Moomintroll Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 23 minutes ago, NJ2 said: The limited sparring with mates I’ve done, I don’t remember being hurt by being hit in the head. It’s more like a strong push that your head gets. Body shots can be unpleasant though. Obviously I’ve never been down because I’m hard as nails (and it’s just with mates, we’re not going 100% and will give each other a chance to recompose if need be) I must have had some serious arseholes for mates. I sadly remember that dull thudding feeling too often as the baterree rather than the batterrer, that shit hurt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Sad that the Sweet Science is being tarred with the Eddie Hearn brush here by people every bit as ignorant of the nuances as the coked up Sweet Caroline fans they describe. The same people decrying the mindless violence of it all probably think watching Floyd Mayweather or Pernell Whittaker is boring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More recently it’s been with boys who’ve done white collar, actually set foot in boxing gyms and are generally in to boxing...just doing it to keep fit and enjoyment, not just to try and hurt one another 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit like saying all football fans are Tommy Robinson football lads like you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I used to be one of those that didn't like boxing at all. A couple of years back I won tickets to a boxing show in a raffle, the main fight of the night was a Scottish title fight. It was only when sat watching it in front of me that I appreciated the skill involved. A good, close fight is completely absorbing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure her smiling when you got punched in the face necessarily means she "loves watching boxing". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The locals called in gasoline. We fired into it one night and were hammered for about 2 days. Really didn't feel like it was something humans should be drinking. He shoplifted a load of Monster Munch and running away was tricky as we were both barefooted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
