No violence of any kind. Having a crowd there doesn't change the fact that one person will try to knock the other unconscious. (and potentially cause brain injury). That's not sport. That's feeding the inner killer ape in us. Just me ...carry on.

I agree it's not cool, but I'm too libertarian to say it should be illegal. If someone wants to do it, they should be allowed, imho.
Yes. For some its a way out. A person who enjoys fighting, has a place for it. Its far better than fighting on the streets with people who want no part of it. Imagine what would've become of a Mike Tyson or George Foreman if boxing never existed. In some gyms they train kids and teens for free. A lot of these kids are inner city kids looking for a way out. Boxing and martial arts installs discipline and confidence which can be carried in other areas of life. It keeps them away from gang activities and drugs.
