Boxing is boring and heres why

I really only watch the big fights but after watching the AJ fight it has confirmed my feelings towards boxing.

It’s boring, when you actually calculate how many good hits there are in an average boxing match the numbers are generally low regardless of who is fighting.

Most of the actual shots are so quick and awkward that you only see them in the slow motion replay. Also more and more boxers are now adopting the Mayweather style of running and hugging.. very boring overall to watch IMO and I am really not going to invest time into it, I much prefer UFC.

Wrestling is ten times more entertaining

AJ is a boring fighter. He trained like a monk and fought a very tactical safe way. He's like another kiltscho really.

Don't worry AJ and Eddie Hearn will duck Tyson Fury and Wilder for as long as they can but he will surely have to fight them at some point. Tyson and Wilder 2 is going to be a great fight to watch. And watching AJ agaisnt Fury and Wilder with nowhere to tactically run to will be fun too.
AJ is an average boxer, so he does not really examplify what entertaining boxing really is.

Thats the thing with boxing if u have never fought in a ring or have laced a pair of gloves on and gone to the gym theres no way u could appreciate the AJ fight on saturday. for someone that does boxing that fight was a bloody masterclass and for the critique on mayweathers run and hugging style thats very disrespectful and like i said before once u step into the gym and then re watch some of mayweathers fight you would call him a genius. the so called running and hugging style which in fact is an immaculate impregnable defence is much harder to pull of than the slug fest u see in mma. but hey everyone is entitled to thier own opinion and i see why u call boxing boring u have never boxed and therfore cannot appreciate the subtle defensive actions and chess like moves that high level boxing portrays. if u wanna see a slug fest theres plenty of pubs around but if u wanna see a game of tactical brillance where opponents masterfully throw each and every shot then boxing is the one.and for the fact that is boring did u not see the first the aj ruiz fight, it had every bit of drama excitement and a shocking ending that turned the world of sports upside down. my suggestion to u is to try out boxing for yourself and then watch the same fights that are so called boring

I’m speaking on general level, you do know there are more boxers out there beside AJ, Ruiz, Tyson F and Wilder? MMA doesn’t need to have a big name fighting to be entertaining.
I prefer watching wilder.
He is fun to watch.
