Cricket is a great sport, can be boring to watch, but if you know whats going on its ace, 5 day cricket is the purest form of the game as well, and the best.

F1, i love it, races are crap these days though.

Darts, ill watch it if its on, wont go out of my way to watch it though.

Boxing, i never watch, dosnt interest me, i hate fighting in all manors, sport or not, and its usually on stupidly late anyway.

EDIT - And Formula one is a sport, the forces them drivers are put under going around corners, constantly hitting 3 or so G's around most corners, for 70 laps, and the cars are incredibly hot, ffs, F1 drivers are some of the fittest athletes out there, but because they sit in a car its not a sport.

OTHER EDIT - I would say darts is a sport, yes nearly all the players are stupidly overweight, but its more a sport of skill then pysical endurance.

[QUOTE=Squirrel;15085410]You could trivialise any sport like that; F1 is just driving cars, football is pushing a ball around with feet for 90 minutes, cricket is standing about catching a ball for 5 days, golf is hitting a ball across a field into a hole, tennis is hitting a ball over a washing line etc[/QUOTE]

They're a bit different to boxing though. Those you have mentioned are skilled competitions - boxing is punching another man until he is unable to stand up.

[QUOTE=ChodaBoy;15085317]My brother met Amir a few times before he became famous. Dont really care though, boxing is just legalised fighting[/QUOTE]

You may say that, and I'm not defending the fact that Boxing is a hideously brutal game, unworthy of the title of sport to some, but a lot of skill and drive go into it, it's not like two guys scrapping outside a pub.

for boxing you need stamina, strength, agility, speed, co-ordination, balance and good reaction time. these make it a difficult and definitely skillful sport

[QUOTE=rocknrollstar5;15085673]for boxing you need stamina, strength, agility, speed, co-ordination, balance and good reaction time. these make it a difficult and definitely skillful sport[/QUOTE]

True that, but in essence, it is just two people trying to punch 10 shits out of each other.

Just dosn't appeal to me.

You need to be in peak athletic condition to be able to compete in boxing or any other contact sport.

[QUOTE=Untitled;15085691]True that, but in essence, it is just two people trying to punch 10 poops out of each other.

i know, i dont really like the sport but it is physically demanding unlike pubs games. though pubs games are well good to play and watch:chug:

I agree that boxers need to be skilful, athletic and all the rest of it. But I can't appreciate any of that because the boxers are using these skills to try and knock out another person. Maybe that's what the other people saying they dislike boxing mean.

boxing on the ps3 is hard :upset:

UFC > boxing

UFC is really boring =/

oh look two men hugging each other on the ground

Nah man, UFC is the tits. You've got it all wrong.

BOOOOOOM

J you watch wrasslin ffs!

UFC isn't bad. Matches where people get knocked the [size=2]fu[/size]ck out are sweet.

UFC is just brutal, its not really a sport. we should leave that **** to americans. let them kick chunks out of each other, it'l make for a better world maybe?

man falling off ladder > normal fighting.

even if it is scipted to ****

oic UFC is actually pretty brutal, when I watch it usually they just roll around for a while.

Brutal slam in that, around 57 seconds.

You say UFC is brutal, but it's actually incredibly technical. Nowadays you get a great mix of Martial Arts. It's such a misunderstood sport, really gay that it's just portrayed as "two people beating the hell out of each other".

A fight will be stopped, [b]when either fighter cannot intelligently defend themselves[/b]. You are not allowed to stomp on the ground, elbow directly downwards (sideways elbows are fine), fish hook, eye gauge, really just sensible stuff. No blows to the back of the head as well.

fookin neck breaker!!!
im sorry but any sport where "no eye gauging" has to be made a rule is just violent. funny to watch though, i'll give it that

It didn't "have to be" made a rule, it just is a rule.

You're not allowed to kick people in the head in football, it doesn't mean that there was abundant head kicking at one time.

Unless you're that guy who broke his nose in that ladder match lol.

Yeah, I don't like watch UFC PPVs. I just watch the good stuff on internets.

lol

who was the guy that got his nose near enough taken off with a ladder

fair point. it did used to be a pretty violent sport though. im really pissed off with the way footballers have turned into complete pussies nowadays. try coming to play for my local team, the captain got his leg broke on saturday and he needed the air ambulance. it was not a nice sight

Football has some nasty injuries. It used to be a lot less controlled than it is. Nowadays, whilst clearly the violence is still there, there's so much more technique involved.

Anderson Silva, the black one, has unbelievable technique. He gets the other guy (Rich Franklin, also an excellent fighter) into a Muay Thai grip, and notice how Franklin is totally at his mercy, Silva dictates his body shape, making it hard for him to do any damage or get loose.

yeah i guess it is a very technical sport. that guy sliva? knocked the other one out just using his knee!

Broke his nose actually!

tastey, we had to do something a bit like that in school a few years ago called self defence where you just get taught how to batter your mates. its fookin class

I don't know actually. It was still hilarious when it happened.

it was a major wtf moment

Joey Mercury, its was him! hurrah for Google.

So guys, guess what movie I'm downloading.

This is so going to rock.

*Suck dick.

Although [I]Flight of The Living Dead[/I] is a genious name.

It looks crap, but it will probably be better than all of those Frat Pack movies put together

Well of course it looks crap. That's what makes it so good. It's not a paradox, trust me.

Snakes on a plane was so bad it was good.

kinda

If you can find it, I strongly recommend Ninja The Protector. When you look for the best-bad film ever, this has to be it. I've probably mentioned it here before, but its so incredibly hilarious I couldnt breath through the laughter it caused

erm........COMMANDO!!!!! thats the best bad film ever

So I got my exam results in.

English - B
Maths - C
Information Systems - C
Physics - D
Chemistry - D

Not good. I'm really gutted with myself tbqh

You know, you just made me s[size=2]h[/size]it myself but then I remembered my results aren't out for another couple of weeks.

I forgot about results day tbh.

But then I'm fairly confident so I'm not too worried.

[size=1]saying this is going to come back and haunt me on the 16th[/size]

I'm in for Us and Ds

That sucks man.

I'm expecting ABBC, if I get less then that messes up some of my plans for university.

I'm retaking pretty much everything except music, which I think I did well in. If not, I'll retake that too.
