Jabbing and defense is boxing whether you like it or not.

Not nearly as terrible as 90% of UFC fights lololol

Gayweather is a fraud, he cherry picked nearly every opponent and lost to a semi-retired De La Hoya (who got cheated by the judges).

Boxing is dead but it's still better than meme sports like MMA.

But no boxing is not dead. It's alive and well.

>But no boxing is not dead. It's alive and well.
It's corrupt as fuck and a lot of people don't take it seriously anymore. You never know if what you're watching is predetermined or not.
>>
>>66002681
No. People take it seriously, and as corrupt as it is, it is still a better product to watch than THAT UFC.

Please Froch Gorges 2 had 80,0000 people watching in Wembly Stadium. Fuck off ya cunt. China, Europe, Russia, Japan, Central and South America and the entire Latino American community watch boxing as opposed to meme sports like MMA.

Compared to sports like Football and Rugby, boxing is a niche sport. It can only get big crowds once every year or so if a certain fight captures the interest of the casual fan.
>>
>>66003359
Not really.

WladFury had a huge crowd. So did Quigg Frampton, and any boxing match held in Las Vegas, Los Angeles or New York sells out their respective venues consistently. Two unknown to casual fighters in Golovkin and Lemeuix sold out MSG Canelo Cotto did over 1Million PPV, just a few months after that farce known as MayPac.so no, it draws a big crowd once a month or so.

Its only matter of time until a new worldwide star comes around and raises interest even further once again.
>>
>>66004253
Boxing can't draw huge crowds and money in the way that more popular sports can. It just can't. There are obviously going to be marquee fights every year that generate a lot of interest, but it's not a regular occurrence.
>>
>>66004315
No, it is a regular occurrence. Not like poverty ball or rugby, two less physically less demanding sports with games every other day or week and world wide leagues,but it draws wherever there is a fight. Boxing is alive and well and once the next super stars rise it will thrive.

Dana must be shitting himself right now.
>>
>>66002520
This. If you name the top two fighters of any division in boxing to some random on the street, no one will know them.

Face it OP, Rogan was right when he said Boxing will no longer make stars like the UFC. The only notable ones were the ones who were around the time of Mayweather. It's downhill since he retired.

Not to mention the boring ass 12 rounds where fighters would rather survive and win then KO, get a chance to...Fuck it. Boxing is just awful. It's hardly a combat sport.
>>
>>66004315
Joshua, Haye and Fury can sell out any arena in the UK every single time
>>
>>66005164
I'm sure if you mentioned Canelo Alvarez vs Amir Khan a decent amount of people would know who they are.
>>
>>66001590
Legit. Money would UTTERLY DESTROY ANY UFC FIGHTER AT HIS WEIGHT.

Filthy UFC cucks

Lord Money Mayweather
>classy man with excellent taste who is the undisputed GOAT at his sport and has never failed to win, ever
>>
>>66005164
You sound like someone that has never watched a boxing match in his life except the MayPac one.

People with class and culture know who Wlad Klit and Tyson Fury are, as well as Manny Pacqiuao and Canelo Alvarez as well as Amir Khan.

Only Mayweather fought like that. For the most part everyone else wants KOs. If you have an open mind I can show you fights from this year that blow the head off the meme that is known as the UFC. Also. Joe Rogan is a company man.
>>
>>66005164
Dude UFC is so desperate for stars they have a woman on the cover of their fucking video game and Dana White was blowing her hard body in order to hype her up only to find out that 1. She's that, a hype job and 2. She would much rather make movies than get paid shit and fight for him.
>>
>>66005262
Kell Brook and Khan would sell out Wembly, as would FuryHaye
>>
>>66005732
Joshua just sold it out in 90 seconds for his next fight against some random American. I think it was the same case for his last fight too. If he lives up to the hype he's going to be perhaps our biggest boxing star ever. Him vs. Haye or Fury would bring the country to standstill.
>>
>>66002681
400k of your people paid to see anthony joshua knock out a bum its far from dead especialy in europe
>>
Vargas vs. Ali, Browne vs. Chagaev and Khurtsidze vs. Douglas were all better than the UFC last night.
>>
>>66004675
Dana's probably feeling pretty good, Tate just bailed him out by exposing Holm, now he can just throw Ronda back into the mix and have her heem Tate for a third time and you're right back where you started

That was the worst part of the night, meme rousey is going to be back in full force and dana will probably just keep throwing Holm wrestlers
>>
>>66005896
David Haye's last fight drew 3m viewers on a random cable channel primarily known for showing reruns of Top Gear and QI all day. We currently hold more world titles than any other country, including USA and Mexico. Boxing is booming over here. Our amateurs will probably do well in the Olympics this summer too.

Congrats on Lucas Browne's win last night btw. I always wonder why there aren't more Aussies in boxing, considering your love of contact sports and generally belligerent nature.

Joseph Parker vs Joshua should be good

im actually irish living over here a couple of years now, boxing at the olympics is going to be great this year so many good teams eager to see how we handle seeing as walsh left for america.

Callum Smith - DeGale/Groves will also be huge fights. Also to answer your aussies in boxing question i train in a boxing gym and my thoughts are because they just generally teach a bad style and i think youll notice it if you look over the australian pros its just so sloppy the attitude is mostly "sparring will solve it"
>>
>>66006352
They should import some Cubans..

But yea Aussies lack fundamentals.
>>
>>66006766
ever watch soliman fight? my god its like he fights with a coin up his arse

>>66006352
Yeah, Ireland has a strong amateur team right now too. Barnes, Conlan and Ward look good.

Not sure about Smith (Liam or Callum, for that matter). They just strike me as typical, one-dimensional Gallagher fighters like Quigg. Fit and strong with good fundamentals but "no special effects".

Flanagan-Crolla and McDonnell-Haskins are big domestic fights that I want to see made. I'd also like to see Yafai get a world title shot soon.

just a few examples. Boxing fights can and ARE exciting if you know the right fights/the boxers' styles and what they represent. You know you're looking at a defensive fight whenever Mayweather's name figures, you know about Bernard Hopkins the same, you know Ali was a gorilla tanking punches till his brain exploded and till he couldn't wipe his ass on his own anymore, you know Tyson was all about KO'ing, etc etc.


The only problem is that boxing has been declining in the US, because they havent been dominating it, and as it's always been said and it always turns out to be true - Americans don't care about the sport, they care about the competitors, about the image of the athlete. And with no American hope anywhere on the radar, they just abandon the sport like plastics. (at least a good part of them)
