[big grin] Maybe I’m too squeamish to enjoy watching too much of it …
Gotta say – the people who go into boxing as a sport know what they’re getting into with the physical dangers. You have to have respect for people who throw themselves headlong into dangerous situations (fire, cops, servicemen, boxers, paramedics), knowing full well that they could get seriously hurt.
Plus – and I’m writing this last bit just as a news story about a footballer injuring another player came up – boxers do have their code of honour to fight by and they stick by it. They don’t cheat, they don’t quit. It puts them far above certain other sports … (football is a good game to play but it’s let down badly by its players)
