casual fans mad why tim duncan dont dunk like blake griffin. he's so boring and technical if you wanna watch street fights go to worldstarhiphop.
Brawling wins fights, and boxing puts people to sleep The problem is there is no way to measure the force behind the punches being thrown (that I am aware of) other than the eye test. That is why people thought manny won.
Holyfield said he has no interest in seeing a rematch. Give credit where it's due folks: Floyd is boring (and a beater of women), but he's unbeatable in his weight class in the sport of boxing.
not many people appreciate the techinical parts of boxing. i thought it's brilliant how floyd makes great punchers look so average. anybody can throw flurries but it takes true mastery to defend like that.
Very few are arguing that Mayweather "won" the fight. But damn man. That was some boring ish. Name another big time fighter that won fights by running and being defensive all the time? Its the death of the sport if this is what it has become.

Give Duncan Griffin's height of 6'9 and I think he would not block that many shots.....continue the discussion somewhere else
Getting up into your opponent's airspace and dodging their punches while landing your own is technical too. Apparently, being labeled as a casual viewer is bad? Even the most hardcore (insert any sport or activity here) enthusiast was a casual participant, once. It's really hard to introduce people to a particular thing, though, when it's as non-eventful as "ZOMG THE MOST HYPED FIGHT OF THE YEAR" turned out to be.
it's not even that they don't appreciate it - it's that they can't comprehend that it's a game with a scoring system involved. the goal is to win the game. nobody has solved floyd's strategy. if people would attempt to think about that and process that, they'd be smarter.
worldstarhiphop has the "entertaining" sloppy uncoordinated street fighting that some of you desperately crave.
Yeah for sure but Duncan has been eliminated tonight which is sweet. Floyd was never in danger but sure Manny did well I thought.

At least the loser on world star ends up on the ground. if floyd lost tonight he still makes more money than pak. How does the loser win more in anything? Something is wrong with boxing.
get that elitist bs out of here combat sport will never truly have a objective scoring system, it will always be different from traditional sports like basketball or soccer. fighting is about hurting each other period, no matter how much you rationalize it people don't buy tickets for fighters to "game" eachother. no matter how elitist you get, boxing is still a combat sport, and people know what fighting is and that's what they want to see. What they saw tonight was not what combat is about.
Boxing had its final nail in the coffin tonight. It is dead. Finished. My god that was painfully boring. So glad I didn't have to pay anything to suffer through that.
