Post subject:  Any boxing fans
I have always been a fan of boxing. From the age of 9 I trained and boxed at schoolboy level. I then got hooked on kickboxing at 16 and started to fight. I won the Welsh title but then had to have 2 opperations for something called Achalasia and it put a stop to my fighting days. I then went on to train the youngsters but it just made me want to fight more so I distanced myself from the sport. Lately I have had a really strong urge to get back in to the sport, maybe as a trainer or referee? I think this came about when I recently met Michael Watson a British fighter who was badly injured in a fight against Chris Eubank, he spoke to us for ages and still has such passion for the sport. Anyway I was just wondering if we have any other boxing fans on here?

Yep, right here. It's my number one obsession - more so than watches, if you can believe it. I love the training and I love watching it.

i thought about getting into it, but my vision has never been good. I cant imagine how many contacts I would go through...poppiing out during a blow to the head. Plus, I am unsure of how much damage I can take, I mean I am a big guy, but after Seeing Gatti-Ward and what happened to Ward, I'm hesitant.

Yeah, if you're thinking about getting into boxing then it's probably best to avoid watching any of Gatti's fights! :lol:

Any predictions for this weekend's big fight? I think De La Hoya's just too damn big for Pacquiao. I'd love to see Manny take the fight to him though.
