Rivalries

Nothing can beat the excitement and passion boxing brings to a rivalry. Intense rivalries are one of the things that make boxing special and worth watching and Public Safety Boxing has had some good ones. When rivals square off, records don’t matter, fighters they lost to or beat in the past is irrelevant. Rematches and trilogies are like a championship fight. You can be confident that each fighter is going to bring their best effort, and leave everything they have in the ring. In some cases a rematch provides action and drama equal to or surpassing the original encounter. Some have resulted in the same outcome and some have fallen short of expectations.
