Why do you like Boxing?

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Because my pop was a fighter (a very good one at that) and he had me in the gym with him when I was about 2 years old. I've LOVED it since then. Still remember how hot the gym was and the smell of it.

why didnt you take it up, Webb?

I like boxing because it illustrates violence in a poetic manner. I usually prefer a technical fight, but two sluggers who refuse to buckle under each other's power is also great to see.

I love the sport because of the respect shown by most...the dedication it takes...

The skill involved...the athleticism....also the heart and courage....

Its just action packed...with emotion at the same time....

Gets me pumped up

That about sums it up.

Born into it. Love fighting , love punching, love hitting people, love slipping punches, love the violence, love the technique involved.

A slug fest or a technical chess match is both exciting for me

I still ask my dad this question to this day, Mak! But he pushed me to other sports (main reason I played football from about age 6 all the way through college), because he used to always tell me how damaging boxing would be for me in the long run (football is dangerous too!) and he said he didn't want me have the pressure to live up to what he did in his career (mainly as an amateur fighter).
