Title: The art of boxing... Post by: TRAY on May 05, 2006, 11:07:54 AM Are any of you guys into boxing? I just returned from the gym after 90 minutes of intensive training...
I just switched from gym...after a bit more than a year training at my first, where boxing was on a dead end thanks to the owner...now I made a restart at another gym, completely focused on boxing itself... Title: Re: The art of boxing... Post by: den68 on May 05, 2006, 11:20:15 AM I've never done it. It always looked like it would be fun to do. I used to watch a lot of boxing years ago, back when Mike Tyson first came on the scene.

Title: Re: The art of boxing... Post by: Mezmoron on May 05, 2006, 11:45:10 AM I watch Friday night fights every friday on ESPN. I've tried it in the gym, but seriously, it's freaking hard. After about 10 minutes I'm tired as all getout.

I did three years of Tae Kwon Do and got my black belt but never competed. I've thought about getting into boxing now that I'm out of TKD. Or maybe I should stick with oriental arts and learn how to fly. Title: Re: The art of boxing...

The last roller hockey place I played at also had a boxing facility upstairs. I really haven't followed boxing in a long time though. Title: Re: The art of boxing... Post by: phoenix1967 on July 07, 2006, 02:18:25 PM At this point in time, Boxing is kind of a take it or leave it sport in my opinion. However, out of all the sports out there, boxing has some of the best movies (Raging Bull, Cinderella Man, Million Dollar Baby, the Rocky series, Diggstown, etc.).
When I was in karate, we kickboxed 1 night a week. It was fun, but yeah, a helluva workout. As far as boxing games, I'm liking what I played of the demo of Fight Night Round 3, but I'm going to wait for the price to drop below $30 before I pick it up. I remember playing countless hours of the SegaGenesis Evander Holyfield's "Real Deal" Boxing; a GREAT boxing game for it's day! Just thinking out loud: Was Intellivision Boxing the first side view "Fighting" game ever? |
