I hate to admit this, but I think boxing is fascinating. The concept of being entertained by grown men beating on each other is kinda worrisome. Kinda makes me feel like I am regressing back to the barbaric days when we settled things with duels and what not. Then I realized we have not really grown all that far past the barbaric days of old. Look at us now. We don't like someone, what to we do? We beat them up, be it through a law suit, by black balling them, or maybe just a nice mob hit. :-) As a country, we beat on people when we don't like what they are doing. We set up sanctions, we bomb the hell out of the country, we engage in a "military action" (which is really a war, but we can't call it that...) So, in the end, for all we like to say we are a civilized society, are we really so much better then the duelists of old, or the neanderthals clubbing each other?
