Will somebody PPPLLEEAAASSEE tell me what the hell is so cool about BOXING?!?!?!?! If you can't tell by now, i'm almost screaming out this sentence. Okay, i'll admit i pretty much don't get sport as a whole. I mean i DO watch football, but i enjoy it more for the camaraderie it encourages than for the actual following of a bunch of guys chasing a little ball around a huge field. But Boxing? BOXING?!? A couple of guys pounding the living daylights out of each other?! Pfft..
Every time i'm forced to watch boxing (meaning i'm actually in the vicinity of a boxing match on tele) for about a couple of minutes, it literally is entertaining to watch me. Everytime one of the boxers takes a hit, i yell like i'm the one who's had my teeth knocked in. Everytime a boxer gets knocked out, i behave like someone's just beat on me with a sock full of quarters. I kid you not! I know i know, drama drama, but for real i always and i mean ALWAYS cry over a boxing game! I will admit (only under pain or torture) that i love watching a good real life street fight. I mean it's entertaining, not only to watch but to ponder on what was the underlying reason behind the fight.
That's the difference right there i suppose, a real life street fight has REAL emotion behind it, whereas a boxing game is all about winning. EGO and PRIDE. If you ask me, that just ain't a good enough reason for me to play a game where i could end up brain damaged, or worse, looking like i'm in desperate need for cosmetic surgery.
Floating like a butterfly, stinging like a bee.. ah phooey.. i hope the damn bee stings the bloody butterfly..
