First time I saw a boxing match was when I was 11 years old in Seattle (I'm from Canada) travelling with my select team from Calgary (soccer). Shane Mosley-Mosley was the fight I saw...Shane was throwing lightning-fast combo's and I was just like...WOW!

Originally posted by Pugnacious_Zhey zip, no offence but u were a loser with no friends. has boxing changed anything?
Not to mention that boxing got me in shaped and boosted my self-consiosness (sorry cant spell that :P). ALways been very short and looked like a kid so it huanted me and it was something people made fun of, it really made me sad, but now i a) dont give a crap b) I know that if i really get pissed of I can floor most people easily.
Dont misunderstand, I never fight outside the ring just not me, but i know if I want/have to I can.

- Victim of loneliness/ mild bullying? (fair to say?)
- To gain some confidence
- Meet some new friends/ or just people you can say hi to.
- To lose the image of yourself which people branded you with before, and then to not give a **** what people think of you.

I used to be asked the question myself all the time, especially my grandmother(who hated the idea of me participating in a violent sport)I really don't know what attracted me to boxing, but the fighters I would always pretend to be Sugar Ray Leonard and Ali(because of my dad)the one thing I would always do was re-create that scene in Rocky when both him and Creed get knocked down at the same time and pull themselves backup. What I like about boxing is that in comes in handy if you had to get into a street scrap.
