Topic for task one

        My paper is going to be on my boxing experience and some of the pros and cons of the sport. some people like to think of boxing as a brutal sport and sometimes barbaric, but that is not the case for the most part. Boxing is a sanctioned sport and actually is very safe if you prepare yourself the correct way. there are many benifits to boxing, good health is the biggest binifit of all because as long as you are in shape and physically fit you can always maintain good health skills that will last for a lifetime. As a boxer myself i can say personally it has effected my life in a positive way because it has taken me to places that i would never been able to go otherwise, Being professional makes it even better because you get paid to do something that you love.
          But then there are the cons to the sport. one of the biggest and most dangerous con to the sport is cheating. I once went to a fight in Las Vegas where there was a fighter who put plaster on his hand wraps (which gets rock hard when wet) and almost killed the other fighter. Another con to the sport is kind of a catch 22, Like i said about the good health and staying in shape, there is always those guys that do it just for the money and they dont like to train and get physically prepared for there bout, that is the easiest way to get yourself seriously injured or killed. I have been in boxng for 11 years and during my time as a fighter i know of 5 Boxers that have lost there lives while fighting, and 3 that were put in a coma.
