    Default What is your favorite type of fight?

    My favorite is when the frontrunner is beating his opponent from pillar to post but then, ever-so-gradually, he begins to gas and allows the sure loser to become an unlikely winner (Delvin Rodríguez vs. Jesse Feliciano in 2007 was a perfect example).

    You must love Jackson vs. Castro from years back.

    Foreman vs. Moorer as well.

    My favorite fight?

    I like it when the more experienced fighter is the underdog to a youngster, and then wins.

    Salido v Lomachenko

    But my favorite fight like this is Mark Melligan vs Sebastian Lujan.

    Lujan is one of my fav fighters and a joy to watch.

    Is Lujan still fighting?

    He is dogmatic and a whirlwind.

    He is still ticking over, he fought Chris heerden in 2012 for an IBO title but since the Mark Melligan fight he's 4-3.

    Another I fancy is the predicted mismatch that turns out to be an upset and when it involves a supposedly “shot” fighter who apparently is due for a visit to the slaughterhouse, all the better.

    John Molina ko'ing Mickey Bey was a recent favorite. The underdog scenario roaring back to suddenly bring the ceiling down on the heavily groomed local favorite, his promoter sitting front row with the face

    Evgeny Gradovich beating Dib was another. I love when obscure guys or little known guys, late replacements come over and do a number on a favorite.

    I'll watch anything really.

    I like a good back and forth fight where there are a lot of punches landed and a lot of blood, and then a brutal KO to cap it off.

    I guess every fighter could get criticized for doing it even with the best of reasons like Lewis who cleared up the old champs and beat the young undefeated ones and still get accused of ducking Vitlali after beating him.

    Ottke was the biggest ducker, fighting in his country, never going to lose on the judges card, referee on his side and the opponent needing a knock out to get a draw.

    I don't like that type of fight, one guy lays back, doing the minimum while the other guy is carrying the fight, most of the time it's part of the fight plan.
    The fights I like are when two boxer/punchers get together, plenty of action, fast combos, fighting inside and outside, traps, sudden KDs, fighters getting up and returning the favor. I've seen this kind of fight many times when I hate to see either guy lose.
    The fights I dislike most are when two light handed boxers get together where each round seems to blend into the previous one, where there is nothing to distinguish one round from another.
    Normally I like to see the younger guys win, if they don't win that's OK but I'm on they're side.
    Watching someone run out of gas due to a lack of training also pisses me off but we see less and less of this. Better training I think.
    Seeing any fighter taking a total beat down is a real turn off for me.

    Tyson v Holyfield 1 is another example.

    I just love to see skills.
    Real artistic stuff.

    Then again, Nigel benn vs gerald mcclellan was one of the most thrilling fights I have ever seen.

    I love fights where a guy that everyone assumes they have pegged, somehow overhauls his style of the length of a training camp and leaves everyone in shock.

    Examples:
    - Barreras Performance against hamed. Everyone thought he would come out to brawl and get flattened and he comes in a pitches a shut out and takes a deduction to add insult to injury.

    - Marquez in the last Fight with pac. Training to put on the bulk and land the miracle shot and reaping the benefits.

    - Mayorga beating Forrest the second time by Majority Decision.(Vernon being snake bitten may have helped)
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
