Do you prefer fights between two fighters you like, or two fighters you dislike?

    When you've got two guys you dislike fighting, then inevitably you get to see someone you dislike lose, and that's good. But another guy you dislike gets another W.

    Sometimes it kind of sucks when you're a fan of two guys and they fight each other, and you get kind of torn on whom you're rooting for. Usually when this happens, I tend to root for one, as I like one a little more than the other.

    Interesting topic. Let's think of an example:

    I like both Cotto AND Mosley and I can't wait for the fight!

    I don't recall the last time two guys i didn't like fought.

    my pick is always when a fighter I like fights a fighter I really dislike, that seems to be when I get really excited for a fight. When two fighters I really like (Cotto/Mosely) fight I get nervous:lol: Almost like I don't know what to do, but then again, I always watch!:blobbox:

    Unless it's a "Money" Fight,REED Rarely Likes Seeing 2 of his Favorites Go @ it...

    The Most Recent Example of this was the Sugar Shane-Ferocious Series...It was Good to See Both Guys Get a MONEY Fight & it was GREAT to See Shane Actually Score a KO again...

    But on the Vargas End,this was his LAST Shot @ Beating an ELITE Fighter & he Ended Up w/2 MORE KO Losses...

    The FINALITY of what Shane-Vargas Represented SADDENED REED,as it Pertains to Nando...

    Definitely prefer seeing two guys I DON'T "like" go at it...

    It's tough for me when two fighters I am a fan of get in the ring together.

    Bouts are best when you are "rooting" for someone (no matter what your official pick was).

    That being said - I'll take a high-quality, competitive, elite fight no matter WHO is fighting!

    Peace.

    Most knew when it was coming up Pavlik-Miranda was going to be an excellent clash of styles, but then there are instances like a fight on Wednesday Night fights where 2 guys are just giving it their all and make an excellent war of a fight without anyone knowing who the participants are. I just like seeing good action fights where the participants make a respectable account of themselves and leave it all in the ring

    Ignoring knowledge and indulging in echolocation.
    I like sex between two of my favourite fighters. But below 140, "midget weights" I get a bit racial, for example, I only like Michael Katsidis because he's white, WHITE POWER, if he ever moved up to 140 then I would be fair, ethical and objective when analysing fights against opponents of different colours and creeds.
