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...

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.

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 watch boxing if it's on, which, since I don't have cable, is usually at hooters.

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.

I used to box a little back when I was also into martial arts.
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.

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?
