just want to talk about mma! :fire

esb general boxing forum, you are my real friends (even if we argue religiously) :good

 

Its kinda easy to attract my hispanic friends to see fights just grab a 18 pack and its on! Dont care whos boxing and if theres someone impressive were gonna watch his next fight. I also watch Solo Boxeo Tecate every friday with my roomate.

 

Yeh thats pretty true. I spend WAAAY too much time on here......but I love it. And I don't care who you are, you can learn a good amount from reading/posting on here (assuming of course you can sift through the **** posts and trolling)

 

I always have arguments with my friends I hate MMA.

 

welllif youre my friend...you have no choice...you will grow to like it...cause i do BBq s for ther fights and ****..and invite most friends over....so for the most part..my friends like it...especially my one friend kirk...i think you guys might know him...

 

Thats the funniest part though; I don't know about you but my arugments with people about MMA last all of 5 seconds. I just say something like "name 5 different weight divisions in boxing", or "name 10 different boxers". Then when they can't its argument over because they don't know **** about boxing so how can they talk it down? Problem solved :good

 

hey, where do you study? i'm a fratman myself in UP.:deal

Yeah, in my circle of friends no one knows boxing unless we're talking about pacquiao. they even mistake the three mex barrera, morales and marquez for one another. some of my friends who know i love to watch boxing would ocassionally bring up a conversation about boxing that they read from a newspaper only to my disappointment because they don't really know much and wouldn't make for an interesting conversation for me. the only one who knows as much and eager to watch would be my father, he leaves in the province and i would phone him regularly everytime a fight is on TV.

in my frat, they talk more about mma than boxing. they love the slam bang-over the top aura of UFC but wouldn't appreciate the class of boxing.

 

Nah . . . we are a group of 14 . . . compose of friends and relatives and of of us are boxing crazy son o' the bitches.

. . . but I'm the only one who's posting on boxing websites. The rest spend their time eating pussies and playing poker after each business hour or after office hours for the others. :yep

 

they only watch pacquiao. they find it hard to distinguish a KD from a KO. enough said!!!

 

yea I got one friend who is a pretty interested boxing fan and another friend who used to like boxing but stopped arpund 2003, so he only knows jones, mayweather, mosley, wright, guys who were big aound that time. Everyone else I know is limited to tyson, de la hoya, and that "annoying black guy he just lost to". lol The new talk of the town is Rampage jackson, serra, st pierre, lidell, and kimbo sadly. I gotta admit kimbo is pretty damn entertaining.

 

Being A Puerto Rican I Have To Admit I'm Lucky I Have Some Countrymen That Share My Enthusiasm, And Being In Orlando, Fl Helps, But Then Again The Younger Generation And Even The Current Ones Know More About Mma Than Boxing, Not To Mention Nfl, Nba, Etc....

 

i deal poker in a casino and you would be astounded at the % of young males who are into MMA... i'd say it's well over 50%... as for boxing, they all despise it

having said that, i have close friends who all like boxing but i would say none as much as i do

 

i have friends who watch fights, but they dont know too much about the sport which makes it a little frusrating when talking about it

 

In a word yes.

But my other mates all watched Hatton - Mayweather and Calzaghe - Hopkins.

Watching it with them, and with them pretending to know about boxing is painfull, as I am sure most of you know.
