Boxing Fanatic
Posted on December 1, 2008 - Filed Under Anime, Things I love |
I’d never liked boxing before. I thought it was such a brutal sport. I hated watching two people hitting each other. But this changed when Filipino boxers started to conquer international boxing rings, especially when Manny “Pacman” Pacquaio started to show his boxing prowess to the world. I’ve watched Pacman’s matches because I love to feel this sense of unity with my fellow Filipinos in rare occasions such as this one. Aside from that, I just saw two people hitting with each other.
Just recently, I came across this wonderful anime entitled “Hajime no Ippo“. Yes, you’ve guessed it right. It’s a boxing anime! By watching this anime, I have learned a lot about boxing and boxers. I was so ignorant. I just thought that whoever has more powerful punches and whoever has more stamina, wins. I never thought that boxers have to have strategies. I never thought that weight control could be so tough that boxers have to starve themselves just to reach the required weight. I never thought that boxers need to have a lot of determination and discipline. After watching this anime, I now have more respect for boxers.
A few days more and I’d be watching the Pacquiao-De La Hoya match (through live feed, of course). Well, at least I could now identify which boxing style Paquiao and De La Hoya will be using. I think I could now identify the types of punches they’re gonna throw. I’m now aware that when a boxer leans or embrace the other boxer, that’s called “clinching” and why it isn’t illegal. This time, I’d see boxing in a different light.
