Tired of watching boxing, MMA fighting and wrestling? Well, here is a new sport for you- slap fighting. In the second video, one of the fighters actually gets knocked out!
I wonder if Will Smith was the inspiration for this new sport? I think that Chris Rock should enter the competition. It looks like he can really take a hard slap.
While I agree with the mentality of "boys will be boys" and not interfering with it when others do it, I just don't like the idea of combat "sports," the idea of two people squaring off to pummel each other, for ME. As someone on Twitter observed, I believe, the potential for concussion in slap fighting is kind of high. But, one thing I found out from an old-time cage fighter: when you are in a fight, for the sake of your knuckles, use your fist on the body, but your palm on someone's face/bones.
I hope not. Some of the super-big guys doing this over in Poland, Russia, etc. come to mind. But, they also have armor and shield-and-swords fighting over there. It is so weird to see two guys pummel each other with a sword in a ring. Example: They very often use the shield as a weapon.
A body shot against an unprepared Harry Houdini killed him. Another sport I'm not going to line up for.
