Every one has the right to protect themselves from danger through self defense. How ever fighting through sport like boxing, well thats just plain stupid to me. All it shows is some one is more stronger then some one else, and while it shows this you have 2 guys practically killing each other.

I once saw an interview with one of the boxers after the fight and he couldn't put a sentence together, he was smacked that badly. Its not healthy either, think of the physical damage that is caused to the brain and other body parts.
