Kirks Championships : Boxing Prediction League : 2018

I kind of like kickboxing or mma. Only the blood sports. But not wrestling, that's too slow and boring. It ruins a lot of mma for me too because it slows down the striking. Kickboxing is pretty good, because strikes are the most exciting, but you have to be more of a generalist like with mma so the striking usually isn't as high quality and specialized as a boxing purist. With muay thai you get the addition of knees, throws, and elbows, but you also get more grappling and they don't throw combos. Savate is alright.

What I really like, and wish they'd do more of is weapon fighting. There was a show called Full Metal Jousting that was awesome. I like watching marksmanship videos with guns, bows, slings, knife or axe throwing. Stick fighting is interesting. Kendo is good. I really like when they do real mixed martial arts and have a stick fighter fight a kendo fighter. Historical European Martial Arts is good. Fun to see people use spears, staffs, wearing armor, etc.

 

These guys are still unparalleled as far as their style of Death Metal is concerned.

Hobbs on the axe and Smith on the drums. Both created two completely new styles of playing.

 

Guys for those who haven't seen it yet, I recommend you have a look at the classic forum, fleaman is doing a weekly section on the top ten BW fighters of all time.

He's probably the best article writer we've ever had on this site. Very articulate and really knows his stuff.

The lower weights don't often get a lot of coverage and usually just geeks like me who've bothered watching fights from yesteryear in that weight class.but it's well worth a read.

Highly recommend it.

 

I didn't play any video games for about seven years, then I decided to treat it like I treat other artforms and made a list of the best ones I hadn't played. Being systematic is so much better than random. I remember when I started being systematic with movies I might have watched 8 1/2, Network, Gone With the Wind, and Sunset Boulevard all in the same week. The year I started playing video games again, it cut badly into my reading and films but I played Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect 2, Resident Evil 4, Batman Arkham City, Half Life 2, Skyrim, Portal 2, Fallout 3, Bioshock, Grand Theft Auto 4, and Assassins Creed 2 that year. It blew away all the gaming I'd done in childhood.

I'll give you props. You know your film, boxing, and music, even if we don't always see eye to eye. When it comes to cycling, I've never watched it so I couldn't gauge how much you know. I'll agree that Westworld was one of the best shows I've ever seen too, but I mostly waited until the seasons were over and binge watched them. The first season was so confusing though I had to watch it twice to understand what was happening.

Time management is my worst skill. I feel like I could live ten lifetimes if I just managed my time better.

 

I go through phases. Combat sports and music are the two most consistent passions in my life though. Although sometimes I binge the hell out of video games and watching movies/shows.

 

I know you'd love the Red Dead Redemption games though man. You're missing out.

Hitting a hooker with a baseball bat filled a part of me that I never knew was empty before then.
