UFC is gash. A bunch of over-muscled and ridiculously tatooed glass-jawed poseurs "fighting" like pansies. Pish.

I think when you see "boxing done well"...it's amazing.
but, 80% of the time it is a slug fest.

Think of rumble in the Jungle...and most of the "classic fights". it's not about "violence and agression".

As any boxer would tell you, it's about mental strenght, tactics and restraint.

The idea is, to get an opponent down in as little effort as possible.

but, you tar everything with "your brush", so, if you see slugging and bashing, "that's what all boxing is".
fair enough.

I'm in the 'not enjoying boxing' corner, but if people enjoy doing it, as consenting adults that's up to them. Watching it, despite the skill, etc, isn't for me.

However I can find absolutly NO defence for supporting Rangers (unless it's a brain-damaged boxer, of course )

Wouldn't banning boxing be more indicative of an over-protective, interfering society that holds little respect or trust for its subjects? Whatever your perception of the working class is (and the distinctions are there, though the term is getting old), should the sport of the multitude be curtailed by the higher intellectual ambitions of the few? I think we should be wary of restricting long-running traditions that people partake of in their own will, and hark of a basic nature long smoothed over by 'civilisation'. Sport is about the closest us drones get to any sense of our roots!
