True, no one was killed, and a bit of hyping for a fight is great to raise the profile and add a bit of interest from the general public. But when things go too far and the words 'shocking' and 'disgraceful' are bandied around it just damages the sport. I was an amateur boxer until 2008 with a record I was proud of but to be honest it got to the stage where I was so fed up of defending the sport I loved to people who kept telling me it's full of thugs that I just stopped talking about it. Someone actually said to me at work once "To me it's the same as WWF wrestling", which is probably the most ignorant comment I've ever heard, but when you see people slapping each other at a weigh-in, spitting water at people, mouthing off to a ridiculous degree, refusing to show respect to their peers and brawling like morons in a pub car park, it becomes harder and harder to refute such comments. Boxing coverage in mainstream media is already awful and stuff like this just pushes it further and further from where it should be.
