standing in the trenches and just trading blows is not boxing. Boxing is the art of hitting and not being hit. Its not about hitting, standing there waiting to be hit and then hitting back. Itrs an art. Those who have never studied it will never understand the damage that is incurred during a fight.
Sure, the common fan likes to see wars. I like to see wars sometimes. But I do understand what will happen to a fighter who just stands in for wars all of the time. Arturo Gatti had to be the most exciting fighter I have seen in the last 10 years, he was a war dog. But now in his older years he has resorted back to the "boxing" skills, with movement and a good shade of defense.
A fighter who ****s all through his career will pay the price. Sure there are those who have come out of all of the carnage with little signs of brain damage, but there are many more who have stepped away many fights too late and the damage is irreversible.
What you guys have to understand is that these boxers are indeed human beings. They sweat, they bleed(and you love it) and they except damage to the mind body and soul.
Boxing is an art. Brawling I guess you could say is an abstract form of the art. So as an artist would you rather paint in a formulated and structured fashion or would you rather your opponent just take your paint and splash it all over the canvas. If my paint is my mind I would choose the structured fight.
Granted, boxing is about fighting. But boxing is not a one page book. YOu have to have defense or you most likely will not survive. You will definately need some offense. You will need conditioning and stamina and you will need balls. God gave each boxer two legs, I dont see a problem in using them.
Maybe instead of yelling at the mover maybe you should rip into the stalker. Tell him to cut the ring, tell him to go in rolling under and to keep moving forward with punches. Maybe you will tell him to throiw caution to the wind and to just get in there and chase him down. If he is unable to do these things then it could only be said that he was purely out boxed. Out boxed, get it?.........................Rockin'
