I cant! Especially domestic fights. I always find a reason to support a fighter, like if you have seen a fighter box before, read an article on him, or met him in person etc....

Yeah, plenty of the undercard fights on Top Rank shows and ESPN Friday Fight Night.

I tend to root for the underdog. Dunno why, I think it's a british thing.

One way or another, I always find a way to root for someone. Sometimes it's down to the one with the worst shorts.

I can & I enjoy just watching rather then scoring I normally get a general sense who I felt won.

I like how the yanks support whoever is dishing out the beating!! As soon as the tables turn they cheer the other fighter I love that appreciation unlike Germans who clap there negative survivors.

Yes. Most of the time, I just want to see a 'good match' and rarely have a favourite.

This is the case for most bouts I watch when there is no sizable favorite. If there is a sizable favorite, I tend to cheer for the underdog unless one of the competitors is among my favorite or least favored boxers.

i can watch a fight and not support any of the boxers involved .. i just hope its a good fight or sometimes i can start to like a fighter as the fight goes on.. but i do prefer watching fight of fighters i like then you can get a bit of roller coaster of emotions... its the same as watching me footy for me ..like watching most footy matches but love it watching the city.. :OhYes:

I love it when an ex good fighter gets pulled in as a scalp against a fighter you would of heavily backed him to beat on his day!

Remember Williams vs McPhilbin for the British Cruiserweight. I really didn't care who won, I just wanted it to end.

I tend to start supporting one of the fighters but it can change a few times over the course of a fight. Maybe that means I'm just supporting good action? Or if I guy gets wobbled but comes back I might start supporting him. I'm fickle I suppose

Occasionally. If I decide I never want to watch either fighter again, I'll stop caring about the outcome and continue to watch in case something dramatic happens.
