Wow Klitschko is still fighting? He must be up there now. I'm really looking forward to seeing Creed when it comes out.

I was also surprised that he's still fighting. He's 39. I guess now that he has an extra mouth to feed now.......

I know many consider boxing barbaric, but I grew up watching boxing with my Dad and extended family (as well as all sports) and I still like to watch it if it's a good bout. There is a lot of skill and discipline required in boxing.

Thanks for for the info. You don't hear about it as much anymore and I didn't know.

Boxing and like "sports" belong back in the Roman stadiums. Boxing is truly barbaric. The only draw for the participants is $$, ego and hate.

I cannot imagine a better reason to ban a sport.

BTW: who ends up paying their medical bills for years and years and years?

Banning is ridiculous. Any athelete who willingly enters professional sports is responsible for their own medical care and costs.
