Who here likes boxing, as a hobby (or even if you compete)? A while back I did some boxing w/a friend and I liked it quite a bit. I haven't done it in a while though, so I want to pick it up again soon if I can. Anybody else ever do it? Did you like it? Did you get hurt? 
I always trained with proper equipment though, so I never had any problems with getting injured or anything. Also, what type of fighter are you, or would be? Being light, I'm a relatively quick one not with excessive amounts of power (ie, "slugger"). I fight with my left hand in front and lower, and right hand closer to my body and higher up (protecting face/upper body).
When you box, do you use your feet a lot (like you are supposed to, I think), or do you not move around much? And in your typical stance, do is your lower body vulnerable? I notice this in a lot of people, they always leave themselves very vulnerable there. I usually have that covered with my left hand.. I don't get why anybody keeps their hands even and high up.
And another thing. Has anyone seen the boxing movie "Gladiator"? I thought it was alright. What about Girl Fight? I found that one kinda interesting.
Anyway, that's my nef for the night. Later!
