I am OK with boxing, my Mom loves it. I do find pro-boxing to be a little barbaric at times, I mean these guys are trying to KO each other, not try to achieve the most points or hits. Concussions are the worst kind of injuries and they are barbaric. Why not just give them maces to beat each other with. Amateur boxing that we see in the Olympics tends to be more refined and involves more finesse and I tend to enjoy these matches more. Now fencing is a real gentleman's sport, quite impossible to get a concussion.
