Yes, I agree that boxing is an uncivilised sport, and all the more unpleasant that, unlike the fight in question, very often someone has to be humiliated for someone else to win. Nevertheless there is a basic human instinct in many of us to fight, (or fly in my case), on occasions, and for those who wish to pursue it as a career it has to be better that it is open, and regulated, rather than go underground. The significant evidence of corruption cannot be ignored, but I would like to hope that in this particular fight the judgement was fairly made by those with the professional capacity to judge unlike myself.
I have to admit that while recognising the uncivility of the sport, I do find myself throwing punches for the Paddy or Patricia while watching the Irish fight.
