Sometimes you can see how these guys know what punch is coming next and where. like a good hitter knowing the changeup is on the way. I like seeing the brawlers and the boxers. I know Manny gets a lot of flack here but I think he was the closest thing to the complete package to come around as of late. When I went to see Macklin v GGG I was amazed at how the fans hung on everything done in the ring. it is a bit sad that so few people I know enjoy the sport. I invite people over to watch fights sometimes but you can see the half interest they have. I guess that is about all I can put into words.





I usually think even the most "boring" fights are exciting. I think your average person just doesnt understand the true skill that is going on in the ring. So when fighters arent pounding each other in the face they dont understand whats going on and lose interest.

And as for myself, I watch every fight closely because there is always things you can learn. And your average person definately isnt watching to learn.
