WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THE GLASS JAW!
Couple of nights ago I saw some boxing matches on versus from an organization called World Series boxing or WSB here's the copy and pasted segment from their official web site.
The WSB is a boxing competition without headguards or vests, with professional-style scoring, three judges and one referee and one supervisor. A WSB match consists of five bouts, with each bout consisting of five rounds of three minutes each. The team with most wins from five bouts wins the match.
There are five weight categories: Bantamweight (54kg), Lightweight (61kg), Middleweight (73kg), Light heavyweight (85kg) and Heavyweight (91+kg).
Each team has a minimum squad of 10 boxers and a maximum of 20 boxers, that is a minimum of two boxers in each weight category. The team is made up of both national boxers and foreign boxers, with at least three foreign boxers required in a squad of ten, up to six in a squad of 20.
The World Series of Boxing is an initiative of AIBA, the International Boxing Association, which is the international governing body for the sport of boxing recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
I really haven't been watching any organized sports for a long time and I especially haven't been watching or following any of the international boxing Association charter pretty much ever since the downfall in boxing popularity ever since mixed martial arts made a big and organizations like UFC.
In this particular branch is very brand-new according to the web site it was established last year. The fights I saw were some of the best boxing matches I have seen in years, with the usual standard rules the introduction of boxing teams is possibly one of the most unique features. All lineups consist of five boxer teams competing against each other there are no individuals there was next to no showboating or theatrics. These boxers go in as teams it's what they're fighting for and as individuals they're nobody.
Because of this the boxers are determined and driven. The fights are almost videogame-ash with gorgeous technical displays and devastating hits. But applying to the international rules and regulations there is none of the barbarism that is usually found in AMA, MMA, UFC etc. etc. true traditional boxing for me has always been about the science and athleticism. Though I'm not naïve, I can talk highbrow all I want but it is a sport that's all about beating your opponent senseless, but at least with the world championship boxing international rule and regulations it kept it separate from two mongoloids hammering on each other like hobos fighting over the world's last bottle of whiskey in their underwear. Plus the gloves the colors the shorts the ring the layout just appeals to me...and the eye of the Tiger the rocky anthem Dolf Lundgren.
