Sitting here watching the Klitschko-Thompson Heavy weight Championship fight...and I am BORED OUT OF MY MIND, don't get me wrong, as a heavy weight fight goes it's I am and always will be a boxing fan, but if this fight was in the UFC people would be booing and the ref would be yelling to pick it up, I love boxing, but as a "older" fight fan who still trains in boxing (which I love) and mma (love more), as a small kid I still remember watching Ali,Frazer, Foreman etc fight. As I sit here and watch this snooze fest, I can't help but think...it's no wonder that mma has become so popular in the last five years. Guess I am just spoiled, I want ACTION.



edit...Klitschko wins by KO

I was looking for my dad but he was no where to be found. He was watching the fight and then i found him outside. The first thing he said was "I stopped watching the fight. It was boring."

He was right...but I had nothing else to do...and I kept hoping it would get better

Thompson is a local hero where I`m from. I`m kinda disappointed hearing the bad news.

He did real good at first...even rocked Klitschko a few times....but by the third rd. he just seemed to give up...it was all down hill fromt there till he went to sleep

Yeah these guys are HW's...and right now the HW division sucks...
There however, plenty of good and entertaining fighters in lighter weight classes...

The HW'S have sucked since Tyson went nuts..he was a amazing fighter for his time and for the people he fought till he went crazy. Nothing like the great ones from generations past...but still imo the last exciting HW....I love some of the lighter weight fighters though. Big Ricky Hatton fan.

Boxing = borefest, why do you think it's being pushed out by MMA.

i wouldn't say hes a local hero here, but everybody knew he was going to lose to klitchko anyways. thompson said he didnt really want to do boxing, and was almost forced into it after his football dreams were over. i think he took the fight to get the 1 mil dollar paycheck.

yeah ur right oldtoby, boxing is being pushed out by mma right now, but later this year and 2009 boxing will be pushing back. the marg-cotto fight, hatton-malig, pacquiao-TBA for lightweight title, Calzaghe-TBA, Pavlik-TBA, pacquiao-hatton (expected to be bigger than floyd-oscar), oscar-TBA. yeah you are right with boxing = borefest in a lot of the fights recently, but the fights comming up this year and next year will hopefully deliver.

Thats it though boxing is a borefest but a few cards a year that excite ppl then boxing fans gotta wait another year before seeing another card that will excite them. Compared to MMA that has practicaly atleast one card a month if not more out of 3-5 cards a month.

you got a point there, there are a lot of people who are not hardcore boxing fans and only watch the big fights, so it really sucks for them.
