hi. i was wondering if you guys here watch boxing or mixed martial arts or pro wrestling?
im a big fight fan, especially of the lower weight classes. i love watching guys like barrera, erik morales and manny pacquiao.

I watch it occasionally.

i used to enjoy boxing alot, but seeing boom boom mancini kill duk koo kim soured me a bit on the sport.. i can remember that fight like it was yesterday and i can tellyou exactly where i was, what i was wearing.. here in brasil mma is really big, for stuff like ufc and the like, local bars show it on big screens and it gets packed...

I like kickboxing. I used to do it at school, but now I have no time, so I do the exercises at home. It helped me defend myself recently. That and my fast running speed.

I watch a little boxing, but mostly kickboxing like K-1 and K-1 Max. I like seeing the footwork and combinations in pro boxing, but kickboxing is far better in my opinion. I love watching pride and UFC as well, but I prefer striking and stand-up fighting to grappling. I train muay thai in my spair time as well, it's great excercise and helps keep my mind under control. You should watch some K1 world max kickboxing, it's all 155 pound fighters, and they're the best in the world.

I don't mind boxing, my husband is a fan of the sport.

When the Olympics were on here in Sydney, the only Olympic event I saw in person was, with my hubby, to the Boxing Quarter-Finals (mid range priced seats too - got a good view of the action).

i love watching all combat sports, but ive never fought anyone in my life. im pretty much a scaredy cat.

i would like to learn self defense techniques someday, like jiu jitsu, krav maga or aikido.
im not especially athletic or agile so taekwondo, karate or boxing is pretty much out of the question.

I never liked watching combat sports (pro wrestling I don't think counts as one), but when I was younger I did karate. I'd like to go back to it some day.

i love the idea and techniques, theory of combat.
i just havent been really2x hit before.
