No different to Rugby. If the team knows one of the opposition is key to the success of that team they will often target him with massive hits in the first 20 minutes, trying to remove him from the game. Normally it's done legally (but they're still trying to hurt him) but occasionally it's done illegally like the spear tackle on O'Driscoll in the 2005 Lions tour. It's a contact sport and yes, people do try and hurt each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am convinced that the present climate will change professional boxing, and in the present form it will sooner or later be outlawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkski Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I've always thought the sports were very stupid but they are entertaining to watch sometimes but I say they should be changed. Measure yourself against the robot Defender pretty soon we will have robots that can box just like a man go up Against the Machine and measure your skills without hurting another one if you wish. Play Against the Machine set to kill or stun you choose. If you think martial arts is the only way to save people from a bad life you're screwed up in the head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jany123 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 ???? What amazes me, when reading the thread, is that posters seem to follow the same groupings as when discussing the trump. the thugs who support boxing, support the trump.

Gillyflower Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 When I was a child in Sydney, the police had a boxing club for boys in Newtown (dangerous place). It kept many a lad off the street. I wonder if it still exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 11 hours ago, JonnyF said: Very sad. Saw a few interviews with him in the build up to the fight and he seemed like a genuinely nice guy. As for the sport, boxing does way more good than it does bad. It turns around many troubled individuals and deaths in the ring are fortunately very rare these days. Injury is a part of many sports and death happens in many sports as well. No reason to call the sport of boxing into question IMO. Bring back duelling.

Boxing, cage fighting etc are contact sports where the aim is to render their opponent helpless. They know the risks. I’m quite certain of something, young men might know of the risks, but they certainly do not understand them. 15 hours ago, transam said: It can be a nice earner for some... A very tiny number of boxers make a living out of the sport. And take note, the kids and young men who take up boxing are not the children of the wealthy. In reality, young men with few if any other options in life, taking risks they certainly do not understand with their health and life, in the hope of making a living out of the immensely profitable gambling industry around boxing.
