Final Punch Of Quest



From Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts I have learned a lot about the sport of fighting. I still haven't hit it all though because their is more types of fighting out there. From my thirty day quest I have seen that many people have deeper meaning of fighting. Some of the fighters do it to make their lives better like Manny Pacquiao who ran away at the age of 14 to work. This was to help his mother and let his bother finish school. Before he left he was living in poverty not really having a house. Today he is one of the richest people in the world. Some one asked him in a interview if is his children would box he replied no because he said he wants more for his children and he keeps boxing out of his family life. Other then fighting to make life better some fighters do it for pride of their countries. Juan Manuel Marquez in every fight represents Mexico. He gives his all taking a punch to give a punch is pretty much his philosophy sometimes winning and sometimes losing but in the end giving his all. I might never find out what the main reason behind why people go in the world wide sport of fighting but I know that fighting is a lot heart then violence.

Mike Tyson Of Welterweight



Considered one of the best welterweights but yet to really prove hes the best. I consider his style of boxing to be similiar to Mike Tyson but with his own style of fast movement. Andre Berto is undefeated with 26 wins under his belt. Out of those 26 wins 20 of them came by knockout. What makes me admire this boxer is his pride for his country of Haiti. He dropped out of a fight with Shane Mosley just to help Haiti with the earthquake that it was envolved in. When he did this it showed that he cared more about his fans then the money or the history he could make. When I think about what kind of heart Berto has, it makes me wonder if maybe the world would be better if we just stop and give a hand. The hand that we would give everyone might branch off into a tree of kindness to just be able to live in a world with no war but with peace and love.

Near the End

Wow! The quest is almost over mine wasn't as hard as other people's quest but it changed my views on certain stuff. One of the things I do is judge a fighter by what he does in front of a camera instead of seeing what he truly is underneath. Example is I always hated Rashad Evans but after see him coach ultimate fighter he was more heart felt then anything. He was for the people he trained instead of wanting to win the show. He likes to see the sport of Mixed Martial Arts grow. He is the big talker but in the end thats all just entertainment to get pay-per view sells.
