It reminds me of speed golf.
Do you play that on a bus that can't drop below 55 mph? Or a boat... wait that is just silly.
It doesn't make sense to me, the two sports are so far removed from each other, I wonder what type of spectator it will draw, maybe just family of the competitors.
I wondered the same thing. It might be amusing to watch once but to keep going back? But "can't knock it till you've tried it"... so it looks like I won't be knocking it. ;)
Yes you are correct, I have however never seen chess boxing, here by us, in South -Africa.
Have a look at combat juggling. So funny.
Oh my gosh! It's real. Thank you. Seriously. Thank you!
I couldn't stop watching. It's so unnatural to try and screw up someone's juggling.
Very interesting! Two sports that can not be anymore different combined to form a unique spectacle.
A unique spectacle indeed!
Incredible. Now we can combine two totally different things. The possibilities are endless...
Are you a George Carlin fan? He had a great idea involving roller skates...
Kind of like "Progressive" music. You can make "Progressive" anything by finding ways to slam different ideas together. Fun post.
I tore my ACL slamming things together back in 1995... I think it was to "Thieves" by Ministry.
This is so cool!
Yeah it blew my mind. What a crazy way to come up with a sport... from a comic book.
I'm not much good at chess and have no interest in boxing, but I guess it shows some boxers have brains, or that you shouldn't mess with since chess players
I will never step to a chess master again. What if he is also... a boxing master?!
