Casual boxing fans and even some hardcore boxing fans are a JOKE.

[El Gamo]

Possibly the biggest fight of the year, a fight of the year contender,one of the greatest trilogies ever,and probably the best trilogy most of us will see in our lifetimes and hardly any talk about it. Heck I'm not even sure the tickets have sold out yet. People are so excited and willing to justify gimmick matches(RJJV TITO_) and pointless matches(Oscar v Floyd 2) yet when it comes to HUGE MATCHES like Rafa v Isreal 3, no-one bats an eyelid. Incredible.

The fight is free bro although if your busy,then that's cool.Actually,no,it's not! Let your fighter watch this fight and see how 2 fighters can brawl with skill. These are 2 POUND FOR POUND fighters imo. The feints,technique,power,jab,how to get inside,it's all in this fight.

I'd be interested if the fight was being shown in the UK.

[Bomp]

I thought it was on Setanta?

[El Gamo]

I'm not talking about debating. I just mean genral buzz,people talking about it,threads, who is going to win and how. I see Mick,VD and few others but not just here,fans in general. We had hundreds of Oscar v Floyd 2 and Tito v RJ threads,this will have more excitement than those fights combined.

[Fenster]

Probably the lack of interest is to do with a with a small promotion..and that's because these type of fights are small money compared with the JOnes-Trinidad etc...

..didn't Bilbo (not having a dig at him) when he joined this site say he DIDN'T watch fighters below middleweight or something? Maybe that's true of many hardcore/casual fans

AS ono said this fight isn't being shown in the UK nor were the other 2 yet this type of fight MUST cost peanuts compared with the majority that get bought

[El Gamo]

Wow,not shown in teh UK.I don't even pay attention to what they show here,downloading all the way!

And if people have that atitude of not watching smaller fighters,then they are nuts! And I do recall Bilbo making a comment like that but he's changed his opinion during his time here,heck I think he even watched Calderon v Cazares and though it was awesome!

British TV hasn't bought it, so thats why I haven't discussed it much. We got Roy vs. Tito...but not a one of the TV companies has signed this one up.

[El Gamo]

If that's true BZKFN,British companies are ridiculous. And Rafa v Isreal had more action in 1 round than the whole of the unification match from last weekend. In fact take all the HW fights from the last few years and none of them are as exciting as Rafa v Isreal 1 let alone 2 and whatever we see from 3.

If fans limit themselves to just HW,they are stupid.

I agree with everything you say. But British TV didn't buy the first fight or the second...but you would think that after the previous 2, they'd show some fucking interest. I try not to complain too much because it got to a point a few years ago when we got nothing.

As much as I hate It ,Its nothing New at all.I always think of one of the greatest fighters to live...Ricardo Lopez and how he took a back seat alot of times On off air title defenses and/or as the co feature to the main event .I think Heavys are overstated and "Lower" weights are underrated. As stated prior If they were heavy's or some "Celeb" fight along the lines of Tito-Jones jr. Or DeLaHypa vs. Mayweather 2 or A Tyson comeback Vs. A circus bear It would be different and might have about 10 threads also.Dont believe the hype.
Its Immportant to remember that we the year end and year out fans have a lot of influence as a whole.Keep the names and great over looked (Mass Media)Matches and fighters on the conciousness and In the face of Casual followers and the Shallow media.Marquez And Vasquez have infact generated many memorable rounds and deserve the Attention and respect of all fans and pundits alike.On this Site I have no doubt at all that they have that from us.
