Boxing....I simply don't get it.

I've just watched a bout which Shannon Briggs won in the first round, this was part of the build up to the David Haye fight.

Briggs was massive compared to his opponent who was knocked down several times before requiring medical attention.

Why have such a mis-match? And I thought the boxers were banded to weight limits?

On the rare occasions I've watched boxing this happens a lot. What is the spectacle in that?
