Question. If you have a count of 30 to end a round, how does the fight end at count of 10? Just curious, I don't know much about these rules. JN322 15:59, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fight Club
"However, some underground bare-knuckle clubs do still exist. Many small venues appeared in the late 1990s and early 2000s, many people cite the movie Fight Club as inspiration for this, but the film does not promote or glorify the 'sport' in any way and despite the movies' title it contains very little actual bare knuckle fighting."
I don't know... anytime you show top movie stars participating in an activity you are "promoting" it. The notion that "[Fight Club]]" doesn't promote fight clubs "in any way" is absurd. The writer didn't see the movie, or has a POV axe to grind. Insertformulahere
[edit] YouTube links
This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed or you would like to help spread this message contact us on this page. Thanks, ---J.S (t|c) 03:37, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fisticuffs History
The history of Fisticuffs is mentioned in the article and credits the sport to the ancient Greeks. Does that not seem more than a little absurd, considering that boxing is perhaps the most basic sport in any culture? I'm not sure if my point is a valiad one, as we are looking for historical evidence, but perhaps this should be mentioned. --Dark Green 23:48, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
