Is Boxing Dying?

All Filipino boxing fans will probably not allow that to happen soon. Nonito Donaire just defended his title via a unanimous decision lately. We have a gold contender in the Olympics soon and we have a lot of younger fighters in different training camps in the North, Central and Southern Philippines getting ready to strut their stuff anytime in any part of the world! So long live boxing! :)

Boxing is very much alive! Too bad that our very own Brian Viloria lost his titles via decision to Juan Francisco Estrada at Macau. On a positive note, 3 Pinoy fighters won their respective matches including a very exciting knockout by Dodie Boy Penalosa, Jr. over a Thai boxer. His record is now 11 - 0 with all wins coming by way of knockouts.

Pakiramdam ko nanlalamig na ang boksing dito sa Pinas after matalo ng sunod sunod sunod ng mga Filipino boxers natin... before si Pacquiao pinag aagawan labanan kasi nothing to lose but everything to gain ang mga kalaban pero ngayon si pacquiao halos sambahin na ang mga tumalo sa kanya para labanan sya uli kaso ayaw na nila..kasi pakiramdam ng mga promoters wala silang kikitain lalo na sa ppv if si pacquiao ang kakalabanin after ng matulog vs. juanma.. besides hindi na sa USA gaganapin kundi sa Asia na kasi baka langawin na ang laban.

 

 

In my own point of view naghahari ang mga counter punchers ngayon kundi ka susuntok hindi rin sila susuntok.. ayaw ng mga tao ng ganyang laban gusto nila ang aksyon! bugbugan, mga sluggers yung mga tipong makikipagbakbakan talaga at matapang...then makaka panalo ng KO.

 

Pana panahon din.. kaya parang mas pinanunuod ng mga madlang people ang UFC or mga mixed martial arts..duguan at balian ang labanan not unless mag tap out ka.

 

latest casualty on boxing: rey boom boom bautista, pinag retiro na nga ALA productions.. tsk tsk tsk...

No it will not die. It will be always around. Kickboxing has also been around for quite sometime but it didn't k*ll boxing.

 

However, I wont be surprised if one day it wont be as lucrative as it is, especially after what happened in what many considered as the "Fraud of the Century". I wont be surprised if MMA will be more lucrative as it is finding more popularity in mainstream.

 

There is still hope for Boxing to stay at the top of the food chain though. Thankfully, right after the disappointing Mayweather Pacquiao, we were treated with Canelo Vs Kirkland, Then Golovkin vs Monroe.

 

The Sport needs to remove its focus on Mayweather Pacquiao and build new stars like those above. Its time for the sport to have a new hero and a new villain
