Thread: Most boring title fight you ever saw?

I heard the whole country of Uruguay fell asleep during Round 6.

When Muhammad fought against Jimmy Young, they were struggling to stay awake after the second!

Hasim Rahman vs. Monte Barrett
Chris Byrd vs. DaVarryl Williamson

That's what happens when friends fight

Wladimir Klitschko vs Sultan Ibragimov.

Tyson v Boneclutcher - was a stinker.
Hamed v Soto - was really crappy.

On a similar note Jones v Toney was not great as it should have been.

Running home with my Australian cousins to show them Danny Williams v Matt Skelton and being embarrassed by both lumps doing very little for 12 rounds.

Well if they gave you grief, remind them that the best Australia had at the time (Mirovic and Meehan) lasted 12 minutes and 32 seconds with them combined...

VD beat me to it, but Byrd-Williamson was dreadful

Snoozer

Ernie Terrell vs. Eddie Machen

All arms and clutching.

Wlad owns a few of these.


Wlad-Povetkin, given the prefight hype, was abysmal.


Staying with the HW division, Lewis-Tua actually put 5 of us to sleep simultaneously, which of course created hilarious picture-taking opportunities for some obviously amused wives.

Bika vs. Dirrell II is up there. Fuckin awful.


Nafeoul Ben Rabah vs. Juan Urango was pretty damn terrible, Ben Rabah ran all night and...lost the fight on the cards.


Justice was served imo.

Everyone tries to forget that one. But watch Nelson/Warring, it is actually worse. Rather than both landing one 'slap' a round, like Carlos and Johnny did; Warring won a near shut out, by winning each round one slap to nil.

Involving titlists in non title fights: I also had the misfortune to see Akinwande/Nelson. Imagine Nelson at his running worse, against a man so startled, he perfected his hugging tactics for a future world champ. The worse ever though maybe Alan Minter's third bout with Jan Magdziarz. That was so bad the ref walked out in disgust, disqualifying both fighters! It used to be on Youtube, but does not seem to be there anymore.

Found Minter/MagdziarzIII: probably best to watch from 8:00...
