All gone quite now after tonight.
Where are you? Let's be having you!
Fabio was devastating tonight, really hope he can get a fight at Portman Road now. |  | | |  |

There’s actually counter research to suggest head guards cause added injuries ie: impaired vision with a sweaty head guard that shifts about slightly restricting visibility on acute angles as well as being distracting. Personally, I never used them in sparring as I sweat a lot and found I was constantly realigning or adjusting it.
I also read some research stating that the added weight of head guards isn’t natural to the head movement. In the event a knockout does occur, the head won’t naturally recoil giving it the best chance of protecting itself - I get the logic but know little else on it.
Many white collar events use extra padded gloves. Naturally this isn’t possible at professional levels.
That’s the best knowledge I have but I only boxed at White Collar level. |
If headguards are that risky, why do they continue to be used at amateur level?
And re
"Many white collar events use extra padded gloves. Naturally this isn’t possible at professional levels."
Why isn't it possible? |  |

You have zero knowledge whats happened in my life thank you. |
Perhaps you shouldn’t be so judgmental to other people’s hobbies. You do of course have the choice not to participate. | | | |

Sorry My mistake for not agreeing that punching people in the head is a hobby.
Disclaimer. I've already acknowledged and agreed with the other aspects of a boxing gym.. the fitness etc etc.
But sorry to call the actual punching of an opponent as a hobby is why the sport doesn't need glorifying, no one came away last night with immediate thoughts of wow wardley must have worked hard. Had a great team. Has great mental heath.. the first words were all about the punch. The damage. The knockout. [Post edited 13 Oct 2024 16:02]

That is a nonsense set of comparisons. The whole aim of boxing is to hit someone hard enough in the head, that they fall over and lose consciousness. Sure, you can win on point,s but that is not what they want nor what the crowds are hoping for... |
Lol. A byproduct. 90% of punches are to the head. Lol.
Thats like saying kicking the ball is a byproduct of football. [Post edited 13 Oct 2024 15:58]

I didn't say I've no issue with them. I don't agree with any of them. But the point was that boxing is regulated. Doctors present opponents have agreed to do it so there shouldn't be an issue with it. I disagree.
my point was all the underground stuff if it had a doctor present, was advertised etc would it suddenly become acceptable? No it wouldn't. so boxing in this day in age shouldn't be acceptable and should go to the underground's like the other 'sports' where the purpose is to hurt the opposition to win. |
So your issue is with the fact the purpose is to hurt the opposition to win rather then with the risk of injury and it should be banned for that reason?
I understand where your coming from, but surely banning sports that others enjoy and nobody but the participants risk injury due to you not liking the risks involved etc is starting a dangerous precedent surely?
I for 1 have no time for cricket and find it dangerously boring and would be up for a worldwide ban. But I understand that others bizarrely enjoy it and its part of their lifes and culture |  | | |

Ipswich based boxer who publicly supports ITFC and promotes the club on a world stage, comprehensively destroys the opponent who had the cheek to parade himself around in a Norwich shirt at Portman Road, and the reaction of the TWTD navel gazing club? Give him pelters. Embarrassing.
Some of you really are a very strange breed of bed wetting buffoons. Get fooked. |
Are you suggesting that the "opponent who had the cheek to parade himself around in a Norwich shirt at Portman Road" was not part of some sort of boxing pantomime promotion ? | | | |

Yeah 100% any sport for me that glorifies violence should be banned from advertisement and broadcast. There's no benefit to watching two blokes try and knockout each other. Over the years we've seen many things change some baffling some quite right and some long overdue. For me boxing is one of them. It makes no sense why we as a world glorify punching someone in a world when violence is so bad.
I'm not saying they're linked and people watch boxing and then go out and punch someone.
But with how things have changed in the world then it makes to put a stop to public boxing as well as the mma etc etc when the purposes of the sport is hurt to the opponent.
There are plenty of sports I'd love to never see again. But appreciate those staying as they are actual sports with the purpose to use talent and skill to win without the need to hurt the opponents to do so. Snooker. Golf. Test cricket. So boring. But that's a whole different discussion and is just a personal preference one. I like darts and I know many people hate that. | |

Why isn't it possible? |
Because it’s not as sellable and there too much money involved to wear big padded gloves.
Same goes for head guards at pro level. It’d be like bringing them in to the PL to prevent the risk of Alzheimer’s from heading the ball. Not sure why they use head guards at amateur level. The risk is obviously seemed greater from punches and they want to protect lesser experienced fighters I guess. [Post edited 13 Oct 2024 16:41]

I reckon we should just all say well done Fab.
Poor bloke lost his uncle a couple of weeks back, and has the funeral this week too. So to put in a performance like he did was pretty special. |  |

