Now 4give me 4 being picky but how can this be OK?  Boxing of any kind is legalised assault 


The first-ever slap fighting competition to take place in Scotland has been cancelled following a health warning.

BritSlap/SlapFight UK was due to hold the event at Glasgow University Union (GUU) on Saturday evening as part of a wider weightlifting meet.

However, a leading expert on brain injury said it was "inconceivable" the bouts should go ahead due to the elevated risk of concussion.

A spokesperson for the student union said the event had been cancelled "in discussion with organisers".

Slap fighting began in Russia and expanded into Eastern Europe and the United States after going viral on social media.

Unlike in boxing, MMA and Muay Thai where there is a defensive element, here competitors exchange forceful bare-handed blows to the side of the head without defending themselves.

The winner is decided either by knock out, a points win or a stoppage by a medic or referee.

I’ve seen this, my son showed it me a couple months back.
One contestant actually passed out after being slapped so hard.
Not my thing I’m afraid. ☹️

Legalised assault....... disgusting, originated in Russia and the Balkans.  Apparently.  Sort of says it all.
