I'm thankful for sites like this. The fact that there's several boxing forums on the Internet is a sign that at least there still are many boxing fans around the world. I'm happy to see so many members here, and more keep coming all the time.
But boxing gets such a bad rap in other circles, it's a wonder it's been able to survive for so many years. Hopefully, it will survive forever. UFC and all other fighting offshoots are great and all that, but for me, nothing beats a good old fashioned boxing match.
Last night I was wonderfully entertained by an all-out slugfest on Friday Night Fights. It was between two junior welterweights (Patrick Lopez and Fernando Angulo) I'd never heard of before. But man what a fight! These two didn't like each other and it showed. Boy, did they earn their money. It was non-stop action from the opening bell throughout the entire 10 rounds.
This is what boxing needs, to attract even more fans. I've loved boxing for a great many years, and hope the sport continues to flourish for many, many more.
