I asked my husband this question once; he said those cups are annoying, so they need lots of adjusting. Maybe Mannys cup fits worse than most, or he is just more sensitive than some guys. Lots of players fiddle with theirs, too, not just Manny.

I would have loved to see Danny Greene K.O. mundine.Danny seems to be from the "old school", a Rocky type of fighter who just keeps on grinding away at his opponents. Mundine's a great fighter, his natural ability, his fitness, gets him through,BUT,his mouth lets him down. If there is nothing good to say about your opponent, say nothing!I don't know what made him wear that ridiculous outfit to the weigh-in, but he looked like he just stepped out of an old Al Capone movie, a pimp, straight out of the brothel.Bad losers are pathetic but loud mouthed winners are worse!Mundine was the better boxer on the night but Greene will always be a better man!

Why? Because, you huge wuss, the only way a real man wins a boxing match is to beat up the other guy until he can't stand up anymore. For a very long time, this was literally true. Prize fighting was simply hitting, biting, gouging, anything short of the use of weapons until the other guy gave up. The first rules were pub rules, and were put in place to lower the chances of a boxer getting killed. For instance, when a boxer was knocked down, his\nopponent had to stop hitting him. Each knockdown was called a 'round.' However, this rule was soon exploited by boxers taking a knee as soon as they got tired, at their leisure, and ending the round so they could catch their breath. \n\n\nIn 1743, Jack Broughton, the English champion, drew up a set of rules that became at least moderately accepted. Chief among these was the addition of "two Umpires, who shall absolutely decide all Disputes that may arise about the Battle." These disputes were not about who won or lost, which was still determined only by giving up, or a boxer not being able to return to the fight within 30 seconds of being knocked down, but about the new foul calls Broughton introduced, namely whether a boxer had "hit his Adversary when he is down or seize him by the ham, the breeches, or any part below the waist." You know, protect life first, the family jewels second.\n\n\nThe Broughton Rules were superseded by the London Prize Rules in 1838, but really these were only modifications and standardizations, such as ring dimensions, giving a boxer a little more time to "come up to scratch" at the beginning of the round, and making it the responsibility of the judges to determine if a man was truly knocked down to end a round, or if he had just taken a knee to gain his wind, which was considered a foul. Still,\nknockouts and crying uncle were the only ways, short of being kicked out by the judges, of losing a fight.\n\n\nIn 1867, the London Amateur Athletic Club drew up a new set of rules, including mandating boxers to wear gloves, limiting rounds to three minutes, disallowing any contact besides punches (i.e., wrestling holds), and declaring a boxer who could not stand within ten seconds of a knockdown the loser of the contest. The LAAC got their rules endorsed by John Sholto Douglas, the Marquess of Queensberry. These rules eventually won out over the London Prize\nRules for a couple of reasons, among them the celebrity endorsement by the Marquess, the appeal to the audience of the increased fight pace, and the use of gloves, which reduced the risk that a boxer would die in the ring.\n\n\nThe boxing community was slow to adopt a uniform set of rules. In 1889, John L. Sullivan defended the heavyweight title by KOing Jake Kilrain in 75 rounds under bare-knuckle rules, Ike Weir fought Frank Murphy to an 80 round draw in a featherweight tiltle fight, and Chappie Moran won a 10-round decision over Tommy Kelly for the first bantamweight title. Sullivan, weary from his fight, declared that, from then on, "The Marquess of Queensbury Rules\nmust govern [my fights], as I want fighting, not foot-racing." In 1890, London's Pelican Club, the quasi-official governing body of the boxing world, adopted rules similar to Queensberry's, with the modification that a fight could last no longer than 20 rounds, for the first time codifying the emerging practice of having the judges score fights in which there was no obvious winner. Significantly, the Moran-Kelly fight was in Brooklyn, under New\nYork laws which prohibited fights longer than 10 rounds, necessitating judges to determine a winner if neither fighter was knocked out. Eventually, this came to be thought of as an acceptable arrangement by other governing bodies of boxing, again, because boxers were more likely to survive the fights. From 1911-1920, New York fights, and pretty much all American fights, were fought under the "Frawley Law," which not only restricted

