This fight has the potential to rejuvenate boxing or deal yet another crippling blow to a sport that has taken many throughout the years.

There will not be another stage so grand for boxing to make a good impression for a long time if ever again.

I am in my early 20's and even friends of mine who follow pretty much every sport seem to have little interest in boxing. I only know a hand full of people who follow the sport on a regular basis. This fight is going out to hardcore fans and even those who only have the slightest interest in the sport. The only thing worse then it not making a good impression is if it makes a BAD one.



Oscar and Floyd can't just be fighting for their legacies they need to fight for the sport. Any kind of negative controversy, early stoppage, etc. would probably be one of the last blows boxing could take before just becoming a sport with a "cult" following.


I read the sports section in my newspaper everyday...they cover everything, even small stuff like highschool sports, boating, horse racing...but I never read anything about boxing.


If DLH-PBF is an incredible fight it could give boxing a shot of adrenaline that would last it another decade. The sport NEEDS this too be a great fight.



For the record I am 99.9% confident that it will live up to expectations. But, if it doesn't... then "oh fuck"
