[stillin729]

I copped the NES Classic for $120 so gonna fire that up with some brews and chill with the 23 yr old

[spacedoodoo]

it takes a certain level of intelligence to like boxing.

the sweet science> street brawling

 

[stillin729]

I enjoy boxing but the death of the heavyweight division has really killed what used to be a popping sport, Tyson's comeback fail was the worst thing to happen to boxing

I know

Playstation is retro to her

 

[spacedoodoo]

no shots, no shots 

I'm just not into barbaric style of fighting. boxing can get bloody and violent too, but it's kinda rare.

styles make fights. I enjoy watching a guy like sweat pea, or floyd pick their shots accurately and precisely, wearing a boxer down with defense and counter punching. 

most people wanna watch sluggers square up and duke it out. that's just not my style. 

 

[stillin729]

what made boxing popular in the United States was the idea someone could get knocked the F out

that rarely happens anymore because the Heavyweight division is dead

Which tells me all I need to know about how much you know about mma.

But it's most people, doesn't bother me by your lack of knowledge.

Boxing is as good as it's been in the last 20 or 30 years bruv.

Y'all kill me.

 

[spacedoodoo]

knockouts definitely still happen bro.

welterweights and middelweights run boxing, and with smaller guys you're not gonna see a knockout every fight. 

I was joking about the intelligence comment 

 

 

[EddieDoyers]

UFC is def more relevant than boxing now

 

[kdslittlebro]

Let Conor and Floyd settle this

they happen but boxing has been on a steady decline

the average person used to be able to name 4-5 fighters, now it's basically Floyd and that's it

 

[Deleted member 37754]

Horrible matchup, would be ridiculously entertaining though.

 

[EddieDoyers]

Let Conor and Floyd settle this

I don't think Conor can last 3 rounds with Floyd in boxing

 

[DeadsetAce]

i know. i'm just messing with you

and you're right to a degree for sure. it's the same reason a lot of americans hate soccer and hockey. not enough "scoring" to keep people's attention.

as someone who isn't crazy into boxing, i like to see action when i watch fights. i want to see dudes attack. i don't need blood and guts. but like what floyd does in the ring is just 12 rounds of boring ****, for me. the speed and precision is impressive as hell of course, but overall, it's just kinda blah for me to watch.

i liked watching paq in his prime a ton. the heavy weights (tyson, lewis, evander) were obviously fun to watch. that british dude prince naseem was TONS of fun to watch in the 90s.

and im sure now there's some great fighters. but it just doesn't get me interested or excited like it did back in the day.

Floyd would kill Conor but I would die for that payday too
