Know he who is stronger than you; let your challenges towards him have limits until you think you're strong enough to fight fully; then get beaten to death/faint by same person...
NOTE: Respect pays and attracts mercy.

angry Boxing is just evil

The politics and corruption in boxing is "evil", but the sport itself isn't.

Omoluabi...killed by malnutrition not boxing

The gent that died in the ring was a middleweight boxer.....hence his thin look.

Middle weights weigh between 54 lbs (70.5 kg) and up to 160 lb (72.5 kg).....hence his lean look.

Boxing has several weight divisions....see link here :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_class_%28boxing%29#Professional_boxing

How can mature sane men wake up one morning and say he wants to start punching his fellow man and also recieve punches for a living Dem well

Why and what criteria was used to ensure this frail frame to enter such a match. No meat anywhere to absorb punches. Nawao!!
