Nothing to do with the movie, just rhetoric about boxing

I grew up watching boxing, but never loved the game. When I was a child, I ate lunch at my uncle's house, and every Friday at noon, everyone would eat at the CCTV5 boxing competition. In a few years, I was able to name the top fighters in the world, but I didn't even know the basics about the body, head, body, and head that the film said. And I don't like light heavyweight the most. The scene of punching to the bone always makes my heart tremble, not to mention the scene of spitting out the braces full of blood, and I always feel that there are a lot of KOs in lightweight competitions, and I can’t get up when I look down on the ground. To sigh for a long time.

Let me give you an example. For a while, the court always put on a short video. There is a clip of Ali lighting the torch. Every time I see that scene, my mother will feel emotional, look, how terrible boxing is, look at Ali's shaking Yes, it must have been too many blows to the head back then. xxxxxxxxxxxx (thousands of words omitted). That's right, that's the basic view of boxing as a non-boxing fan, brutal, even terrifying.

But I think I can understand the spirit behind boxing. Like all sports games, you don't think about the benefits of this game. If you are a sports fan who doesn't gamble, winning or losing a game is not as important as the mood of the groceries at the door. Behind the game is not friendship, but winning and losing. This is the soul that supports the game. Pure, no distractions, want to win. Whether it is for the players standing on the court or the supporters who cry off the court, they stand together with this belief. I always have a friend who tells me I fucking miss him. That's the feeling, whether it's too fucking wanting you to win or too fucking wanting someone else to win. all the same. This is something that competitive play can give in its own unique way.


There is one game that I always remember, and that game was voted the second best game of the year. The first place of the year is because of a reversal of a very beautiful uppercut to achieve KO. These pseudo-boxing fans like me can't see any way. I can only tell you about the second year of the year. I can't say all the names of the opponents on both sides. That game was too intense. Both faces were bloodied. But they all swayed and persisted, fell down and fought again, fell down again, and got up again. Neither side really took advantage. At that time, I thought how could they still fight. In the end, the coach of one side couldn't stand it any longer and threw a white towel. Immediately, the boxer fell. The other side, with a few fists, was also helped down. I thought at the time, oh my God, I can just throw a white towel, if I were a coach, I would have stopped playing long ago, and I would be dead if I continued. Now I can understand that they are all just trying to win without any distractions. This idea supports everyone. As a coach, he supports his fighter and believes in him. If you give up the fight when you encounter difficulties, then boxing loses its meaning. The charm of boxing is that the conflict is fierce, and people love him with a pure wildness. So a boxer and coach who loves boxing is not willing to destroy it. Every trainer yells when a boxer goes down, stand up. Every fighter doesn't give up a fight easily.

Some people may say that I simply cannot understand this feeling of wanting to win. They will say, what can boxing bring, what is the point of two people fighting like crazy, what can football bring, what is the point of 20 or so people trying to get a ball into two nets, what can gymnastics bring? Come on, what's the point of a guy jumping over an obstacle or pulling two rings. What boxing can bring, like other competitive sports, is the thrill of challenging a certain limit of human beings in one's own way. And boxing is more direct and wild. When one person becomes the King of Fighters in the world, it means that in a certain field, 6000000000 people will be resigned. In a certain field, he represents 6000000000 people as a symbol of the limit. That's what we can go crazy about.

Even in the movie, even knowing the winner, dare you say that you don't have the heart of the moment

PS I love Bell to death, can I not toss him
for a while, a mechanic, a Batman, an American mental patient, a fighter
, or a perfect figure or a real drug addict. Bell is really a model of professionalism, but I said, director, can you stop tossing him.
