Is Boxing Dying?

I agree that boxing will not die based on the exact reasons that Sir Edmund Dantes pointed out. I think boxing right now is just undergoing a down phase due to a lack of bankable superstars and also due in part to competition with another fight sport with MMA. Heck, even local and regional MMA fighting promotions are on the rise, so that says something about the rise of MMA in the consciousness and interest of the public, and it is having a somewhat negative effect on boxing as a result.

Some guy name Kell Brook will be fighting GGG over the weekend. Writers say he is going to be Gennady's toughest test to date. If GGG gets the W, hopefully he gets to fight either Canelo or Ward. Hopefully he does not go down the Vladimir Klitchsko path where top fighters avoid him because he got too damn good. Sana ipalabas ng mga local networks ito kahit replay lang.

While Kell Brook is a top fighter, he is coming in to the fight by going up two weight classes above his current one. So, it might be a little competitive but all the advantages are still with GGG. But who knows, maybe Brook can score an upset, which would probably catapult him to superstardom in boxing.

Actually I'm seeing this guy go down the Klitchko path...

 

Damn, why you gotta break my heart? I have high hopes for GGG hahaha.

That, good sir, is the reason why I love boxing. People are easy to write off anyone but nobody knows what is really going to happen until both guys fight it out. Remember that nobody gave Pac a chance against Barrera then lo and behold, Barrera had the beating of a lifetime. Personally, I don't care who wins. If we get a good fight out of these two then the fans (actually the promoters) are the real winners. Cheers, to a great weekend of fighting.

The fight did not disappoint! Damn there were a lot fireworks in the ring! Boxing needs a lot more fights like that. Top fighters should fight other top fighters!

I must admit, I find the upcoming fight of Pacquiao interesting, just because it has a Donaire undercard haha

 

It's Manny after all. I just wish he had Nonito in one of his previous cards or any of the other Pinoy fighter for that matter. In one of my drunken tirades I actually thought he really did not want any Filipino to fight in his undercards because he was afraid someone will surpass him. That was just the beer talking.

 

 

In more recent news, Canelo beat Smith in convincing fashion. I can tell from experience that being hit by a left hook to the body is no fun.
