This is why boxers are one of the few athletes that DESERVE the insane amount of money they are paid.

You enter the ring and the GOAL of your opponent is to knock your brain HARD enough to make you faint.

But you're smart and trained so you guard your head.

Prohlem is your opponent is smart and trained too. So while you're guarding your head, he BATTERS your kidney. Over and over again.

Until you give up and try to guard against body shots. At which point your opponent musters ALL of his strength and deliver a powerful BLOW that rattles your brain inside your skull.

What I'm saying is this:

Boxing is a modern day BLOODSPORT. People train to kill each other with their bare hands for entertainment.
So it's a very foolish boxer that will go through all that punishment, make all that money and still go broke.

The detailed description you gave is enough to ban the sport. wink

Ban wetin??! Don't make me laugh.

Maybe you don't know that most human beings across the world, especially in Europe and America revel in violence and bloodshed.

That's why such inhumane and gory sports like Boxing, MMA, and underground death matches have insane and ridiculously high sponsorship.

Study the history of Violent and Mortal Gladiator sports under the Roman empire.

Let's not even talk about the Billion Dollar betting industry... That's an age long mafia cartel.

His Boxing career might be done here...!

Having a 'killed' or death on your Boxing resume is a terrible thing.

That's a career demise.

What a tragedy, may his soul rest in peace.
I think boxing as a sport should be banned.

Fat chance that will ever happen.

MMA is even far worse... That one is pure raw Gladiator violence.

Do you know how much sponsors spend annually on those blood sports?!! The fact that it is a multi-Billion Dollar industry means it won't end anytime soon.


They will simply write off such incidents as rare collateral damage and job hazards, which the boxers and fighters sign off on.


Personally, I believe average human beings, especially Europeans and Americans, have an innate desire to see violence and bloodshed.

See the high number of people who pay large sums of money to see these fights... Even unsanctioned underground death matches are highly attended annually.

Yeah, now that you mention it, I remember AJ and Ngannou being paid an insane amount for a fight in Saudi Arabia not too long ago.

I guess it's up to the boxers to make their choice - life or death. Even Mohammed Ali didn't enjoy his post retirement life, it's not worth it IMHO.

These boxers punch all vital organs of your body. Your head, your nose, your ear, your chest your heart everywhere. Boxing,MMA and all of them I don't admire them.

Punching a boxer's chest attracts no point. Only the head and face can earn you points.

People should know when to throw in the towel, live to fight another day.

Many people didn't understand how AJ felt when he threw in the Towel against Andy Ruiz while still standing on his feet. Attletics in every sport need to understand their body and know when to stop.

May his soul rest in peace.

Many people don't believe in spirituality. Some don't even believe in God and prayers.

I see such people as foolish and working corpse. If no be God, them for don kpai me since. I have escaped gun on two occasions in this Nigeria. One was during my university days when I was going for night class around 11PM in the night. One happy trigger mofo almost pull a trigger on me on the way that very night for no reason. Another happened at a gun point when I went to withdraw money from a POS. It's not coincidence. It's God and as per my head strong too. I nor come this life with soft head.

Any evil person come for me, the person dey find big trouble cuz no be person go tell u to retreat. Body go tell that person. Na God dey protect me couple with my mouth that carried grace I speak things into reality. That's why I always keep my hands clean.

I no dey find trouble. I dey mind my business but cuz I am Godsent, the devil and his worker of iniquity want me death. But they don't know me too hold my side tight.

In life, you must balance your physical life with your spiritual life.

Don't overlook God, nature and spirituality on all its entirety. It's not by coincidence that we wake up on a daily basis still some people still play down on the power of God, nature and the university as a whole.

On God always and forever. The grace is obvious.

I still say it THE WORLD IS SICK!!!
Went through comments and all i see is rip and all. If it were 2 men fighting on the street and one hits the other to death he goes to prison. But because money is involved, two grown ups paired against each other one can easily beat the other to death and its alright, coz its a competition?
We are barbaric and sick!!! Get entertained by waitching 2 people fight over money and kill each other over it.
