Journeymen question

Post by Wales »

what percentage of boxing contests in the UK are actually a competitive contest?
I’m seeing more and more shows where maybe one fight is competitive with the rest being a contest between a novice pro and a guy who’s just coming to lose and not get knocked out.

For example Gerome Warburton fought for a British middleweight title having only beat 2 opponents with winning records.

Belfast next Saturday of the 13 fights only 1 is contested between 2 guys with winning records

Liverpool next Saturday 8 fights 1 contest between guys with winning records

Be good to do the analysis on this. You can feed all the data into an LLM and it’ll analyse it for you

For me personally it ha stopped me going to shows. I was finding the ring walks were more exciting than the fights!

Undercard boxing is just pure garbage. not even worth watching. Usually undefeated prospect against 3-26 record guy who is fighting 2 weights over his natural weight.

Small hall boxing seems dead now. I went to a local wrestling show paid 20 quid was pretty enjoyable for a few hours.
