Boxing can be a great sport to watch if there are two closely matched

Boxing is the only "sport" I enjoy watching. Dad was a LA GG champ, and
I boxed as a kid and into college before it was outlawed as an
intercollegiate sport in my freshman year, and being so trained, later
for fun and profit in the wilds of Oz.

Watching hobby league baseball in Kew Beach Toronto with a cold beer
on a Sunday afternoon, with random dogs stopping by for a scratch
behind their ears, kids with squirt guns, french fry truck, live music
in the background... that is 'spectating' at its finest.

I used to love to watch minor league ball. When stationed in Fort Bliss,
TX I went most evenings during the summer to watch the El Paso Sun Kings
play.

I detest MLB since it got populated by a buncha asshats who walk to
first base instead of trying to beat the throw.

Then, as a certified 'Petrol Head', I go check out the Top Fuelers at
Grand Bend MotorPlex once a year or so. Something about the smell of
burnt fuel and rubber and that unreal noise.......

I was briefly infatuated with Grand Prix racing as a kid, but I'd rather
be a participant that a spectator in any endeavor.
