does watching boxing cure your sadness, nerves, depression?

no but heroin does.

good point, i hate to see fights where one of my favourites looses, even if it's a rerun of an old fight, brings back ****ty memories. but i meant like watching a fight where the winnner has his hand raised, and the outcome is just as expected. i feel happy for the fighter just as much as he feels happy for winning. it's a good moment to witness

oh I get you sorry.

Yeah it's awesome to watch old fights. Good living! lol

Yea, it puts me in a good mood and helps me take my mind off ****.

For me threre are two fights that stick out in my mind...

Notable Castillo v. Corrales I and Corrales v. Mayweather...

Let me explain why.

Castillo v. Corrales I for anyone that seen that fight should know right away...because corrales was basically starring down the face of defeat in the 10th round after being knocked down twice in that round...

pay close attention to the look in his eyes during those knockdowns...almost a helpless/dazed look...

but he got up and came back to stop castillo in that very same round; two left hooks got it going for corrales.

Seeing Corrales come back to score a tko of his own after being knocked down twice in that very same round shows his heart. In my opinion its easily one of the top 3 fights of the last 25+ years.

The other one being Mayweather v. Corrales. I know what you're thinking...why that fight? corrales got burried by mayweather and knocked down 5 times during that fight...well because corrales got knocked down 5 times and STILL wanted to fight says a lot about him.

He took (pretty much) a beating; mayweather outclassed him 110%.

What is so great about that fight to me is corrales showed his heart and warrior spirit as he kept coming and coming after every knockdown...and...he was actually angry that his corner stopped the fight after that last knockdown; he believed he could still continue; and you know what; i believe him...

you'd have to put corrales in a coma in the ring for him to stay down for a 10 count. thats the person corrales was and i highly admire him for that.

When im down i watch those two fights; because it provokes those emotions out of me further and when its over i feel a little bit better.

the fact he's passed on makes watching those fights much more depressing...but it works in a good way for me; it makes me feel better knowing someone went out there and passed away but not before leaving his soul in the ring.

corrales put everything he had into his fights and like him as a fighter or not you cant help but repsect him for it.

sorry i got off topic...
