Fights you found unpleasant to watch

[IamInuit]

Liakhovich/Briggs was difficult for other reasons. What was the total punch count 20?

[CFH]

Most recently: Kirland - Angulo. That fight should have been stopped by the end of the 3rd round.

Emmanuel Augustus vs Ray Olivera on ESPN FNF a few years back comes to mind. Not 100% sure if memory is correct but I recall Augustus all but refusing to hit Olivera in the head after a certain point. Hard to watch but at the same time a great display of class by Augustus.....I became a true fan of his that night

in recent memory Ashley Theothane v lenny Daws started to become a bit worrying

[bzkfn]

Derek Chrisora vs. Danny Williams was very sad. Williams should never have been allowed to get in the ring and he shouldn't have a licence now either.

I agree with Gatti-Mayweather. That was a bad beating.

I might've pulled Pavlik out alot earlier against Hopkins.

Holmes-Ali should never have happened.

I also feel quite sad when I see Riddick Bowe on a Klitschko undercard fighting a 4 rounder. He looks like a bear that has been taken away from his family and chained in a circus cage only to be pulled out and have to perform for people.

Cotto vs Margarito I
Seeing Angulo gassed out and getting beat on by Kirkland was a bit difficult especially since I was rooting for Angulo.

All of Devon Alexander's fights are pretty unpleasant to watch as well.

The one's I don't like are the one's where a guy has a great chin and is too tough for his own good and is just taking huge, unanswered punishment (think Tex Cobb vs Holmes or Roy Jones vs Richard Hall) and you know they don't have it in them to win the fight. Then it's no longer a competition, it's just a slaughtering.

Take Jones vs Hall, Hall couldn't touch Jones all night and just kept stumbling forward awkwardly and taking bomb after flush bomb from Jones. Wasn't a contest between two evenly matched fighters, it was just a mugging.

Also like everyone I hate watching fights where guys I like get whipped.

When I first got into boxing the only three names I knew really were Mike Tyson, Oscar De La Hoya and Roy Jones.

Then over the next few years I had to watch them all take brutal losses (Tyson to Lewis and then Danny Williams, Roy to Tarver and Johnson, and Oscar to Bhop). Those fights were all very unpleasant and it was only many years later I could actually watch them and enjoy them for the skill that Lewis, Tarver and Bhop displayed in destroying my favorites.

One man's brutal beating is another man's pleasant satisfaction.

I loved Norris and Macho Man batter Leonard.

I hated seeing :

Gatti v Gomez
Tyson v Lewis
JCC v Oscar II
Honeyghan v Breland

[roberto duran legend]

Holmes/Tyson Duran/Joppy Tyson/Williams Louis/Marciano.

[brocktonblockbust]

felt bad for Foreman when Holyfield landed 36 unanswered shots...........poor old guy---prime George woulda KILLED Evander. He took those shots from a prime Holy with grace and self-respect and held it together. Then almost put Holy down next round with a glancing left hook. Seriously....



also: i dont like watching earnie take this beat down---but Quarry was at his peak so give him props
