How do you feel about chess boxing?

It's a international sport that is getting kinda popular over there. Here is a video.

Personally, I like this WAY better than regular boxing. It switches things up and it actually requires intelligence. Also, I find it kinda funny that after a boxing match, that one of them is bleeding while playing chess, just kinda funny IMO. What is your opinion on this actual sport?

I'd be down to watch this, but with a small change. Take Starcraft 2, which by itself has great  spectating qualities and mix it with the very physical sport of boxing and I think you've got a match made in heaven or whatever other cliche you can think of that means an awesome time for everyone.

Not bad! It's actually quite interesting! However, you are probably not going to get professional chess play and a professional boxing performance, since it's hard to train to become a grandmaster at chess and a professional boxer at the same time.

I don't know... Why play a game without plot? Seems pointless to enjoy something simply because of the mechanical and competitive aspects. It's almost like an addiction.

Oh wait, that's totally stupid.

Rah, I'ma give it to ya, with no trivia, raw like cocaine straight from Bolivia. My hip hop will rock and shock the nation like emancipation proclamation!

@Slaker117:

Because you need either A, massive amounts of strategy in gameplay for the game to actually be good or be intelligent enough to have a story which can give it a great amounts of actual brainpower to actual use.

Not sure what to think of this...might be hard to find player who are great at both boxing and chess. Interesting none the less thou.

amm that will be nice !

Actually, boxing requites quite a bit of intelligence and strategy.

Chessboxing is an awesome Wu-Tang track.

Maybe now people will stop thinking chess is a primitive and brutal sport.
