A sport that the objective is to inflict max pain to your opponent & possibly knock him out?

A sport that exposes you to brain damage & related illness even after retirement?

Anyone who enjoys seeing pain being inflicted on a fellow human being, must have barbaric or sadist tendencies, to say the least.
They are the types that enjoy watching gladiators killing each other in the past. Another stu..pid sport is power slap

Ghana has banned competitive boxing for the very reason that you cited here. A while back when I was in peak physical condition from a fanatic weight lifting regime, I decided to enroll for Chinese kickboxing, under the tutelage of a black-belt instructor who was over 60 years old at the time, whose height was about 145 pounds, and who stood at an unimposingly short 5 feet 6 inches tall.

I was at the time a solid 195 pounds of muscle, standing 6 feet 1 inch, and sporting a chiseled 32-inch weight. I was of average strength for that weight, but still my gym routine typically started out with a few bench press sets of 7 at 225 pounds. Having transformed myself from a skinny guy to a powerful athlete in under a year, I imagined I could prevail in any fight against any smaller opponent, by virtue of sheer power.

It did not take long before all my assumptions about my fighting ability went out the window. After some weeks of training, the instructor transitioned me to some sparring sessions against other students and against the master. That was the time I realized the brain-rattling power that a single punch can inflict on the human cranium. The instructor informed me that he always reduced his punching impact energy so a not to injure his students, but when this man connected with my head, I felt a massive jolt of electricity travel down my spinal column, and my eyes watered from the impact as though I was weeping from the pain of the brain trauma.

From that time till the present, I NEVER assumed anything about any man's fighting ability, regardless of how small, elderly, or out-of-shape the man looks. More importantly I NEVER once ventured to challenge anyone to a fist-fight to this day. Not for any sum of money in this world would I ever fight against another human being, unless I have a well-serviced firearm in my hands in a situation that arises where I am unexpectedly left with with no choice but to defend myself.

In short, pellow kwantiri-mans, FEAR the small, quiet guy who is slow to anger, and NEVER pick a fight unless you need to protect your life.

Interesting. But I bet, you fought to make money/fame not for the sake of enjoying fighting.

Few spectacles are more pleasing to watch than arrogant, overconfident people discovering that reality is far different from their imaginary world in which they are undisputed king of the universe.

Jake Paul can now humble himself, and learn how to speak again with his broken jaw. He can go back to the profession for which he is truly qualified, which is that of a YouTube content creator and slapstick comedian.

Good job done with alacrity by Tony Joshua. Very amusing to see that Jake Paul thought he was King Kong because he defeated Iron Mike Tyson on points at a time when Iron Mike had long retired from boxing and is in his late fifties.
This one 👆is feeling like a motivational speaker and talking about humble himself. Ogbeni, Jake Paul made 70 million dollars from this fight. He originated the fight and made more than AJ in overall earnings.

All his blabbing was part of his gimmicks to make people watch the fight and he cashed out big time. Of course he and everyone knew AJ was going to beat him. Fight that was most likely staged undecided

Person wey don dey make money na him you siddon for house dey advise? AJ is a money making machine. Google him and put some respect on his name. AJ is one of the most endorsed fighters in boxing. Making millions just to be seen with several brands.

Besides, AJ has made more than 400 million dollars in career earnings.

Please no ever put AJ name and Bash Ali name in the same sentence! angry

they don't understand Jake Paul is just an exhibition fight.

Ajs ego will not let him agree to lose, even if that would bring more money

Exactly. And is ego won't let him agree to lose, even if that would have brought him more money. Do you know how many ufc guys would have beaten Jake Paul, those ones just agree to lose and collect the money.

So what of Tyson that fought Jake Paul. You think Tyson didn't make money earlier. Or do think these guys spend like common people. I know AJ might have some investments in place, but this is the time to use any available opportunities to make more. He'll soon retire, endorsement will stop, he doesn't have any strong brand like Michael Jordan, he's not based in the US that has a huge celeb fandom culture. A lawsuit can come up from anywhere and if you're not solid it will dry you out.
Re: Anthony Joshua Knocks Out Jake Paul, Breaks His Jaw by StoryHaven: 2:55pm On Dec 20, 2025
Right English mos times is not right.
He said I think "I broke my jaw"
He is supposed to say ,"he broke my jaw"

Good Eglish is not always right.

Very protourageous and trickologolous.

Oga, Tyson blew all his money in nonsense.,AJ is not that foolish. He’s doing very well financially. Does he look like someone that will blow all his money like Tyson to you? Do you ever hear about AJ carrying women and blowing money anyhow? undecided

AJ is no Michael Jordan but he has got the appeal for brands.

Guy, try to go google and read about AJ before you talk wetin you no sabi angry

These guys don't know that AJ is a multimillionaire, possibly the wealthiest heavyweight currently, even more so that Tyson Fury.

His real estate portfolio is intimidating!

Re: Anthony Joshua Knocks Out Jake Paul, Breaks His Jaw by Novaxerxes(m): 4:51pm On Dec 20, 2025
I'm still kinda pissed that the fight went as it did. In my opinion, Jake Paul wasn't beaten as I would have wanted him. For the first 3 rounds, nothing happened. AJ didn't even seem to want to do anything to Paul. He just kept walking towards him and throwing jabs into the air when the distance between them was super far. If he wanted to, he could've fought him properly. One of AJ's famous styles is to get close and throw an aggressive 3,2 combination(a left long hook followed with a massive right)
And maybe the occasional hard jabs.
He did none of that. It made the whole stuff look sus. Suddenly at round 4 or so, he finally decided to fight.
As soon as the bell was rung you could see a whole different AJ compared to the first 3 rounds.
In the end Jake was just caught with a few big shots that put him down. I was looking to see a beat down, a barrage of punches, actual and sustained punishment that'd humble him.
Not a long fight in which he was finally caught.

Imagine after the fight, paul was talking about the fight being fun. Clearly he wasn't beaten properly for him to still talk about having fun.

I feel the fight was scripted to an extent with a possible "no knockout clause" between rounds 1 to 3 or 4. Maybe that'd explain the strange performance from AJ then. That way both guys win. Jake would be KO'ed as expected but wouldn't be hurt as he ought to, and he would have bragging rights of lasting up to 6 rounds with AJ in a fight scheduled to last 8 rounds

I love boxing. I started boxing myself. Thinking of making my competition debut by end of next year tho I may have to make it upper year cuz of my work. I'm a heavy weight but I'd like to compete below heavy cuz most of my likely opponents at heavy would be super heavyweights coming down to fight at heavy undecided
Super heavyweight power is no joke.


But UFC is damn too brutal for me. Its fun watching it but to engage in it requires some mad level resolve. Nice to meet a fellow boxer here
