Watching Old Fights

[QueensburyRules]

This is a compelling thought to end on. I expect many people feel the same way, but it is hard to explain the "sense" of boxing sometimes, or the sport's "encouragement." Care to elaborate?

Lefty is a master of the school known as "Polish Prognosticater." He will go to his first friend's house and watch the 1 ocklock news where a guy is on the roof and eventually falls...Then go to his next friend's house and tell him to put on the 4 ocklock news, telling his friend as the news play: "See that feller on the roof? Ill bet you a six pack he falls."

LOL. OK now I know what I'm dealing with.

Well, Boxing is more technical than most sports. It's also more physically demanding.

But I'll compare it to Baseball which was my best sport after wrestling. Today, it sucks. I like watching the Pitchers - I think they're as good as they'eve ever been, in some respects. But it feels lke the Home Run Derby. Every game.

but most people show up to games and are on their cell phones. Walking around the concession stands. sleeping. Doing something other than watching the game.

I was like those people with Boxing. I wanted the Kimbo Slice/Toughman Contest/K1 brawls. Overtime, you learn to appreciate the minutia.

Plus, unlike wrestling clips, no cooworkers are going to make ****-erotic comments. LOL. At least they don't see what I do for jujitsu. Sexy Time.

You hang on every word.

Just like you hang on the memories of when the boys were ringing your phone off the hook.

Aren't there dating sites for seniors, grande dame? You can even do dancing class in your electric wheel chairs. I've seen it - the in-laws do it. There's plenty of eligible silver foxes waiting for you to show up.

No wonder you need PEDs!

yeah, it's never the fights fault, it's mine.

I genuinely like that re. older fight, could be a t-shirt slogan or something.

I remember how thrilled i was by the Tua-Ibeabuchi fight. It's less and less impressive to me everytime I watch it. But the sport makes more and more sense to me, which is encouraging.

Hahaha, yeah, getting more knowledgeable really does have it's downsides, doesn't it? Less and less of your your peers will see what you see...and then there's the history repeats phenomenon.

Oh well, C'est la vie. (thanks Queensbury)
