Boxing traditionally was received very well and accepted on both sides.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Boxing was not something I truly enjoyed. Like a lot of things in life, when you put the gloves on, it's better to give than to receive.
Boxing is a noble sport.
I've always loved boxing. It's something I've always been extremely excited about.
I've always boxed, I always taught boxing.
A good boxing competition gives one the sight of fine men in their prime, trained to the ounce, showing the highest skill, pluck and endurance in carrying out their attack and defence under strict rules of fair play and good temper.
Boxing is really an art form. It might just look like two people beating each other up, but when you look closer, it's actually quite beautiful and interesting.
Boxing is not always about standing in the middle going toe to toe. It's about poise and grace under extreme pressure.
I've met some of the most interesting, dimensional, and kind people of my life in that subculture and around the sport. And it seems to me that boxing is one of those structures that is designed to promote harmony. I think that it is a stove that contains that fire in us and makes it safe and useful.
In those days, boxing was very glamorous and romantic. You listened to fights on the radio, and a good announcer made it seem like a contest between gladiators.
Boxing is like jazz. The better it is, the less people appreciate it.
