DUMB ASS boxing fans, why boo BCD?

[El Gamo]

BCD V Johnson was a FOTY contender imo,tremendous fight and clash of styles but wtf was up with the fans booing BCD? He tried to box for a few seconds at the end and they booed him at the end and when he was celebrating.WTF? Do they know ANYTHING about boxing? WTF were they watching?

Anyone that thinks that fight was a robbery is insane. Casa v Cruz = robbery. Huerta v Diamond=robbery. This fight was CLOSE. There was no clear cut winner and it could have gone either way.

I agree 100%

I can't see how watching somebody plod forward is more exciting that watching somebody skillfully box on the backfoot. Some of Dawson's combinations were beautiful.

I had Chad by one round as it happens. I always felt that if it was close Chad would get it anyway but that's not Chad's fault. Maybe the crowd boo'ed because the judges had it 8 rounds to 4.

I think general boxing fans just want to see a tear up rather than an exhibition of skill, and Dawson was the one who was avoiding the tear-up......which imo was a very smart thing to do.

Good post, some rep coming your way mate.

They are what you call armchair fans El Gamo who don't really know much about the sport, and can't appreciate the sweet science. They expect boxers to stand there just slugging away for entire 36 minutes of the fight, if i was in Dawson's shoes it wouldn't bother me one bit, because the crowd are not the ones Dawson fighting against, and there not feeling what Dawson is feeling so they can stick it where the sun don't shine. If they can't appreciate the sweet science of boxing maybe they should go watch gypsy bare knuckle fighting that might be more at there pace.

nothing compared to booing Erik Morales at the end of the 8th or 9th round of the first Pac fight. Erik Morales

They're fight fans, not boxing fans, and they were booing becase he wasn't fighting. Long before that point I was wanting him to get knocked out too.

It was a great fight, watching glen johnson continue to pressure throughout and dawsons great footwork and ability to get himself out of trouble when gettin hurt etc...there were a lot of great things about this fight. The only thing that i can think of is that they were eager to see dawson brawl more in hopes johnson the home town guy (sorta) would win. I don't think any tarver fan who's people were mainy in attendance want to see him have to fight dawson, cause the chances of him beating dawson are pretty slim.

Agreed Mar, I think it was the dumb ass Tarver fans (who knew?) that booed him.

I thought it was a GREAT fight, and I agree a FOTY contender and I thought the booing was ridiculous much the same. Those fans in St. Petes should learn from the fans in Germany for the Sylvester fight, those were great fans. Definitely left me wanting to see more from both fighters.
