so whos watching it?

[swanaldo]

ricky hatton better watch it

[ady]

im watching it at 9:00am sunday, big boxing fan but not watching it live.

Am I missing the point here? What is the attraction in watching two hopefully sane (although that could be subject to debate) adults beating the living crap out of one another?
I for one would far rather watch two well built robots beating the living crap out of one another. At least (1) there is some skill and practical ability required to build such a machine. Dont get me wrong, Im not saying that these guys have no skill and they are at the top of their chosen sport, but its a pity that such athletic ability is not put to a better use than to do physical violence to each other. (2) and more importantly, no one is at risk of a potentialy life threatening brain injury caused by repeated blows to the head.
I know some may call it sport, but Im sorry, its not for me.

it would be good if we got paid 20million for winning in a robot wars fight :P

well i remember that st agro bloke getting a good whollop on the head from his robot at a newark event years ago.

england are having a terrible year? wanna ask the rugby union or great briton lions how this years going for them?
just coz on boxer loses and f-ing football loses england are having a bad year? 2nd in both rugby league and union, rowing sucsess and quaterfinals of the hockey world cup.

how bout amir khan? 72 second win, joe calzahgi still the best in the world,
Ricky hatton is a fat lad from manchester, he lost because he under estimated mayweather if he think oscar de la hoya will fight him now he can forget it
