Why do you love boxing????

[StackMo]

Because of the purity of the sport. Not in terms of business practices (it's not) but because of the rules.

2 fists, above the waist only punches, and 3 minutes rounds. It's the mostly highly evolved form of ring sport in the world. It' a science and yet it is utterly blue collar and always will be. The most refined and simultaneous raw atheltic endeavor one can do with two fists alone.

Because it takes everything, determination, heart, skill, courage, and toughness. Its a sport that pushes you to the limit, keeps you in shape and is a part of human history going back to the ancient olympics.

i agree almost 100%.....
i think that is a sport that pushes to over the limit, and to be able to surpass your own self is amazing.

I agree with everything u said, I think another thing is "Honor" one of the biggest reason's I will always prefer Boxing to MMA is, U dont sit on top of a helpless guy who's on his stomach raining down punches to the back of the head in boxing. Its a Gentlemens sport, the class of combat sports.
