    Cuz he wants to. No rule says they have to be red.

    But there yellow. Why he pick yellow?

    What difference does it make? There fucking gloves

    I doubt he cares. And he ain't losing

    I don't think there is enough access to good boxing matches to keep even myself interested hardcore in the sport. By this I mean every day looking over matches, outcomes, projections, in comparison to other sports which often have great matchups scheduled that actually occur when they where scheduled.

    I love boxing and will always watch it, but I no longer care who is ranked #8 in the WBC.

    The belts really have ruined it. At least in other sports you have a champion at some point.

    To the ones who say; How can you watch two men beating the hell out of each other ? I cant understand how anyone can find enjoyment in that.

    I tell them they can only see whats going on right on the surface.

    Fighters and real fight fans can see underneath it all and they watch it because it can be as intricate as a game of chess except with real consequences and the consequences effect performance just as much as their emotion, heart and will holding together all their skills.

    Then there are levels and styles and something deeper called being in the zone.

    I can explain it.
    But I cant understand it for you.

    The WBC doesn't even care who's ranked #8, other than the fact that they can bestow upon them the Copper Belt.

    I agree that the lack of functioning structure takes away from the sport in a big way. There are still great fights and great fighters, but the context of where it all fits in the sport as a whole is seriously lacking.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
