Seems to be a weekly thing with the overwhelming urge to jump in and correct people all the time.
Whether you like it or not online spats and people challenging you creates interest… in
The old days it was called “rucking” and it made places like boxrec popular
Yeah, but when a person states that they try to avoid it, yet every week instigate it, and then carry on with the back and forth after stating they're going to simply walk away, it's a bit weird and daft.

If you're unsure of what i'm referring to then read the thread 👍🏻

No longer a sport. Its a wwe style nonsense and ability is based on hyping a fight rather than true boxing ability

That wasn't personal, it was an observation based on several posts.
Now stop bleating.

It's the lack of coverage on acessible TV and the wrong fights getting all the hype.

Matchroom going to DAZN was probably the worst thing that could have happened in terms of the sport in the UK. Loads of people have Sky Sports subscriptions for the football, it's a big audience and something as good as Wood Vs Warrington is hidden away I on a thing I have to pay loads of money to watch on an Xbox!

Meanwhile, the influencer boxers get huge ratings for absolutely abysmal contests.

Obviously, the big fights that people want are years in the making, and sometimes happen too late or not at all, but I think that has been the case for 30 years now. I'm glad we saw Crawford vd Spence in the end but it should have been pre-Covid.

Now, now Spud.

Remember, it's just a bit of fun.

BTW, how come you and Rhino never seem to engage in any banter in here these days? You used to be big pals, ex-forces etc, double act on the forums. Attending fights together. Now you never seem to interact. Bit of old-style 'rucking' that went wrong Spud?
