picked up game in 18-22 min

[CRISIS]

Thanks.

Actually, boxing is child's play compared to what these dogs do.

First of all, even world title fights are not 36 min straight. The boxers get 11 one-minute breaks, every 3 min, to regroup, catch their breath, rinse their mouths, get their cuts tended to, etc.
Secondly, there are rules of what kind of punishment a boxer can take and what he doesn't have to be subjected to.
Finally, none of the boxers is really out there to kill each other; they're out there to outpoint, or possibly KO, each other with padded gloves on.

A boxer does NOT have to get his ass rooted in the corner, turned upside down, with a mofo SERIOUSLY TRYING TO KILL HIM FOR REAL IN THE THROAT ... with DEATH as the INTENDED outcome.
A boxer does NOT get rooted in the kidneys, or have his guts pulled out, or have 4 teeth crushed out of his broken face/muzzle/jawbone ... or have to run scratches on a compound fracture ... or with 1/4 his blood supply leaked-out of a bleeder. (Or all of the above ...)

Boxing is actually a joke compared to what these dogs go through, there's a referee to protect boxers from "rough stuff" ... while there is nothing protecting these dogs ... and they get no breaks.

Maybe I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, but it just pisses me off when some wiseguy, who has NO CONCEPT of what it's like to be in a TRULY brutal, life-and-death fight, "scoffs at" the idea that gameness can be displayed in 18 minutes of pure hell, pure lethal brutality, with truly lethal intentions.

What these dogs sometimes have to go through is no fucking joke ... and it is nothing to be scoffed at ... especially by someone who's truly never been down that road themselves. Period.

I agree.... I was more so looking at it as the time comparison, how 8 minutes can seem like a half hour... I agree that not too many (if any) men can go out & endure what these dogs do.

Agreed. And, more importantly, sometimes more true mayhem, decimation, and trauma can be wrought in an :18 bloodbath than in a 2-hr dance.

As boxing legend Jack Denpsey once said, "I can respect a man who only lasts 60 wild seconds with me more than a guy I have to chase around the ring for 15 rounds."

At the end of the day we must take stock of what is actually happening in there, rather than look at our watches.

And it also helps to have some actual fighting experience ourselves ti draw from.
