Adrenaline.  Pump-up action.  Blood and sweat.  Bets and gambles.  Women and sex.  These are the normal decorations to a boxing match and when the match at hand is one made in heaven (or hell?), the stakes go higher and the atmosphere, whether in the pre-fight primers, on-the-fight gallery and post-fight reviews, is nothing short of electric.

There, however, are so many cases in which fights extend outside the boxing ring.  The fight between fans of a pair of prizefighters goes on especially in the Internet.  Visit some boxing sites and you’ll have a glimpse of the kind of “brutality” being practiced by die-hard fans.

A case in point is that of Manny Pacquiao’s fans and the followers of Marco Antonio Barrera.  Things are getting worse in the exchanges in the websites of the two boxers.

Just a piece of advice.  We can get hot in the battle, but we can get rid of senseless words such as “eat your mama”, “kick your ass”, and some more obscene and offensive language.  We can argue better with our minds more than with our mouths.  Boxing is not just a game of sheer physical power but of sharp and witty wisdom.  The best boxers have the best intelligence in the game.  The fans should have nothing less.  Tone down your words, guys.

Was there ever someone who said, “Boxing is for animals”?  NONE.
