    I know it's easy to get excited immediately after a big fight, especially an upset, but it's not too hard to contain yourself for just the title and then go off in like an excited crazy person in the actual thread.

    I'm a little confused about this whole "spoiler" thing, once a fight is being shown live (whether or not you are able to see it) it's fair game and usually being watched around the world. Therefore, you should be able to post whatever you want about it, if someone is unable see the fight and/or doesn't want to know the results, then either don't read posts/threads about the fight, or stay off the forum? "Spoilers" seem to be divisive, and a source of dissension for the members here, that's my 2 cents.
    The thing is that there could be many reasons why someone missed a fight. And if they do, they generally logged in to find a download link. But guess what with a title like "Lopez knocked out in 7th," or "Victor Ortiz is Amazing," blazed across the boards it's going to be hard to miss, when one is scrolling down towards the download section.

    It's called common courtesy. It might be fair game, but you're going to piss off people.

    I can see that, it's OK to discuss the fights in a fight thread, but don't post a thread with a title that makes it obvious who won or gives the result away.

    Thanks for clarifying, i'm certainly not here to piss anyone off.
