To me boxing is boring. I would much rather watch something like UFC where the fighters have to use their whole body to fight. UFC seems like more of a chess match with the 2 fighters trying to get the upper hand on each other. As mentioned in a previous post UFC is less dangerous because the fighters take less abuse to their heads. Boxers get hit in the head the entire fight, and if they get knocked down they are given a 10 count to get back up. If a UFC fighter gets knocked silly, they might take another shot or 2, but then the ref will stop it before any major damage is done.
I wouldn't say boxing should be outlawed, but I would be happy to see the dwindling following that boxing has move over to UFC type of fighting. If boxing would just eliminate the 10 count it would fix most of the problems. Don't call of the fighter until he has won. It is much less dangerous to take extra shot after you've been knocked silly than 100 extra shots when you are given time to recover.
