The only sport that might be better than boxing

As you may have figured, our favorite sport here is boxing. However, today I have found something that may be better than boxing:

CHESS BOXING.

Yes, O my brothers. Chess boxing combines the nerdiness and quiet thinking of chess with the awesomeness and fisticuffs of boxing to create a sport that was never meant to be.



Here we have Sebastien "Sergeant" Aubriot versus David "Kampfmaschine" Steppler, who may or may not be related to Von Kaiser somehow.

TL;DW version: French guy defeats German guy. Improbable, yes, I know, but this is chess boxing. It goes beyond the boundaries of sanity and national stereotypes.

So yeah. This is clearly a big step towards Playing Tennis With Dynamite While Riding Bears and that is good. You might think pure boxing is better, Delgado. Then again you're the sort of guy who watches dudes in shorts punch each other, and then you complain because they don't have enough... finesse. Surely including the strategy, deep thought, and snobbishness of chess is way more than enough finesse for you.

Meanwhile, Germany attempts to create a sport that will merge boxing, chess, and alcohol. Oh shit.