I just don't get all the 'hate' for Fabio, local boy doing extremely well for himself against the odds. I get some people don't like boxing and that the ko was 'ugly' viewing if you're not a boxing fan but come on give the man some credit. | | | |

It’s not about “beating the sense out of someone”, that’s what I’ve been telling you but you’re failing to join the dots up. Being punched is a by product of boxing as is being kicked at kick boxing or grappled to the floor in Judo or wrestling. No boxer goes in with the intent of killing someone no matter all the camaraderie or trash talk.
Seems you’re letting your own prejudices and or fears cloud this discussion as your point has been very monotone and a little laboured. What’s the point of discussion on a forum if you just want an echo chamber? |

Very few have a problem with that. Quite a few have a problem with him gatecrashing the ITFC promotion party. A few people have explained that to you and you seem to not be noticing. | |

You said, “beating the sense out of someone”. Now you’ve changed it to “punching someone in the head”. Div listed you. Off you go little boy. [Post edited 13 Oct 2024 18:33]

The objective of boxing is obviously beat the sense out of your opponent. i.e go for a knockout.
Tell me how that is congruent with saying punching someone in the head is a "byproduct".
Please 🙏🏼 [Post edited 13 Oct 2024 18:42]

There’ll be a spectrum of views, but I the most common factor seems to be that he’s got nothing to do with the club. In my case I don’t hate him, but I couldn’t care less about him or his sport and I’ve no interest in seeing someone milking plaudits if they’ve not contributed to the success. |  |

Is it still called cage fighting? Somebody knees someone else in the face and busts their nose. The crowd goes wild and wish for more. Women doing this also. Crazy world we live in. | |

You could ask the question about one of your favourite sports. If jump racing is responsible for the majority of horse deaths on a race course why not get rid of the fences and just have flat racing. All sport has risks. |  | | |

Watching a sport where non-consenting animals have a high chance of injury and death is also a weird place to get your kicks fwiw
but by making this about inherent risk you're obfuscating the main point, which is why glorify the beating of another man and call it a sport.
Of course all sports have risk, that's not the problem here. | | | |

It's a good point but one thats easy to answer tbh.
Most will agree fences shouldn't exist. But they do and they do help to put on a good race.
However. We aren't watching those races hoping horses fall down quite the opposite. We hope our horses get over each on safely and go onto win.
If we were however hoping to see a horse fall and the name of the game was to make other horses fall then yes It would fall under a vile sport.
The byproduct word used earlier I think suits this best. The sport is horse racing. It's jump season. The aim is win by crossing the finishing line and out running the others. The byproduct of his however is the occasional horse falling.
I do agree though that jumps shouldn't exist. I dont see the need. And I'm really chuffed over the years they reduced things like the chair in the national. | |

Please keep up. Fwiw I gave up following jump racing 5 years ago & have said that before on here (tho maybe I didn't give the reason, ie because I couldn't stand watching the horses falling). Apart from the GN anyway, partly as a national event & partly for family reasons, which I guess makes me hypocritical in that dept. | |

Hiking 😂😂😂
Lads. Just get in a boxing gym for yourselves. Your mental health will see a significant improvement for one that’ll far exceed the dopamine hit you get on here from political point scoring. If you’re seriously worried about injury then it’s not for you but more people die from drowning each year than they do boxing. |
Hiking is an excellent activity for building strength, endurance, and mental resilience. Here’s how it helps in each area:
1. Strength:
• Lower Body: Hiking, especially on uneven or uphill terrain, strengthens muscles in the legs, including the quads, hamstrings, calves, and glutes. Carrying a backpack adds resistance, further increasing strength.
• Core: Stabilizing yourself on uneven ground works your core muscles, improving balance and core strength.
• Upper Body: While hiking primarily targets the lower body, using trekking poles or carrying a backpack engages your shoulders, arms, and back muscles.
2. Endurance:
• Hiking is a form of aerobic exercise, which boosts cardiovascular endurance. Walking for extended periods, especially on varied terrain, challenges your heart and lungs, improving stamina over time.
• The constant change in elevation and terrain requires your body to adapt, building muscular endurance as you hike longer distances.
3. Mental Limits:
• Persistence: Hiking often involves long, repetitive efforts, especially on challenging trails or during multi-hour treks. Pushing through physical discomfort can enhance mental toughness.
• Problem Solving: Navigating unfamiliar trails or overcoming obstacles such as rough terrain or steep inclines improves problem-solving skills, teaching patience and adaptability.
• Mindfulness: Being in nature fosters a sense of mindfulness, encouraging mental clarity and stress relief. Over time, this mental discipline can help you handle other stressors in life with greater ease.
In summary, hiking enhances physical and mental endurance by engaging muscles in the entire body, challenging cardiovascular capacity, and strengthening mental resilience through overcoming challenges and navigating unpredictable environments. |  | | |
