No More Running Fights

It should be this way. Focus the Riyadh Season Cards on Action Fighters That Come to Fight and Are Willing To Mix It Up. To rebuild the sport, focusing on entertaining the fans is crucial. The Boring Fighters SHOULD BE Phased Out by Not Being used in cards. That’s the Easst Way for Turki to Change the Sport.

Runners make fans not want to watch boxing becaus it’s difficult to watch, and people have better Things to do with their live to be subjected to that style.

Outdated styles must go

With the Stiff Competition That Boxing has with other sports, the internet, and movies, fighters who use the outdated 1990s hit-and-net-stin-to-hit in this era. There’s Too Much Competition Now. SAFETY-FIRST MOVERS can’t be used on cards because they are poison, causing people to have watching.

The Times Square Event Last Month Received Widespread Criticism for the Boring Performances Put in by Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez. Both Moved continuously and refused to stand their group against opposition that they were favorored to beat. The Next Night, William Scull uses a lot of Movement in His Fight Against Canelo Alvarez on May 3rd. That Fight was unbelievublic boring.

Turki’s Card Next Month On July 12th has shakur Stevenson Fighting William Zepeda in the co-feature Slot at the Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York. TICKETS FOR THAT EVENT HAVE NOT BEEN SELLING THUS FAR, AND SOE Fans Believe that shakur is one of the reasons for that. He has a dull Fighting style that has led to him being booed in some of his recent fights.

The Grandfather Clause Idea

It’s a given that stevenson is Going to Run All Night from Zepeda, because he doesn’t stand a chance of beating him if he stands his group. Zepeda is too strong and throws too many punches for a light-hitter like shakur. It’s too for turki to kick shakur off the card, and he’s incapable of change without it ruining his career, such as it is.

If Turki is Going To Continue Using fighters like shakur and haney for their careers, he would need a special large clausesimilar to the one In Major League Baseball. When the Spitball was banned in 1920, a grandfather clause was given to the Spitball pitchers Who had used that pitch through through their careers.

They were allowed to continue using that pitch through the reminder of their careers. So there was a handful of spitball pitchers who we exempt from the new rule. Therefore, if turki wishes to continue using the runners, haney, shakur, and teofimo in his riyadh season events, he can exempt from the new rule by utilizing the greatfather clause. The New ‘No runners Allowed’ Rule WOULD ONLY APPLY TO OTHER FIGHTERS SELECTED FOR THE RIYADH SEASON EVENTS.

However, it would beter to simply sweep those Three out, too, if they can change their fighting styles to become More Entertaining. Teofimo used to be an action fighter unit Recently. He’s been transformed into shakur 2.0.

From this point on, i don want to see any more tom and jerry-type boxing matches where one fighter is running the ring and the other is chasing him. We can long support these kind of fights with riyadh season and the ring. We want to support fighters who leave it all…
