Answering a Question: Why Boxing?
16 years ago
I was asked this question from one of my friends who saw my clean and adult work of boxing. He asked, "why boxing though? why can't you do like wrestling or mma?"
Now I do have to say, it is a very good question, MMA, Wrestling and others are indeed fun to draw just like boxing...but the reason why I like boxing more then anything else, is because it's a dying sport. Have you noticed that from all the combat sports on TV, boxing and kickboxing are the least shown? People forget how good boxing really is, in fact, in my eyes, boxing is more interesting then MMA. Because the contenders are restricted of just using their hands, plus I see more straegty in boxing then anything else. And one last thing of boxing, is that the fights are mostly long, which indeed puts on a good show.
That is why I like boxing, and that is why...I draw boxing so much.

However, you cant blame others for finding some joy or interest in the various different fighting arts out there. Just seeing some of the more varied stances and fighting styles brought to the UFC ring among others can be a real treat to watch.
Weighing up the risks & negatives in various fighting or full contact sports can hinder or shake whether others wish to attempt the sport.
Honest here I showed someone the Marvin Hagler vs Tommy Hearns fight (The WAR) from the 80's and it was good enough that it peeked their interest in the sport in general and made them start searching out more of it.
