No more running fights
It must be so. Focus on the Riyadh season cards on action fighters who fight and are willing to mix it. To rebuild the sport, it is very important to focus the sport. The boring fighters must be phased out by not being used in maps. It is the easiest way for Turki to change the sport.
Runners make fans not want to look at box because it’s hard to look at, and people have better things to do with their lives than to be subjected to that style.
Outdated styles should go
With the tough competition that has box with other sports, the internet and films, fighters fighting the outdated hit-and-not-hit style, not in this era. There is too much competition now. Safety first movers cannot be used on cards because it is poison, causing people to avoid watching.
The Times Square event received widespread criticism last month for the boring performances posted by Devin Haney and Theofimo Lopez. Both constantly moved and refused to stand their land against the opposition that they were elected to beat. The next night, William Scull used a lot of movement in his fight against Canelo Alvarez on May 3. That fight was incredibly boring ..
Turki’s map next month on July 12, Shakur Stevenson, who is fighting William Zepeda at the co-function at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York. Tickets for the event have not sold so far, and some fans believe that Shakur is one of the reasons for it. He has a dull fighting style that has led him to struggle in some of his recent fights.
The Grandpa Clause -ideee
It is a given that Stevenson will run from Zepeda all night, because he does not stand a chance to hit him when he stands on his land. Zepeda is too strong and tosses too much for a light hitter like Shakur. It’s too late for Turki to kick Shakur off the map, and he is unable to change without destroying his career.
If Turki is going to continue Using fighters like Shakur and Haney for their careers, he would need a special Grandpa clausesimilar to the one In Major League Baseball. When the spit ball was banned in 1920, a grandfather clause is to the Spitball pitchers who used that pitch during their careers.
They may continue to use the pitch through the rest of their careers. So there were a handful of spit ball pitchers released from the new rule. Therefore, if Turki wants to continue to use the runners, Haney, Shakur and Theofimo in his Riyadh season events, he can release them from the new rule using the grandfather’s clause. The new ‘No runners allowed’ Rule would only apply to other fighters selected for the Riyadh season meetings.
However, it would also be better to wipe the three if they could not change their fighting styles to become more entertaining. Till recently, theofimo was an action fighter. He was converted into Shakur 2.0.
From this point, I no longer want to see Tom and Jerry Boxing matches where one fighter runs around the ring and the other chases him. We can support this kind of fighting longer with the Riyadh season and the ring. We want to support fighters who leave it all …
