Khabib v McGregor, And literally every other UFC fight! Even the female division… Obv not boxing but I think that says something about the state of boxing right now.
I thought he might have meant a heavyweight fight…. but even so, I think UFC is awful.

Of course, as is everyone else. Seems I am in the minority here and many of you thought it was a good fight.
Yeah I cant help but compare it with UFC, it is fighting at the end of the day and the lines between the 2 have recently become more blurred than ever.
IMO its just not as exiciting to watch as UFC or even old tyson fights where you know when the bell rings his only game plan is to try and kill his opponent. Hes not thinking about scoring or how many rounds hes won, to me, thats exciting to watch.

I find this surprising given that you are a boxing fan, any particular reason?

Watch the Hooker Felder fight from the weekend and it might change your mind.
The 15 minutes of hugging happens very rarely now as the refs are told to stand them up if it’s getting dull.
I’m not the biggest boxing fan and thought the Fury fight and the skills on show were average. And I say that as in, is 30 odd percent shots landed good in boxing? I don’t know. Plus doing it at 19 stone is never guna be elegant I get that.

Lol honestly this doesn't happen very often at all. Watch some of Jon jones fights, idesayana, nate diaz, and even the older fights with chuck lidell, rich franklin, jose aldo. They are definitely more exciting to watch than any boxing I have seen in the last 10 years.
Glad im not the only one that didnt find it to be nail biting! The weight does play a part, but look at the likes of cormier, hes 17 odd stone and he still has that explosiveness, hes still relatively agile and quick.
Kadafi - name a fight in last two years that was better?

Klitch vs Josh was nearly 3 years ago.
Your entitled to your opinion mate but your first answer was comparing it to UFC.

I just don’t find watching two guys lying on top of each other with their groins in their opponents faces for 15 mins very entertaining..
