see you're wrong about that. something can be competitive without being a good, even technical matchup. many many fights in combat sports have been WON by someone who was completely outclassed and outmatched.
we are talking about a combat sport....heart, willpower, chin, etc these are all very real in Boxing and count for something. again, to me this shows a kind of elitist view from the people who are defending this sort of position.
i also think many of the people with this view have never been in a fight of any sort, so they can't understand how much these other factors actually matter. haven't you seen videos of some massive bully getting pwned by some weak nerdy kid in a fight?

LOL really? he starts his article by telling readers of the standard accusation Boxing fans make when they don't agree with someone else's assessment of the fight/sport; that they "don't know a thing about boxing..."
...then proceeds to tell us how anybody who thought that was a real fight, doesn't know anything about boxing.
First of all, his entire premise is completely bogus. A fight(in any combat sport) does NOT have to be some exquisite, technical clinic of the highest order between two equally skilled virtuosos just to be considered a good fight. In fact, I would argue that sort of thing often ends up with a "boring" match that only appeals to the aficionados of said sport.
Which goes back to his point...he seems to think the only people who could of found that fight compelling were people who "don't know a thing about boxing". I don't think anyone except maybe the dumbest MMA/Conor fanboys thought that was some amazing techinical boxing match and that Conor held his own for 10rnds through his amazing boxing skills. I think pretty much everyone(with a brain) got exactly what they were expecting and STILL enjoyed the fight.
Average fans watching simply do not care exactly why or how Conor managed to last 10 rounds....the fact is that he DID last 10 and not only that, he managed to make it interesting in the process...against one of the most boring fighters of all time. THAT is a fight!
