Always good to read about boxing.

Can I ask though – how did you get this picked up and into google news?

Very impressive, is it something that is just up to Google or you actively created?

Obviously this is a popular blog with great data so well done on your seo success..

I can see it now.

America’s favorite gladiator – The Crusader – hunts Islamic detainees. He shoots arrow-like crosses from a hydrolic crossbow and swings through the jungle backdrop of Guantanamo with the help of his bionic grappling arm.

Meanwhile, back in ‘merikuh, bets are placed through carefully run off-shore internet gambling websites.

Gravy.

You gotta realize that with the rights and protections given to American citizens, including disallowing cruel and unusual punishment for criminals, that would never happen.

Now, if we’re talking detainees from the “War on Terror”, that’s a totally different story, since they have no rights. I can see it on pay-per-view already: “Escape from Guantanamo Bay”. Detainees are set “free” in a booby-trapped area and hunted by the US military, with the promise that if they make it out, they’ll be rewarded with a trial or deported to Afghanistan. Not only would this bring in major advertising revenue for the big networks, it would surely increase enrollment in the US military.

This wouldn’t just “expand logically on the public�s desire for increasingly violent interpretations of every possible TV genre”, it would expand on the public’s desire to make Muslims pay for all the things they’ve done to us. It’s a win-win situation!

Maybe if they had swords it would be better. Or at least some kind of mixed martial arts weaponry (on skates.) Or, if swords are too unlikely, just graphite hockey stick shafts that they could use like swords. For the record, UFC would be better with swords too. Better yet…

Remember the 1987 Schwartzenegger classic The Running Man?

I would like to see a pay-per-view event that revolved on that premise. Criminals are hunted by futuristic gladiators boasting elaborate costumes, weapons and stage monickers (like “The Electrocutioner” or “Habeas Corpses”)

America could dispense with her most dangerous criminals and expand logically on the public’s desire for increasingly violent interpretations of every possible TV genre. I know, I know, it sounds over the top. But who would have aired UFC in 1980? Give it a decade or two, and the kids will all be calling it “good clean fun!”

I actually really like the Ultimate Fighting Championship in spite of the fact that it represents most of the things I disagree with, not to mention being sponsored by the US Army (and Right Guard, which sucks). But the UFC is actually a legitimate sport which is only sometimes more brutal than boxing and a lot more interesting, although it’s always irritating when the good brawls turn into extended periods of large sweaty men grunting and groaning as they roll around on the floor of the ring trying to choke each other. The show is all cheesy heavy metal and those little bios where each fighter talks about how he’s going to break the other’s face, all interspersed with ads for supplements and of course, the US military, but at its heart are cabbage-eared martial arts experts who really do beat the crap out of each other. Which in my opinion is good clean fun.

Regarding this hockey fight thing, in spite of never seeing it, I’m with ya: it’s stupid. Like you I have never seen a hockey fight that did not involve the standard recipe of holding on to your opponent’s shirt with one hand while giving and receiving a flurry of blows to the face. Hockey fights aren’t about who is better, they’re about who can take the most shots to the head. Come to think about it, kind of like heavyweight boxing. With costumes on. Wearing skates.

Nah, not diggin it.
