1) Is it true bare knuckle boxing was once a sport?
2) Is there really gonna be a new Rocky movie?
3) When those guys in the boxer's corner are putting vasoline on the boxer's face, wtf is that supposed to do?
4) Am I the only one who found Michelle Rodriguiez totally sexy in Girlfight?

5) I know boxers wear gloves and all, but if you get punched in the face by one of those gloves, does it hurt really bad? If that's the case, I just don't see how they do it. If someone cold decked my jaw, I'd be on the ground crying for 10 minutes straight.
6) Is it true boxers shouldn't have sex while training for a fight? If so, why is that?
7) Now that Lennox Lewis has retired, Mike Tyson's career is pretty much over, and George Forman along with Evander Holyfield announcing that they're getting back into the ring, who currently hold's the title of heavyweight champion of the world?
8) The last movie I've seen Sly (let's call him that cuz I can't spell his name) in was Get Carter which was REALLY shitty. Sly used to be a huge star. EXACTLY what movie started the downward spiral of his career?


Martial Arts...

1) Is Drunken Boxing a real fighting style?
2) Besides Jackie Chan's movies, are there any other good Drunken Boxing Martial Arts flicks?
3) Are there any fighting games that let you do Drunken Boxing?
4) Does Donald Rumsfeld know Drunken Boxing?

Boxing:
1. Yes.
2. News to me.
3. I think it's supposed to make the boxer's face slick so punches slide off.
4. Little scary.
5. Yes, it hurts.
6. Aggresiveness, maybe?
7. http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news?slug=champs&prov=st&type=lgns
8. Beats me... Rocky V? Oscar? Stop or My Mom Will Shoot? Judge Dredd?

Martial Arts
1. I think so.
2. Jackie's drunken boxing was totally made up IIRC.
3. VF4, DOA3 come to mind.
4. Yes. Rumsfeld is a f*cking lethal weapon.

Most Chinese MArtial Arts have a drunken element to them somewhere. Choy Li Fut has a strong one.

There's some drunken work in Shaolin Challenges Ninja. An old Shaw movie by Master Lau Kar Leung.

Regarding the sex question, it's really just a superstition about believing that sex saps your energy, or makes you less aggressive. There's no real scientific biological basis for it.

Regarding getting hit: umm, duh, of course it hurts. How do they do it? Well, some people just has a natural ability to take a punch. It's the toughness and heart that makes a great fighter.

An annoying superstition that has resulted in millions of annoying cards being handed out on February 14th.

5) Yes... a lot. Though the glove provides SOME cushion against the bare knuckles, it's still fucking solid, and fucking HURTS.

 

[Biff Hardbody]

1) Yes.
2) Hopefully not, they should have stopped at IV.
3) Redeuce the chance of getting cut.
4) She's to masculine for me.
5) Yes, it hurts like a bitch. Worry when it doesn't hurt, that could mean your about to be KOed.
6) Some believe it, some don't. Its really more about focus then it is physical.
7) There's 3 or 4 heavyweight champions last time I looked, and they all are pretty boring.
8) It could be Rocky IV, even though that was a blockbuster. He got horribly panned for it by the critics. That or "Cobra".

1) Yes.
2) Jackies the best. Jet Li did one I think, forgot the title. Sorry.
3) Yep. Try Virtua Fighter.
4) Yes, he's a master.

5) Yes... a lot. Though the glove provides SOME cushion against the bare knuckles, it's still fucking solid, and fucking HURTS.

CK, hows your boxing going?

ODB's style in the Wu-Tang game was drunken style.
