I've boxed in the backyard with uncles and friends. I have learned from people who have been in and around the ring. I have too many anxiety issues to actually particpate in the sport. Also, I knew I would never be good enough to make a go of it and I don't like getting punched in the face for nothing.

When I was in high school I was organizing boxing matches. I got brave once and had two guys who hated each other boxing in the football field during school hours. I denied everything but since it was my 4 gloves they were using I went down.

Even if someone hasn't boxed, they know what it means to be threatened by a bully, or be in a fight.

Boxing is kinda like public speaking with punchs....
