   A boxer after circuit training will lay on his back and put his feet some 
3ft up a wall for 5 minutes. This is what I was told to do anyway, when I 
used to box. Not sure what it actually does, but yeah, it helped.

That is what you do for shock ;)

It keeps the blood supply in the core organs including the head.

   Yes, I remember the coach explaining something like that. Mind you, we
needed it after getting slammed with medicine balls! O.O

"Medicine balls are used by boxing professionals to improve the strength 
of abdominal muscles. This is done by dropping the ball onto the abdomen 
of the boxer, simulating a punch coming from an opponent."

...the HELL??! O_O

So... let me make sure I understand this correctly... you PAY somebody 
to cause you excruciating pain and permanent physical injury on a 
regular basis?? o_O

Oh, wait. Boxing. So you'd have to be brain-damaged in the first place. ;-)

    Well, we didn't pay back in those days, so it was pain FOR FREE!!

     No, not at all, it was a great regime. Circuit training, (and yes, that 
ball did hurt, but it also worked), and a few rounds sparring trying to 
knock the hell out of eachother. Great fun. :)

    Yes, unfortunately for some. It's a tough game to be in if it's the 
career you want to follow. I've been watching and following boxing for about 
40 years now, (jeez, I can't believe I just typed that!), and I've seen 
nearly all the <known> tragedies, well, at least over here in the UK.

    Great sport for a youngster though. When I was doing it, we didn't have 
safety headgear, just a pair of massive well-cushioned old soft leather 
gloves. It would make your eyes water if you copped one on the nose, but 
that's about it. Yeah, it was fun. :)

whoa!  Slow down on the salsa, Tony Manero.  I see your dancing entries 
now almost equal Haskell entries!  Something's terribly wrong! :P

how about some Tylenol?
