do you ever have days with too much boxing?

Post by jamamb »

just wondering if anyone else has this

sometimes, when theres a really loaded saturday with fights, i basically spend all day glued to the computer or tv, going back and forth between fights with little break, and by the end of the day/early morning i have a big head ache and feel exhausted , like ive accomplished nothing else i wanted to do, and question if it was worth it. especially if theres a sh!t fight or bs result.

maybe i need to record some fights and just watch them next day or two

anyone else get this?

I'm retired. So I really don't have much of a life. So never too much boxing or boxing forums.
It keeps me busy :lol:

I record inconsequential fights- like a lot of those Mouldy Boy ones where you pretty much know who will win, then I watch them over Christmas/January while boxing takes a break. During that time I can watch lesser fights which I may skip over during a busy weekend.
Some of the bigger fights I may watch live, mostly I record all of them so I can skip the dead air. Life's too short waiting half an hour after an early KO for the next one- I drink a lot less too :lol:

It is frustrating when they pack a load of fights into a single weekend yet there are other weekends with no boxing at all.

If promoters gave a crap about fans they would spread them out a bit more, rather than trying to compete with eachother for the same dates.

I watch as much as I can, record what I can't watch at the time, and look at BS at least once a day

I'm the same, I wont complain about too much boxing but whenever I get some downtime I'm either watching the weekends fights or on here, if I haven't caught up with all the action then I cant come on here really so I try and get it watched ASAP, I usually like to get up early sunday and catch up before the rest of house is awake

Yeah, sometimes there are boxing-weekends. And other times I can watch/rewatch old fights all day long.

Only when I try to get home from bar in the night :OhYes:

On more serious note there rarely is too much good boxing. Somehow the big fights tent to clump together and there is huge gaps in between when nothing happens.

Maybe I need to start watching more of the little guys fighting? :box:

Yes - and on a bad night I've lost a small fortune too :evil:
Still the good days of thrilling fights and big wins make up for it :box:

Rarely (my mrs would disagree), a busy weekend full of crap fights can be challenging but otherwise its more the merrier, my mrs does a lot of work at home during the week so can be stuck in her workshop in the attic quite a bit so that's when I watch the older fights that ive never got round to watching before.

The last few weekends have been killer, October 6th and 7th were draining with the 2 Japanese cards and the Thai card on top of the western stuff
Seem to remember 4 successive days of televised / online fights on September too

On Saturday night there’s 3 live shows all being broadcast at the same time in the UK - Sky, Channel 5 and S4C. There’s also an international card being shown a few hours later by Sky.

I reckon that constitutes a day with too much boxing, I’ll have to miss a lot of it as rubbish TalkTalk boxes are limited in how much they can record at once.

There was a time were there was 2 cards in the UK, that I was interested in and then late night, Showtime and HBO went head to head. :brick:

Sometimes in the UK, you have a card on Sky, BN, then Channel 5 pops out and has a show on too. Then you get the odd Friday cards on TV.

This pat Saturday just gone, there was a lot of boxing Imo.

Yeah all time that's great thing about the internet . Just avoid result and watch the fights at your leisure. Though I get behind on boxing by about 3 weeks trying to adovid results

I often think about this on Sundays an wonder if it were possible to have a "Is it worth watching" thread? No spoilers but a simple yes or no or even rate it out of ten and nothing else.The result isnt given away and youre only getting the fights that are worth your time.

I genuinely haven't missed a televised fight in about nearly 15 years including undercards bar the occasional undercard fight, I'm a bit OCD when it comes to boxing so always make sure I catch everything although I don't watch many streamed cards
