So let me get this straight. There's constant whining here about "boring" boxers who refuse to take unnecessary punishment and brawl, but when a guy loses focus, chooses not to protect himself, and gets KTFO by a legal punch, it's a travesty?
If you prefer tomato cans to fighters like Rigondeaux and Mayweather, that's fine. But it's hypocritical to complain about the lack of more "exciting" (read: brutal) fights and then cry when a fighter takes advantage of an opponent's mental or physical weakness to score a legal knockout.
You can't have it both ways. If boxing is a fight sport, it's ridiculous to criticize a boxer who chose to fight instead of kiss and hug.
