Boxing

I recently have been getting into watching boxing. I never before cared much to see two guys fight in a ring, but my boyfriend is really into it so I have been watching matches with him. We usually go to Gills to watch the matches. They have a bunch of big screen TVs up all around the restaurant, so it is going on everywhere around you. Everyone there is rooting for their person so it is really easy to get into it. I have found that boxing is a lot more than just throwing some punches. The boxers must learn a lot of technique. They must defend themselves and at the same time find just the right time to swing that left hook. It is crazy to see the hits in slow motion. When you are watching them fight some of the blows do not seem that bad, but when they slow it down you can see how harsh it really is. Everything on the guys’ faces will look as though they are dislocated. These guys have to be in awesome shape as well. I could never run around a ring taking punch after punch for as long as they do. They really are a site to see. Although it is fun to watch, just the environment makes it an awesome time. We are going to watch a match this Saturday after the Memphis vs. Tennessee game. Hopefully Memphis and my guy will win! It will be a very long day but I am sure it will be a day I will never forget.
