HAS THE WORLD BOXING WORLD BECOME TOO GLAMORIZED?
Has the World Boxing world become too glamorized? This is the question posed by those persons that think that boxing should be banned. They would also say that modern boxing is just overtly glorified violence and that it is not a sport fit for modern civilized society. This is just not true because boxing requires the discipline, keen senses, sound mind and technical skills that surpass the expectations of most other athletic sports. Boxers must develop both tactical thinking and physical skill, but more importantly they have only one thing to rely on themselves with their bodies. Unlike any other sport it is art of pure discipline in combat, not just a game. Banning boxing is not the answer and doing so is most likely going to cause it to go back underground as in decades past. Unregulated boxing was responsible for more violent casualties than the sport as it is today. This is especially true in countries outside of America. As with most issues of violence in society, banning the sport of boxing will not stop violence. Civilized societies must seek out the sources of violent behavior rather than ban easy and unrelated targets. Boxing does not glamorize violence.