well they can't keep there fitness up-the body uses the same enzymes to break down and excrete alcohol as it does to break down lactic acid. when there is alcohol and lactic acid in the body the alcohol is the priority for the enzyme so the lactic acid will remain in the system not to mention it is a diaretic(increases fluid loss so rehydration will take longer affecting muscle recovery greatly). All that said if they only have a glass or two it shouldn't have enough of an effect to hinder their recover but it definitely doesn't help.

Street talk has it that half boiled eggs give men sexual vigour. So, imagine what the men would think if you're seen eating half boiled eggs with coffee late night in raunchy Geylang! ;-)\n\nEaten in moderation, and as long as the eggs are fresh and not infected with salmonella or other microorganisms, and you are not cholesterol sensitive, it can be part of a healthy diet.\n\nNew insights into the fatty foods/heart disease connection reveal that in people with normal cholesterol metabolism it's not cholesterol that clogs arteries, it's foods high in saturated and hydrogenated fats. There is a small proportion of people who are termed "cholesterol sensitive," because their blood cholesterol levels rise when they eat foods high in cholesterol. In the great majority of the population, the amount of cholesterol in the diet does not affect blood cholesterol, since cholesterol is manufactured in the liver regardless of whether or not you eat it in a food. Saturated fats (and factory-made fats, such as hydrogenated ones) are far greater problems than dietary cholesterol, and compared with some other foods, eggs are not an especially high source of saturated fats. (Egg white is almost pure high-quality protein: so if you are a cholesterol- sensitive person, skip the yolk and eat the white.)

Cruelty is the wrong word here. It would imply that the boxers themselves don't choose to fight, which is the case sometimes but rarely.\n\nUnfortunately, to the lowest denominator, boxing is only appealing for its brutality, but for most fans it is more than that. Boxing is about being in top athletic condition, using natural talents like speed and using intelligence in the ring. It is both a sport and artistry. Many fans, myself included, love a masterful defense as much as a good offense. A great display of athleticism without punches landed may not sound like boxing to you, but it's something any true fan would appreciate.\n\nI understand your concerns about boxing, though. There are a lot of injuries and sometimes even deaths incurred in this sport. However, this is due to lack of regulation - fighters not being required to pass necessary tests before getting in the ring, inexperienced officials, matchups of different level fighters. These are things which need to be addressed to improve the safety of the fighters.\n\nI do know the risks that boxers take when they get in the ring, and I was recently very affected by the death of Kevin Payne, but I don't think that's any reason for the sport to be banned - just better regulated.\n\nBoxing is the purest form of competition, a test to see who is the better fighter or athlete. It should not be personal. In fact, hate or other personal feelings interfere with a boxer's performance. It's about testing your ability against another fighter whose athleticism you respect.

Chew gum continuously for two hours. Boxers do that before they weighted they can loose two kilos as the water go to pee. But, you'll get it right back after you drink again.

Because we give the gift of life. And every month an egg drops, and if it isn't implanted with semen, then we bleed(to death?). I wish that just once, a man would get a period, then they would see how it feels. They would probably die...lol. :)

Maybe he knows that his weight will always be on the edge and doesn't want to risk being overweight.\n\nThen again, maybe his body is really ripped and he's using the opportunity to show the opposition as an intimidation ploy.  He's already got you thinking about it, rather than wrestling itself.

spanish ham... and i'm not kidding but likes sunny side eggs with white rice (he doesn't eat the yellow part too). And he doesn't drink alcoholic drinks because he doesn't like the taste (well besides the champagne when he gets a podium or a win)

its called drinking some water, getting some multivitamins before you drink, not mixing drinks (like wine and beer and vodka all together), and having genetic resistance (its in your family). also, there are certain food your should not eat.
