The only good thing you can say about styles like Fury's and Mayweather's and that nobody gets hurt.

Needs a controversial heavyweight like Tyson. People love the mouthing off of guys like Trump and Tyson and Don King.

Tyson also hurt the sport when he resorted to biting Holyfield a few times.

I thought it was a good fight, both of the men came to fight.


Not really a robbery, Mr. Arreola was dishing out a lot of clean and effective punches on Kaufmann in the later rounds, Kaufmann had the advantage but failed to close out the fight.


Close fight, just about even, the judges gave it to the fighter with the stronger finish.

Since you were there, I got to accept your word on it. I only saw it on TV, and on TV, at the end of the fight it really looked like Mr. Kaufmann took a bit of beating compared to Arreola.

He's a pleasure to watch for many boxing fans. He's just not fun to watch if you like brawls.

Those two names don't belong in the same sentence together.

A pleasure to watch for me as well. Such accuracy and defense. I enjoy watching his style as much as I enjoy brawlers.

Yes I agree. I think many true boxing fans can appreciated this. Thats why casual brawl/KO fans don't respect him.

It comes down to punching power. Yes he lands more punches than the other guy, yes he usually does more damage, but he doesn't ALWAYS do more damage. That's what confuses people.
