And what is even more disturbing is that fans are accepting it . Basically anyone who paid for tonight is a mug, and anyone who paid for tonight and is happy with what they got is watching the wrong sport. It's getting more like Wrestling every fucking day.
With the exception of old Ginge and his cross dressing promoter , it's the Brits who are guilty of these joke fights. To be be fair to the Yanks, you've got a genuine 50/50 unification fight tonight between Garcia and Thurman, and it doesn't get half the exposure because they haven't thrown tables at each other!
You have to seriously ask yourself, are you interested in Boxing as a sport, or more interested in the hype that surrounds it?
Only problem is that the result of tonight's match up will be seen as a reason for the mismatches to continue, if Bellew would have been brutally KO'd in the first then maybe people would have said 'I'm getting a wee bit tired of this' but now that Bellew has won it'll always be referred back to as a victory for the little guy and used as a justification for the mismatches.
