The problem in boxing is that the fans who follow the sport are very passive when it comes to bad fights. Yes they can complain, but thats just it, we cant get anything -- any promise or assurance that the next fight will be thrilling and satisfying one. In MMA, its different, any moment people can see action -- and that keeps MMA alive. In boxing, if one wants to play defense and run along and survive the 12 rounds, he can ruin the entire fight. No action and just pure dancing. We can see this last time on Donaire-Narvaez fight, Clottey-pacman, many others.
Actually I cannot think of anything to solve that. A fighter can come on fight night, just try to survive and get his paycheck. We need fights that matters, compelling fights, the fight that will really tell who's the real deal in boxing. Let Donaire fight Arce, Pacman vs Floyd, Amir vs Bradley, Bute vs Ward, Pirog vs Martinez, Juanma vs Gamboa... Thats it. Stop doing garbage fights! Stop supporting them too. Dont watch the fight the doesnt really bring the real action we all deserve. Just read the news the next day and suit yourself on youtube replays than be fooled by Bob and Golden boy..
