It's wired, as much as i might moan about the fighter, i can never remember moaning about the actual fight :confused:
I even appreciated the Skelton-Sprott fight!
To sum it up for me; i can dislike a particular style as an individual but i will always admire any blend of styles... For me, that's the main appeal of Boxing.
yeah calzaghe hopkins was pretty good, 1st rd knockdown rememberQuote:

Pretty entertaining fight IMO.
I also don't agree with Vitali-Peters?
I used to watch Baldomir-Zab all the time! That wasn't a boring fight at all, if anything Spinks-Judah 1 was a boring fight that isn't mentioned much.
For me only 3 realllly stand out.
1. Chris Byrd-Davyrll Williamson
This undercard to Toney-Guinn, also on the same night as another big fight (Tarver-Jones III maybe?), the next week was Wladimir Klitschko-Samuel Peter fight which I was looking forward too as much as humanly possible. It was the most amped I was for the heavyweight division ever at this time. THIS FIGHT SUCKED. Oh my God, I have never seen 2 fighters never even get the action started and being content with fighting HORRIBLE fights. There is no reason you should ever get THAT with two people in a ring for 12 rounds. I remember they were talking about withholding the purse which for Byrd was a lot. The worst fight I have ever sit through completely. Something might happen? Oh my God, I was actually doing the RBR that night while Wacko did the HBO card. It's pretty funny to read in retrospect. Also, I scored the fight for Williamson. It was given to Byrd but I thought Williamson won. I don't care arguing it and I DEFINITELY won't go back and rescore it anytime soon.
2. Andre Dirrell - Curtis Stephens
Both were big time boxers in the amatuers at the same time and Stephens coming out was as good of a prospect as there was. He had a KO loss on his record and we saw in this fight that he just wasn't going to be a great fighter. I was so pumped for this one and then it was just Dirrell potshotting then at times literally running away from Stephens. Good footwork, ect. blah blah blah I don't care what anyone says this fight sucked in the worst way possible. Too bad Anthony Dirrell got derailed like he did, that's what I was thinking at the time. Dirrell has come back in a big way but this was a pathetic fight.
3. Jose Luis Castillo-Rolando Reyes
Rolando Reyes must have been thinking he had the opportunity of a lifetime, to fight in place of Diego Corrales against Jose Luis Castillo, a win could send his career to heights even he probably couldn't imagine. If nothing else, give the crowd a good fight and get on people's radar to come see you fight live. He gave the most pathetic effort you could imagine. I remember Castillo at times just planting his feet and standing still daring Reyes to come forward just a little bit and Reyes darted away, like Castillo was planning something :cwm13:
Mario Ramos - Demetrius Hopkins
Larry Holmes Vs. Butterbean ;D
Where did you get ''Boring'' from Hopkins putting on a master class against Mason Dixon Tarver, in what must be Tarver's most shameful performance, while getting dumped on his arse.... I thought that was great entertainment! ;)Quote:
