How can people support boxing?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
Boxing is no barbaric cage fight where 2 dudes start throwing fists in hopes to knock the person out. Boxing is a sport, it takes determination, hard work, speed, and skill. 2 athletes go at each other with their knowledge of the sport. In amateur boxing the goal is to score points not knock out opponents. If "destruction" to the human body is terrible, then we should probably stop all contact sports like football, wrestling, martial arts, etc. The human body is a wonderful machine, boxing takes the human body and pushes it to its limit with fast reflexes, timing, and fast decisions.

Listen man/woman, people who watch and practice boxing are those who love it, weather for the violence or pure boxing (hit without being hit). Why do you care if it's not your body? Most pro boxers come from super poor families, bad neighborhoods, etc. Their escape out of poverty is the sport. Admire it for what it is and not for what it's believed to be.

Most sports involving harsh physical contact harms people.

It pumps people's adrenaline and they like that.

Different people have different views.

I dont its gotten quite boring

It's barbaric. People who enjoy such destruction of the human body should be locked up and the key thrown away. The human body is something beautiful, not something to be destroyed by thugs. Discuss.
