Great picture Red, not so great Snoppy.......have you got your tongue pierced?
I never boxed myself but i have trained with boxers on and off for years (not like them, more casually!!) and the training regime and punishment they go thru is awesome.
Much respect.
I was only playing at it, but you have to take your hat off to the pro's, 12 rounds of extreme physical effort is bad enough without someone punching you every two seconds
I have seen some of the great bare knuckle fighters in action too, those guys have hearts like lions, true modern day gladiators
