I like baseball for the same reason,I appreciate the strategy of the pitcher vs the hitter.
In boxing its rarely about just being able to whomp the other guy,youve got to outhink him as well.
A Chess game..thats a godoway to put it
I also think that its not juzz fightin its all technical studyin the other guy puttin a plan together and then executing it.
It really proves who is the better man on that night.
Its a good feeling.
I was kind of thinking along these lines
I'll use one of my own fighters as an example,my wife no less.
Against Cheryl,she was the obvious better physical specimen(no offense Cheryl,you know F.I.S.T. loves you)but she got cocky in there against Cheryl and stopped looking at the board the chess pieces were on,and Cheryl made her pay for it.
Boxing is one of the sports where it isnt enough to be the better physical specimen,youve also got to out think them as well
