The Boxing thread

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Boxing has made an absolute mockery of Boxing. These YouTubers are giving the public fights they want. Might not be what you want but then again neither of us want Joshua v Helenius or Fury v Chisora but that’s what we are getting.

I wouldn't say they are giving the public fights they want, certainly not the boxing public anyway. If mugs are happy to ppv for boxing's equivalent of Wrexham then fair fucks all round.

This is basically WWE Boxing.......

However, actual boxing needs a major overhaul so we get to see the fights that should happen (as they do in UFC)

Too many belts on offer, governing bodies need restructuring, too many weight classes, and then the main one is controlling the fights so we get to see the best v best

Real boxing still exists. I have seen some great fights this year.

Sadly this is Manchester and a packed 30k crowd. It’s fucking cringe worthy.

Take tonight's event for what it is, just entertainment, not boxing! The thing is people are paying daft money for these YouTube fights so I don't blame the competitors whatsoever.

I've watched a few of these events just for curiosity sake and they aren't great by any stretch, the other Paul brother can actually box a bit to be fair to him.

Had a few drinks now and am starting to enjoy the entertainment. It’s a bit like watching Oldham vs Carlisle

That was funny! Guy threw more punches at the security guards than he did at Paul!
