I boxed for years, and never missed watching a friday/saturday night fight with my dad on tv. I stopped watching professional boxing when I became a traditional catholic. I have respect for amateur boxing, because it can teach you so much. But, professional boxing is brutal. And, with prize fighting comes the gambling, the corruption, the sɛҳuąƖ exploitation, and the blood. Fighters also occasionally die.
This does not keep me from shadow boxing on a daily basis though, because I do. I love the science and the exercise.
