Your views on boxing.

I'm watching the Roy Joan Jr's fight and I have to say he lost a lot [if not all] of his stream.  From his last knock out, he's no where as good as he use to be.

I've always been big into boxing... I love to watch it, but I hate to fight in real life.

What's everyone views on boxing?  Like it?  Hate it?  etc

From the time I posted this to now, Roy Jr. got knocked out... what a bitch!  Olympic fighter my ass...

    Like the sport but don't really follow it, I'm not big into sports but boxing looks like something I would like to do, I like martial arts too so thats probably why 

    nothing quite like a nice fight between gentlemen eh? sure beats real fights

    I've been into karate and judo for a few years.  If there's a kick-boxing match or boxing, I'll watch the martial arts over boxing anyday, but there's never any on.

    It's nice... two people beating the crap out of each other... at the end they hug, say good match and that's it... no "I pwned joo SuCkeR" lol

    I kickbox, as I have brought up a few times. I have gotten medals in over 8 tournaments, including 4 1st place, 3 second place and 5 3rd place. I have had 6 concussions and I am very sensitive to light, so I wear sunglasses indoors sometimes like when I am looking at my monitor. I don't really follow HBO or PPV boxing. It is too hyped up and it does not excite me to watch two overpayed atheletes fight for titles.

    This fight was absolute crap.

    I've never had a concussion, never plan on it.  I've never given anyone the chance to hit me that hard. image

    That doesnt count the 3 or 4 minor concussions I have gotten from football, being a linebacker for 6 years. I just know that this will affect me alot in the future. Another concussion and I will probably not be able to box again.

    A lot!

    Just look at how badly Muhammad Ali got pounded before he couldn't speak anymore.

    Years of punishment.

    Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in a world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.
    Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion.
    Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare.
    Impossible is potential.
    Impossible is temporary.

    IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING.

    i think boxing's cool. i don't like watching sports, but if I come across it, chances are, i'll probably check it out a little. as you said - i like watching it sometimes but i wouldn't want to try it. I'd probably lose horridly and i could do without any extra stress in my life.image

    Another thing I enjoy is watching the WCF ultimate fighting.

    That's pretty neat...

    heh. Man, i know what you mean. I had an eye infection a while back after being stabbed in the eye with a stick. I didn't know it at first but I did think it was kind of wierd that i had to sit around in doors with two pairs of sun glasses on to make the light bearable.

    I am not a big fan of huge boxing.  But bum fight now there is some greta sport!!! just kidding.

    I have trained Kempo and Ishin Ru for a number of years now.  I also study MCMAP martial arts.  (it's required, I am a Marine.  It's a good system, but nothing you could use for self defence.  It all cripple and kill in under a minute, kind of like Karate meets Bar room/prison brawling.  Only one winner and try to make it you.  Good stuff though.  No art involved, just crush, maim, and move along.

    Having said that, I train alolt of fighting but i don't like to do it.  Practice, rough up my buddies, they rough me up it's all fun.  But fighting IMO sucks.  I am getting older now and all these dam injuries keep re surfacing.  Bad knees, back messed up, concussions, not light sensative yet, and trying to avoid it, shoulder out of wack (still go to therapy for that one).  Guess what I am trying to say is:  Fighting is bad mmmmkay?

    If you want a new idea, go read an old book.

    In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.
