KLITSCHKO v POVETKIN - HBO/BOXNATION - Saturday Night CHAT THREAD

[El Kabong]

Refs enforce the rules if its not called or not caught then quit complaining

Thats what they count on Lyle...just pretend it didn't happen everyone. And Hell no boxing fans should never silence there outrage over the BS we sit through on a weekly basis! Sport needs to count itself lucky it still has enough fans who care enough to complain anymore rather than tell it to piss right off and walk away.

Here's the deal, if there were rules being broken and it wasn't getting called then Povetkin should have deliberately fouled Wlad back in retaliation but he didn't.

Can you not divorce yourself from fanboyism for long enough to have a rational discussion about this?

[El Kabong]

That's my view regardless of who is fighting man. Sometimes you get the calls sometimes you don't, thems the break buds

Fair enough, I guess. I still strongly disagree with that perspective, especially in a sport as fundementally broken as boxing.

I'm just tired of all the frustrating things that continue drive me away from boxing and today's fight seems like a glaring example of many of the things wrong with the sport.

I never needed my parents to tell me there was no f'kn Santa Claus to know it was a fairy tale and we sure as shate don't need commentators or shady officials to tell us when infractions, half ass efforts or terrible calls happen in boxing to know it when we see it.
