Ban Ring Walk-Ups

How many here think that the outlandish ring walk-ups that boxers do now complete with raucous musik and fireworks have gone too far and should be banned? This isn't wrasslin' for gosh sakes!

I don't watch, but I voted for the elephants.

Hell, watch this. Complete with an opening video, a full band, laser lights, tens of thousands of cheering Japanese fans. Fireworks are the third most noticeable thing, at best.

So, they have taken the Apollo Creed entrance and made it a reality? I haven't watched boxing since Andrew Gollata was fighting Riddick Bowe.

No, I like the spectacle. I feel like if Rome were still around, gladiator entrances would put even the link above to shame. So, in a way it fits. Regardless, its far away not the reason I don't watch boxing anymore.
