Last night I spent some time watching the heavyweight boxing title fight. Boy! Was it boring. Wladimir Klitschko was simply using his size 6 feet 7 inches to jab his opponent Sultan Ibragimov who is a mere 6 feet. When I watch boxing, I like to see how fighters adjust to each other and how courageous the fighters are. The Sultan was merely outsized however I did see that he had more heart to at least make the fight competitive. Glass chin Wlad was nothing more than an overgrown bully who didn't show any skill but rather dominated his opponent with his size. The heavy weight division is currently composed of boxers who are simply...medicore. It was a waste of my time. I still think Samuel Peter has the most promise. Till next time...zzzz!

Three weeks ago, I have to say that I saw the best boxing fight ever. The boxing fight was between Joe Calzaghe and Mikkel Kessler . Wow! It was awesome. It wasn't a typical blood and guts fights where fighters show courage, determination and a will to survive. This fight was more in the " sweet science " category. The lighting fast hand speed, power, the body movement, offense, defense, and simply power and determination. It was simply beautiful. If anything is done to perfection. it is a simply a beautiful act where words cannot describe the simplicity, the elegance, and its place in that movement of time. I have to say this fight fit this category. Here is a post fight comments by the HBO team. The video doesn't have any video for the first 24 seconds (just audio).
