I am surprised that no one has started this thread yet.

I know this is an MMA website but I bet that there are some Boxing Fans out there.

I just love the sport of fighting in general and I have been raised by boxing.

So in this Thread we can discuss the "Sweet Science"

such as
Past Fights
Upcoming Events
Favorite Fighters
and Historical Figures in the Sport


Because like MMA in the US, Boxing started out illegal. But where it took MMA less than 25 years to gain the General populations approval, It took boxing over 100 years.

Discuss and have fun.

Sad news.

Hope for Israel to have a speedy recovery.
A shame for it to end like this.

Gennady Golovkin/Kell Brook and Roman Gonzalez/Carlos Cuadras are both good matches happening tonight. Should be fun!

Kell Brook looked fantastic in round 2, after a competitive first round. Shaping up to be a good fight!

Wow. Brook's corner threw the towel. Can't believe it.

I think Brook gave GGG some of his best shots and it got GGG's respect but it wasn't going to do any more than that.

I know that UFC is on tonight, but let us remember that in the boxing world. Today is the last ever fight of the legend that is Bernard Hopkins.

Here is a post that someone made just to put this into perspective for people who may not fully follow Boxing.

Just curious, but how did you guys score the Hopkins fight before the ending? 



Cause from what I have seen, it seemed that Smith was up, but Hopkins was in it for a fight with some clean hard counters. But those are from what I have seen. so I am just wondering.

I grew up in a boxing family so it's something I been around all my life and I love. I then fell in love with MMA in the early 90's when I saw the first UFC1, that **** blew my mind. Since then I watch my MMA religiously with my boxing but I focus on UFC more then anything. I like to follow fighters that implement mostly boxing in their arsenal like Gastelum, Ledet, Miocic, Conor, the Diaz brothers, Masvidal, Duffy, etc. The sweet science in MMA is such a beautiful thing, a perfect element into the mix!

I just saw that Wladimir Klitschko is fighting Anthony Joshua next year. I can't wait to see that.
