What about the sport of boxing makes you a fan?

The underdog ,I secretly want them to win even if one is fighting against my own countrymen.

I love to watch for what naturally occurs when someone is right in the zone but is doing it hard and is put right on the spot ,the corner is yelling but they can never hear a thing and have to go it alone with soul reaction; You get to see what isn't taught by anyone then. Nose to nose forces us to be faster not in thinking or known combos but in reaction and body placement as more subtle slight things start work if you have the will to stay in the range and find the spaces. Even a turn of a heel around the ball of your foot or a shoulder raised and an elbow stuck out can work magic when its real tight and you need to change the tide around to your favor.

Aha yes,good point Andre.How can I over look The undedogs ( odd question really ) and upsets.There is NOTHING like a last minute sub or a 'Resume Padder' brought in and pulling off the "WTF moment" of the night.Upsets keep the sport vivrant and exciting and when A guy is fighting to pay that months rent,light bill,etc.and pulls off what very few gave him/her a shot a doing over a big contract tied & groomed favorite or a lauded over poster boy star with phat pockets....
