Paul Kent Article..'Why Boxing is Dying'

"There's another boxing maxim he refuses to acknowledge: the fighter is always the last to know" - Paul Kent.

So true :deal

Who can tell the likes of Holyfield, Roy Jones etc that it's time and make them take notice?

 

Danny Green can? lol

 

Paul Kent would have to have the most appropriate surname ever..coz he is a massive Kent

 

I disagree. There has been a lot of good fights lately and there is still more to come. I would say that by the time the year ends it will be one of the best years of boxing we have had in a long time.

 

This. We have Hopkin's breaking records,we have unification bouts that have been great to watch e.g Donaire-Rigo,Alvarez-Trout and Kessler-Froch coming up. Boxing has been good so far this year.

 

yeah, its probably been picking up in more recent times.

there's obviously plenty of **** in boxing, but things won't change in a hurry.

if fighters were rewarded more for ability, toughness etc. and not how many zero's on there records, then people would watch more.

 

I really don't understand why people are getting so worked up about this article?? Can anyone explain it to me? Is it just the title?

David Aloua went nuts at Kent on twitter.

 

Maybe just sit down and let the adults talk for a while buddy.

 

It was a legitimate comment, not an attempt to troll. Thanks for the advice though!

Whilst I don't agree boxing is dying, I do agree that boxing mismatches like Pianeta vs Wlad dont do the sport any favours. I also dont want to see past their prime vets like Holyfield and Jones Jnr fight anymore either at the expense of their legacy but that's their call.

 

My bad mate! i didnt even read the comment i just thought it said your name was buster and i was attempting to stir him up

 

liar.

but will u admit it?

not likely.

don't u look a bit stupid now. lol.
