Is This the Worst It's Ever Been for Boxing?

[Lords Gym]

I can't stand MMA, K-1, Pride or any of that bullcrap...

I don't know if it's bullcrap, but I don't like watching it either. There is something less compelling about those fights, almost boring. Calvin Brock Vs. Ibragimov type boring. It also seems that their skills are very sloppy and unhoned.

Of course, I have a huge collection of 70's and 80's kung fu flicks so what do I know...

I feel the same way, I am a martial arts fan also, but like you said the K1 stuff for the most part seems sloppy, and fairly boring to watch . To each his own I guess.
