your favourite thing about boxing

ESB is the best thing about boxing. :good

The build up to big bouts...when they happen. The whole sport really, apart from Bob Arum...I despise that lying ****er.

 

I really love watching a good, heavy handed, boxer/puncher do his thing.

The comeback stories are awesome. Two of my favorite career resurrections were Danny "Little Red" Lopez, and Shane Mosely.

I love it when great fights seemingly come out of nowhere, like Cermeno/Valdez.

When I spot a guy who is relatively unknown, and I KNOW he is a champion in the making.

Those are a few of my favorite things.

 

The sport is difficult and individual.

A fighter makes or breaks himself with his dedication, work, ability and a little luck.

There is always the unknown. Anything can happen at any time.

The biggest suck on the sport are everything Aussie mentioned, plus bull**** egos (*Floyd cough cough*):

newly created weight classes, multiple sanctioning bodies, catchweights, mismatches, promoters

 

Don't forget the other lying ****er who is ruining boxing, Don King.

 

There have been some very techincal Mexican boxers. When you're fighting at the elite level you're bound to get hit often. The only boxer who doesnt is Floyd Mayweather. If you compare Mexicans' stats with those of boxers from other countries, you'll find that they don't get hit more. Isn't Katsidis "The Speed Bag" Australian? Now there's a man who uses his face to block punches.

 

WRONG!!!!

Collins is IRISH:twisted::twisted::twisted:

 

Anything can happen

 

Great fights, i can take lots of this other boxing ****, just to see one Corrales vs Castillo or Duran vs Barkley.

 

The amount of bravery fighters can display when pitted against the right opponent. Although I consider ALL fighters brave for stepping in the ring period.

"The ultimate blood and guts warrior". When is anyone person called that in other sports?

The way people live and die with a figher. I've never seen people get as attached to teams in other sports, as I have seen people get attached to boxers.

Sorry guys, but when I watch Floyd Mayweather Jr. shut down good fighters like Mosley, Corrales, & Hatton I can't help but be in awe of how truely great his pure boxing ability is.

"You're blowin it son"

How many times have you changed the channel or left a stadium early when a football team is up 49-7 with two minutes in the last quarter because it's obvious who is gonna win? We all know with boxing, ecspecially a big puncher, that a fighter can lose every round in a fight, but still win it BIG. Although it's generally rare, for a freak come from behind ko, it's always possible up till the last second of a fight.

Arturo Gatti vs Mickey Ward I

I could go on for days...

 

The hate for This should be automatic if you truely love the sport.

If none of that corruption turely bothers the **** out of you, than you probably don't like boxing as much as you think.

 

a good 12 round tear up going to a split decision and the suspense waiting see who the winner is...
barrera-morales 1 perfect example

 

The absolute best thing in the whole world is to see two evenly matched boxers who come to fight and are NOT influenced by the element in boxing who cannot box, yet deploy many artificial and barely legal methods to give their boxer the edge in a competition.
Fighters like Floyd Mayweather whose supereme skill is all that's needed to obtain a victory without resorting to the PEDs like Manny Ratman and the Klit girl depend on to win fights.

A good, superiorly talented fighter like Mayweather understands the fundamentals of boxing and demonstrates this in his bouts, leveraging the jab to keep an opponent at bay while setting up sweet right crosses, hooks, and uppercuts all while avoiding retribution punching by his opponent. Hitting, while not being hit,
jab, jab, jab, while moving his opponent to his strength. Jab, jab, jab, right hook. Scoring and moving out of range and setting up his next combination. Jab, right uppercut to the solar pleus followed by a Tyson like right uppercut to the jaw.
That's what's up with the sweet science, NOT creating a steroid monster in a lab who is a foot taller then all the opposition and winning on height, weight, and reach alone. That's boring as fukk! Plus, it's cheating invented by a group of liars.
