isnt the point of boxing

The point of boxing is to pit 2 people in an enclosed space and see who comes out as the superior fighter. The method of winning is only secondary whether it be hitting and not getting hit, or bulldozing them, or others

This is why back then fighters fought a billion rounds, and fought each other many times. Only for safety reasons has it been watered down a bit.

Exactly. The point of boxing is WINNING. And, from the fan's perspective, the more this is done in an exciting, entertaining matter, the better. Personally, my favorite kind of fight is where two guys beat the hell out of each other and one guy is knocked out cold.

 

I think it's hard to find any public spectacle where your soul is more exposed and naked infront of others than in a full contact ring. Whether it's boxing, Muay Thai or MMA your heart, temperament and personality are stripped down for all to see.

Everyone is different and this is highlighted in the differences of how each person chooses to fight.

That’s the beauty of fighting to me.

 

I love violent fights with skills shown.

Ali-Frazier 1 and 3, Corrales-Castillo 1, Barrera-Morales 1, Trinidad-Vargas, Bowe-Holyfield 1-3

 

The most entertaining fights actually come from clash of styles. Two overly aggressive fighters trading or two overly defensive fighters dancing around can be a bit dull especially if someone does not understand all the nuances of the sport.

 

To punch and not get hit is for a *****.

 

The point is to win, some boxers are willing to go through hell to do it some will not!

 

Disillusioning, as it is, ask any pro: The point of professional boxing is to make as much money as you can 'n to get out before your brains are scrambled.

 

I'd much rather watch a strategic chess match or some non-skilled
clubber get outsped by a fleetfooted combination puncher. I've got the utmost respect for the barbarian aspect of the sport but I prefer the "pugilist specialists"

 

Good grammar is important, hard for people to take you seriously if you type like a total ******. I tend to make a lot of mistakes too, but it's because I'm not a native english speaker and didn't take classes either. If you know how to write properly yet you don't do it, then you're just a lazy twat who likes to wallow in mediocrity.

 

the point of boxing is to WIN. dont matter how u do it

 

If the other guy can't hit you, it means you were fighting a guy not your equal.

 

Because the fat slobs are eating potato chips while watching on the couch. They aren't the ones getting hit. These brainless fans only want to see knockouts.

 

******ed post. there have been plenty of action fight where a great deal of skill was utilized. atsch

Watch Toney vs. Jirov or DLH vs. Mosely 1.
