Boxing has lost much of the reputation it had during the Mike Tyson regime. But numerous insiders believe that tomorrow's Manny Pacquiao versus Shane Mosley battle will fire up fight supporters like no bout in years. The two highly skilled welterweights will put the smack down Saturday, May 7, and 8 p.m. Eastern on Showtime Pay Per View. To get tickets this late, you might have to take out a short term loan

What great exercise! I got a lot more out of this than I imagined - it was run like a circuit class, where I spent 2 minutes on each exercise before moving on to the next - including skipping, sit-ups, shaddow boxing, pad work and sparring.
I never appreciated quite how fit boxers actually are, I have a whole new respect for them.
Also, I have come to appreciate that sparring is essential to learn to fight. Although I think my technique and form is pretty good (having practiced forms of martial arts in the past), when it came to sparring it all went to peices, arms swinging everywhere!
I am definitely going to keep this up, and also look for other classes where I can increase my sparring practice as I think this is where I will learn the most.

And I think boxing is a great way to do this, as will teach me the technique, but will also give the experience of sparring for real.

Great way to keep fit and get in shape
