The fans who booed Cunningham when he was interviewed were classless...

Great fight atmosphere, but I thought the fans could've at least gave Cunningham a standing ovation. Instead, they booed his ass when he was being interviewed.

 

i agree was truely classless

 

They were whistling like the way they do at tennis matches when there's a bad call.

 

Yea that **** was classes...

The man beat one of my top 5 favorite boxers in Wlodarczyk.

Hr deserves respect in this fight and also being a true champ.

 

Were you at the fight, too?

 

Who cares? You just saw a hell of a fight by both fighters.

If it was exclusively hardcore Cunningham fans in there it would have been the same thing the other way around.

They're fans, and they are having a good time at a sporting event, probably drinking all night. Nothing classless about it, and both athletes know this. They paid for those tickets, and those guys paychecks, it's not like they went in there for free.

 

I couldn't disagree with you more. Yes, the fans are free to do what they want, but that doesn't mean they're right in booing Cunningham. The amount of heart and will that Cunningham showed in a losing effort should not have been booed. Perhaps if Cunningham clinched onto dear life and made the fight awful, but that wasn't the case. Commendable performances should be commended.

 

+1

You don't boo a guy after the fight who fought as hard as he could. ESPECIALLY when your guy won the damn fight.

That booing was likely for the judge who gave Cunningham the fight. That's not Cunningham's fault, don't give him grief. Cunningham got off the deck three times, you have to give the guy credit for heart. He also fought a foolish but crowd-pleasing fight. The fans should be happy, not boo him.

 

Unfortunently the drunk boxing fans werent able to act as chivalrous as they should have.

Is it nice? No. It probably isnt. Is Cunningham crying now because of it? No. He probably isnt.

If he gets himself a bigger fanbase you won't be able to hear as many of the boo's.

All I am saying is what do you expect from the majority of fans. They were just having a good time. Relax.

 

Exactly. People get on fans too much. They paid for their seats, they're entitled to boo if they wish. Period.

 

I don't disagree with you. And I agree Cunningham deserves respect, no doubt. Thats just the way it is, though.

The fans at the Golota-Tyson fight were pretty classless as well throwing soft-drinks and popcorn at him when he was leaving the ring, although it was later said he could have died had he continued.

Fans will be fans. Booing isnt like they just insulted his mother.

 

What was wrong with Golota during the Tyson fight?

 

I guess after the fight he had a few tests/scans done and they found some broken off bone fragment or something dangerously close to his brain. I'm no doctor and don't know the details, but his doctor said had he continued he risked severe injury, and maybe even death. He took some of Tysons best punches that night, and those hurt.

 

Still, you can't blame the fans for throwing food at Golota. They didn't know about his condition. As far as they were concerned, Golota/Tyson was a great fight on paper and Golota suddenly quit without warning. From that perspective, they had every right to do what they did.

Totally different set of circumstances than this fight.

 

True, but still was classless. Even on a far greater scale then this fight, as it exceeded booing.

Golota was in there, not the fans, and if he felt something was not right, it was his health, his body, and his life on the line not the fans. There was no merrit to chucking food at him. Fuked up? I think so, but no need to get worked up about it. Just a bunch of rowdy boxing fans.

So if you agree with that, and not this, that is being somewhat hypocritical.
