Have you ever been watching fights with a friend/s, only to have them act bored out of there mind by a fight you thought was very entertaining? If so which ones?
I remember I showed both my brother and my nephew the Lyoto vs Shogun fight, and by the second round my brother was like "this fight is really boring" and my nephew was like "how long does this fight last, it doesn't go all 5 rounds does it?" Even though this fight was a technical masterpiece with two of the best strikers in mma, unless you are more than just a casual fan you probably can't truly appreciate the show these two men put on.
Another time my friend came over and I had Velasquez vs Nogueria on my cpu. He is a casual mma fan so I showed him the nasty ko of Nog and he loved it! Then he said "I heard Bader ko'd somebody I want to see that". So I turned the fight on and a few minutes into the first round he told me to just fast forward it to the ko! Last I tried to show him Stevenson vs Sotiropoulus telling him how it was an awesome fight. But one round in he tired of the grappling and clearly did not care to watch anymore, even though I thought that was a fast paced entertaining fight.
I just think it's ashame some people are like this, and I actually won't watch fights with friends that I know don't like it as much as me because they are there more to hangout than to watch the fights and they complain the whole way through. So I only watch with the people I know really enjoy the show.
