it started when ufc90 bored the shiittt out of me.aside from the sokoudjou-cane fight.everything was crap.bisping-leben.vera-jardine.what a snoozer.
then PAVLIK-HOPKINS.ohh nard.your unbelievably great,but does the word slick have to be synanimous with boring?
we know you still can do it against these top rated FIGHTers.but please stop doing it.hang it up man.im just so sick of it. :mad:
Have to disagree: Not only did Hopkins put on an entertaining school-fest, but he looked really good while doing it. This was anything buy boring. Unless, of course, you were waiting on a Pavlik KO. Then I can see how you might have become a bit frustrated and bored.
How was that fucking boring, don't make me punch you. He threw plenty of punches, he threw combinations, he came on late trying to knock out Pavlik, He looked as hungry as he did against Trinidad IMO, just didn't quite have the physical ability to do what he did those years ago against a much smaller opponent.
I'll be the first to say that I've always found Hopkins fights boring due to his style. BUT... you can't take anything away from him tonight. Tonight's Hopkins was unlike any Hopkins I've seen in years (maybe since the Tito fight).
It was so one sided that it was boring. Pavlik had zero offence.
Guys like this are the reason why boxing is in the trouble it's in.
People have no appreciation for skill, they just want to see brawlers.
I hate PBF, but i had to applaud everything he did in the ring because he's brilliant.
Don't be a fan of boxing unless you can appreciate everything the sport has to offer, multiple styles and 12 round decisions included.
THANK YOU, fucking christ its been forever to hear another wise person. I find this type of fighting the funnest to watch. It doesn't have to be a bloodfest for a fight to be great, or as a moment. This victory is the largest accomplishment IMO since Holyfield beat Tyson, or Leonard beating Hagler.Quote:

Hopkins was great. So was his performance. Nothing boring about it. Maybe you should stick to just watching UFCQuote:

Amen to that... In the same vein as what the guy is saying though, you could say that every soccer match in the history of soccer is boring, but if you enjoy the whole game for what it is, not for the 1 or 2 goals a game, then you can love that sport...Quote:

I don't see how anyone can call that fight boring, it was a punch perfect demonstration of the sweet science. B Hop put on an exhibition.
It may not have been a blood and guts war but that was the finest display of pugilism you will see this year, what Hopkins did was simply incredible.
Seriously who would have thought that B Hop at age 43 could dominate the 17 years younger undefeated undisputed middleweight champ like that?
I'm not sure a similar feat has ever occured in all of boxing history, maybe Taeth with his 100 fight a week experience will be able to tell me if this has ever happened before but I certainly can't remember a 43 year old ever putting on a clinic and winning every round against a prime champion.
It will go down as one of the greatest performances in the history of boxing.
Hopkins = fucking legend :allhail:
from round 3 onwards i knew the same thing wouldnt happen.that made it boring.and yeah i knew from theres no way pavlik cud win.it's a masterful performance.but as we saw nards style was just an absolute schooling for pavlik.wasnt even close.and for the record i will love to watch a fight between two tacticians.say the rjj and bhop fight.and mayweather too.but i didnt bought this fight to see a rising star get totally owned.
;D Of for fuck's sake, what a cross you've had to bear :rolleyes:Quote:
