I just think it's the most emotional scientific sport on Earth. There really is nothing greater then two men entering the ring and one man leaving a winner, the other a loser. It's so clear cut, and there are so many was to win or lose, I really can't describe it. I get a bigger rush out watching boxing then I do playing any other sport. I really can't put it into words but boxing is a fascination with me. Seeing a fight on TV or live, seeing the punches being thrown, the abitility to see exactly how things are working and what' going on in the ring. It's awesome.

Also, I think fight fans are the best sports fans on Earth. A fight fan can watch a battle of two heavyweight contenders in 1997, and in 2007 they can tell you exactly what happened in the fight. Who won, how they won, how they looked ect...everything. Ask a football fan in the 10th week of the season how his team performed in week 2, and you're going to get whether they won or "they lost. Ask a fight fan how a fighter looked in a match 2 years ago and you'll hear what really happened.

It's captivating stuff really. Incidentally enough, I don't become as crazed about boxing as I do other sports when watching but I don't invest nearly as much as I do in a big baseball game then I do a big fight. I remember I watched Wright - Taylor with some friends and I really started screaming at the TV. I mean I went insane. I started throwing my hat around, pulling the hair out of my own head I mean I went insane Then when it was over we were walking to the park and I kind of took a deep breath, and then looked at them and I realized why they were laughing throughout the whole fight.

Good thread CC.
