Boxing

[TheBigO]

Do we have any boxing fans here? Did anyone get to see yesterdays fights?

 

[Milgod]

I'm a fan you could say. Looking forward to De La Hoya v Mayweather, hopefully it will live up to expectation.

 

[TheBigO]

I enjoy watching Boxing every once in a while. However, Boxing has been dying out. MMA has taken its place as the #1 combat sport in America.

I used to be very into boxing back in the Tito Trinidad days, I watched every one of his fights...but since he retired, boxing would be dead here if it weren't for Miguel Cotto.

I used to watch some of the boxing specials that were on PPV because in my area whenever you bought a WWF/WWE pay per view, you got the next boxing match for free, so I'd watch them just because.

UFC will take over boxing in the next few years. Mark me on that.

I used to love boxing but the state it's in now is just sad. There are too many champions in too many weight classes with too much corruption. MMA will surpass it within a few years simply because it's organized and boxing is not. The sport would be fine if it had an organization, but as it is now everyone is more concerned with "getting theirs" then the overall health of the sport.

UFC will never take over boxing.

I think boxing is dead, and will never come back. It's just so disorganized, so many of the best fighters are from foreign countries, there's not a regular schedule. UFC is going to take over fighting in this country.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Young Legend @ Jun 1 2007, 02:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>UFC will never take over boxing.</div> In the United States, it probably has already.

Boxing has never been a sport where a regular schedule was needed either.I don't think it is dead, I do think that the sport on a whole needs to pull its finger out and start marketing itself better again. It also needs to somehow go down to just one belt per weight class.

All title shots are on pay per view for ufc. Boxing no. THey show live boxing every week on t.v. Ufc is once or twice a monthThe best fighters arent from foreign countries.Oscar De La hoya, Floyd Mayweather, Winky Wright, Bernard Hopkins are all from the U.SFloyd Patterson, George Foreman, Muhammed Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, all american

 

[Young Legend]

UFC is honestly a joke.Some of them guys claim to be "masters" at kickboxing or some other thing, but all they do is crawl around on the floor.And they say they are world class athletes ROFL

I love watching boxing and it really needs to stop having it on PPV (all the big fights) and make it free. Thus more people would watch and get into it. They also need to advertise it much more.
