If you don't know difference between 2 probably drunk, completely untrained men, fighting over nothing at top of Westgate, where there's no medical help, no officials, no one probably agreed to the fight, it just happened etc etc etc, I honestly don't know what to say mate. There's plenty of sports I don't enjoy but I understand they're sports and everyone's different and like a lot of different things, not sure why some people don't understand combat sports.

It's the same as when people say to me, how can I watch a game were huge blokes just constantly seem to run at each other full speed at each other and try to take each others heads off. Like I say to them, if you don't understand the game, the nuances, the skill , the thousands of hours of training and what it actually takes to become the best of the best, I can't help you.


Each to their own Shifty, mate!! Not to say it should be banned or anything. just can't see the point, but there you go.

Never understood why two blokes beating the hell out of each other outside Wakefield bus station on a night in front of their mates gets locked up, but two blokes belting the hell out of each other in front of 10,000 strangers gets a fancy belt and thousands of pounds.

Summats not quite reyt theer!!!! :ASK: :ASK:


That’s a poor argument to say the least, you could say exactly the same about RL, although by your logic RL is worse because it’s an all brawl between 26 big men.

Walk into any boxing gym and see the discipline skill and dedication involved in the sport. Given the increased popularity of boxing training I’m glad the club have got involved in this venture it can only be a good thing. Could have a gym in the new East Stand.

If I’d my time to come again I’d get into it WC, a bloke who worked at Bullcliffe Wood pit when I was a young un was a trainer at White Rose, Lenny was his name, can’t think of his surname, he pestered me to go down but I was heavily into cycle racing. Had a few scuffles in my time and might have won more if I’d took his offer up :roll:

Not a poor argument at all. The object of RL is to score more points than the other team and any "violence" or injury is a consequence or bi-product of achieving this aim. The whole point of boxing is to subject your opponent to the maximum physical damage that you possibly can to achieve your goal.
I'll say no more- promise!

Indeed.
I reckon it's also illegal to throw a javelin in the street or drive a car like they do on formula 1

i understand the points about increasing fitness and self discipline but the whole point of boxing is to attempt to inflict brain damage on your opponent. I just don’t get the attraction. And when I see 10000 spectators literally baying for blood I kind of despair to be honest.

No its not at all, It really is an art form if you took your time to understand it.
