Fights you found unpleasant to watch

[beenKOed]

Now I love toe to toe action and knockouts as much as the next person, but every so often a fight comes up that has me feeling a little off putted by what's going on.

Either because someone is getting beaten up too badly, or the fight is a total mismatch. I think the most I've ever been disturbed by a fight was Vitali Klitschko vs Shannon Briggs. Shannon immediately had no chance and his corner would not pull him out. I was disturbed how Vitali kept on wailing on him even in the later rounds, as was his right but I remember wishing him to just carry Shannon until the end.

I also can't stand to watch Gerry Cooney's knockout of Ken Norton, I swear to god Cooney punched with the force of a speeding motorcycle.

Are there any fights that disturbed you guys and maybe made you question why you watch boxing?

I feel the same way you do, I want to see a fight not a beating.
Corner men who show no empathy for their fighter are low on my list. Watching an overmatched fighter take heavy punches to the head, round after round, when they don't have a chance of winning, being sent back out by his corner men, makes me want to wade into them with a 36oz bat.
There is one other kind of fight that pisses me off almost as much. Two punchless boxers doing the same thing round after round after round. I know these guys are giving it all they have and that should be enough, but I usually can't stay tuned.
