If anything it's the one contact sport which encourages limiting violence so as to sustain energy. Aggressive boxers tire themselves out and will get knocked down when they get angry and fail to concentrate.

My only problem with boxing is the way that it's become a glitzy cash machine. The sport at the centre of it is still very sound however.
