Its funny because I was talking with a friend of mine the other day about it. I like boxing and I enjoy watching it on TV. I don't watch it for the blood and violence but for the moves.

I don't like boxing (Just not my thing) however I don't judge others who do. It's funny because some people will not watch a violent movie but they go hunting every weekend.

Comments: Its called a "Sport" For a reason because the competitors understand that its not a battle for death or violence but just competition. I tend to agree with what Elder has said, as Mormons we cannot live in a 'perfect' bubble.
