No. Boxing is a blood sport and should be banned for being anti christian like the gladiatorial games were

>Beating with gloves is same as outright killing opponent brutally

>>563410

That's not a miracle that's just hard work and not being stupid getting rewarded.

>>563486

I strongly disagree…boxing is full of great people and even if it is violent, there are great lessons in it.

You can't be this dumb.

Only 20% of gladiator games ended in death. What is the short and long term mortality rate of people who have their brains damaged from head beating for a living?

>violence is OK as long as it's poor people being paid to do it and I'm watching on my sofa eating popcorn

Just No.

St John of Chrysostom tried to get the hippodrome in Constantinople banned because of violence and hooliganism as well as being a pointless hedonistic waste of resources.

>>563510

Boxing causes massive brain damage especially in the light weight classes, which leads to psychotic violent tendencies and mental and moral impairment. If you want to learn lessons then read the Church Fathers and they will teach you that all violent sports are sinful

>>563520

Learning to defend yourself and boxing technique is good. Hitting people and getting hit in the head repeatedly is really bad.

Learn without doing this or enjoy your brain damage, although it seems that might be too late.

>>563523

God doesn't do "fun" only eternal perfect blissful happiness. Deny your hedonistic bloodlust

>>563529

Your flag says catholic but your retoric stinks of lame middle-aged pastor Jim wearing ugly jeans, doing a rap of Jesus.

Fighting is an art.

>>563410

God bless him.

They're getting paid, they know the consequences, it's what they want to do. Goes for any sport. Enough with the moral faggotry, cathcuck.

Spotted the sodomite sympathiser. Same logic used to justify sodomy and prostitution.

>>563552

Any sport that involves high levels of injuries especially head impacts should be banned or changed to be safer as it is a menace to society

>>563561

Yeah stomping on someone elses achilles tendon with a sharp ice skate or running 25 Km/h into someone sure is more civilized. Boxing has a lower injury rate than most other sports for a reason.

So he gets in a car crash then orays with monks then wins his next game? How is that a miracle?

>>563486

weak

>>563410

Can you post an article or something?

>>563673

No. It would probably be fine if they didn't punch the head. Any impact to the head no matter how small causes brain damage (studies show it is the amount of impacts more than the force that damages). It is incredibly unsafe. Even soccer with headering the ball has been documented to cause brain damage

>>563673

So he was a degenerate then almost dies then stops being a degenerate then gets his title back? That's not a mirical that's just turning your life around.

>>563552

i never understood why he needed a cig holder for filtered cigs. i was under the impression that those were primary used for unfiltered cigs

God bless this lad. massive legend

>>563673

Interesting article, thanks!

>>563695

Yeah, that could sum it up.

>>563838

No gloves = goodbye knuckles

>>563838

I have read this too. Bare knuckle boxing is a hugely safer alternative. Typical America to take a somewhat safe sport, clad it in armour and pump it full of steroids to create a brain damage inducing trainwreck abomination

A miracle is something that could not occur in nature without the literal intervention of God. Being more productive in life isnt a miracle, Christians dont worship Jesus because his preaching helped Peter and Andrew eat better and harvest more fish.

If we follow your logic all those people in prison who get off drugs thanks to Islam are miracle workers for Allah

>>563410

Yes, yes it is.

>puting boxing in the same place as mma

This much of a brainlet and yet so prideful.

>in a ring like dogs

Do you really think boxing is just two guys trying to hurt the other the most?

Boxing is a game. The possibility to get hurt doesnt make it sinful. Of course there is a lot of people using gloves that want just the violence of beating another person, but these people are not boxers.

>>563838

>>563857

>>564026

The gloves are meant to protect the hands, not the head of the opponent. Also, it makes it easier to knockout someone. Those bare-handed fights went A LOT of rounds until it was over, thus causing a lot more of injuries, like broken hand bones and cuts, even when only palm-striking. Rabbit-punching (behind the head) were more frequent also, and those are a lot more dangerous than any punch to the face, with or without gloves. And can you picture being punched in the liver with a bare-hand of an experienced figther? I would like to avoid that at all cost.

>modern day boxing stance is a meme in an actual fight without gloves

Agile footwork in a street fight is a lot more valuable than grappling skills.

>>563857

no its not a meme. There is no real difference

>>564159

>Have fun in the Lord

>Rejoice in the Lord

>It's the same

Fun is hedonism which we are called to deny ourselves of as Catholics. Don't seek fun. Seek eternal happiness.

>boxing is just hitting each other in the head

>like mma

>boxing stance is a meme

>bare nuckle is safer

It's okay if you think that, as violent as it may be, boxing is a sinful sport. And that's a respectable opinion. But there's no need to go around trying to look like you know nothing about it by talking nonesense.

>getting punch drunk is a myth

I'll skip the reasonable doubt phase and go straight to calling you a liar because that's what you are
