How many fans...

The disrespect for this sport on this forum shows the people who either have never even had a fist fight or were brutally beaten in their lives by someone of a different race.

Very true Larry

Thought I had a good understanding of boxing till I spared for the first time and realized there is so many things that go into this physically and mentally that people can't possibly understand till you do it first hand. The ignorant stuff you see here shows most of the people never walked into a gym

Great insight, I realised the toughness of boxing in my teens as an amatuer during a gym show with a club from London that came to the gym I was doing well and then I got complacent and hurt for the first time when I got dropped by a punch I didn't see to the solar plexus I knelt down on one knee couldn't breath in or out or that's how it felt and I panicked. Made me realise my weak spots and how to deal with the same sensation if it happens again

You summed it up pretty good. I learned that lesson about 20 years ago, been addicted to the sport ever since. Easy to spot fans that have never been in the ring before by the disrespect they show toward professional fighters...

The buzz of fighting is addictive the lack of pain at the time and sense of power i think in society we are often battered down by life experience bills work family commitments all of that doesn't matter in the ring its just the person infront of you that's on your mind nothing else I found it to be a great escape from the monotony of my day to day life at the time
