most boring fight you ever seen
stumbled across johnny nelson v carlos de leon whilst sortin thru some old fight tapes and set myself the challenge of trying to rewatch it, unfortunatley the size of the task was too great for a meer mortal such as myself and i retired after 2 rounds ! got me thinking had that been the first fight i had seen rather than benn v watson i would probably have never watched another fight again

The real disappointment there is that we knew he had that amazing 45-degree Kung Fu Death Punch just sitting on ice he couldve unleashed at any moment to spice things up, but didnt.littlepug wrote:a good half dozen eubank fights also probably qualify

Re: most boring fight you ever seen
Have to agree with you, painful to watch, I remember the crowd booing very early on and even the ref asking them to fight !!!littlepug wrote:stumbled across johnny nelson v carlos de leon whilst sortin thru some old fight tapes and set myself the challenge of trying to rewatch it, unfortunatley the size of the task was too great for a meer mortal such as myself and i retired after 2 rounds ! got me thinking had that been the first fight i had seen rather than benn v watson i would probably have never watched another fight again

Page-Tubbs always comes to mind...
Re: most boring fight you ever seen
I have a short documentary about the Nelson fight, it's a pretty entertaining watch.
Re: most boring fight you ever seen
Ali-Inoki x 2
Starling-Ozaki
Breland-Starling 2
Nunn-Barkley.
Andre Ward is a potential world class stinker in the making.....

Mads Larsen - Sven Ottke
Round 1-11 looking the same with both landing 1-2 shots each round
Round 12 Ottke running backwards the entire round, because he knew that he was ahead on the score cards.

Re: most boring fight you ever seen
Nelson - DeLeon, awful! I didn't see either of these but I hear they ran it close: DeLeon vs Jose Burlon and Nelson v James Warring.
Re: most boring fight you ever seen
I saw Hassim Rahman-Monte Barrett live in Chicago .
Had good seats. That didn't make it any better. Cure for insomnia.

Williamson Byrd no doubt. 10 punches a round combined .

Nothing that I've ever seen can touch Nelson - DeLeon, it was unreal for a title fight.

Ive always found Wright-Hopkins a surprisingly enjoyable fight, definitely not as boring as some believe.Goodnight, Irene wrote:There can be only one...
