Where are my fellow savants of the sweet science?

There have been a couple attempts at boxing threads on here, but they end up dying (much like the way sport itself is consumed by the general public). It's my favorite sport by far, but even my interest wanes at times. Between Showtime getting out the business (even there last two years stunk), top fighter's inactivity and the lack of big fights being made with any type of consistency, it's a tough sell.
It's also too dang expensive. Showtime was $150 a year, ESPN+ $140, DAZN $250 (for a crap product the last two years, after 3 years of being an excellent value at $99 and then $125) and then with so many of the big fights (especially PBC) going to PPV at $85 a clip; it costs over $1,000 a year to watch a hit or miss product….that you have to stay up until midnight to watch the main event. I still love it, though.

Right here, dude. The square circle is the truest test of athletic skill, power, grace, character, and the sheer will to win of any sport in the world.
Agree. None of the first three fights were terrible, but none of them were very good, either.GrapevineAg said:
Thanks for the heads-up. After the Stars game 7 win and a few cervezas, I decided to get some sleep and watch the fights today. Kind of ho-hum until the main event which was very entertaining.
LOL, not the best plan!YokelRidesAgain said:
Nery shouldn't have called Inoue "very average", and definitely shouldn't have knocked him down. That just made him mad.
DVR'ed it to watch after the Stars game & postgame.Bunk Moreland said:

Honestly I forgot about the Lomachenko fight. Not surprised at the outcome. Kambosos' only top result was a victory over Teofimo Lopez, during which Lopez was reportedly experiencing a potentially life threatening medical issue.Bunk Moreland said:

Honestly can't decide who I'm rooting for. Huge Fury fan but I love Usyk as well. Hope it's an epic fight.

He gave Fury the 4th-7th and 12th rounds, as did the other two judges, as well as the 2nd round (two of three judges scored that one for Fury as well).4 said:
Not sure what fight the judge was watching who scored 114-113 in favor of Fury???
Any fight other than the UD HW Championship and the ref calls a TKO in the 9th.
Usyk won that fight outright
