Thats why Steve Irwin jokes don't bother me, most of them are quite genius. No emotional connection, no problem

[_the_answer_]

well his opponent must have been 5 lbs overweight!
nah seriously, it happens everywhere
its just that unfortunate things happen once in a while
its better for kids to fight each other with gloves
than with knives and guns

For some reason when I saw the title of this thread the first thing that came to my mind was baller27, don't ask me why

It's funny til it happens to a family member or friend.....Don't think it can't....there is funny and then there is outright tasteless

[DaxxKahn]

Reasons like this I often mention in articles about boxers and the after effects they suffer from long years of ring wars....If guys like Taylor, Herans, McClullen, Norris can suffer i'll effects from boxing( and thses guys were regularly seen by some of the worlds best doctors)...There is no reason to think that it can't happen to the average guy.....Pro wrestling has a big problem with these so called underground type events....

See what a bad press the sport gets. This was not a boxing match, it was just fighting. Problem is there is no good headline saying "16 year old killed in fight" because it happens all the time.

If everyone who committed suicide by jumping off things coud be linked to, say springboard diving (maybe they were practicing their triple-axels), would everyone want to ban diving??

Anyway, one less shellsuit-wearing idiot (especially one who can't even fight properly) is probably helping the gene pool.

I am with raleights on this. It happens you just deal with it and move on. It is worse when someone gets stuck on it and cant move forward thats when problems start.

Neither of you sound tough, you sound like idiots. I don't think you realize how offensive the shit your saying is.

Im not trying to sound tough. To clarify this was the part I was agreeing with.

I have had several people die that were close to me. This happens to be my coping mechanism. I believe that you cant get caught up in the why and just know that they are in a better place for a reason.

Uh, no he doesn't.

I sound like an insensitive little prick don't I

Maybe I should change my way of thinking, realistically if I keep going down this path I'll be as popular as a stingray in an Australian zoo

or a pork chop in an Al-Quaeda training camp.

most underground boxers dont get hurt because they arent in good enough shape to fight long enough to get hurt or hurt anyone else
