Boxing = fucking pointless
I just heard that Anthony Mundine beat Danny Green in the apparently significant boxing match tonight in Sydney.
I really fail to see the appeal of boxing. Its brutal, dangerous and generally practiced by buffoons. Its corrupt and totally lacking in credibility. Just can’t see the fun in 2 guys beating the crap out of each other.
In one of the preliminary matches, former footballer John Hopoate, won his professional debut. This is being beat up as some sort of good thing for the sport. Hopoate, you may recall (also known as “Stop-a-fart-e”) is the player who was infamous for sticking his finger up other players’ arseholes, among other acts of thuggery and stupidity. From the brief highlights shown on the news just now, I’d say he was set up deliberately to look good in a match against an opponent about as threatening as a punching bag. Of course, whatever success Hopoate’s win means, it will be blown out of all proportion in the sporting press.
In case you have any doubts about my feelings about boxing ….. it is fucking stupid and not a sport for civilised people.

Sounds like you’re trying to picking a fight.

As they say, “in life as in the ring”.
I must disagree. Boxing is the ONLY sport that isn’t a team sport, there it is ALL about the boxer.
It is corrupt, true.
But a live boxing match is something to see.
And believe it or not, I’m female.

I totally agree with you. We try to bring out children up not to fight and here they see fwits making megabucks doing it.
And what a jerk is John Stop-a-fart-e (luv that one, never heard it before) challenging Mark Guyer to a fight… I had no idea Guyer was a boxer (???). I did love Guyers Response on the footy show last night tho.
