i love
rugby. i follow it obsessively, i check up on all the results going on around the world, i watch on internet streams cos i don't have sky, i'm usually at a game every weekend... most often my club Richmond, but also some England games and Saracens/ Quins/ Wasps games.
Football is ok... I follow it and i watch the itv champion's league games. I hate how they're all such f***ing girls; that they all, to a man, need to roll around all over the floor when they fall over and act as if they've been shot. At the same time when it's played well it can look like a ballet and be one of the top spectator sports.
I like
cricket... but only First Class and some forms of 20/20. I can't see the use in one day cricket and have no interest in it at all. 20/20 is great fun to actually go and watch, and I go to one Middlesex game a year. Don't really care if England lose to Stanford's team at it though.
I love
boxing, because there's so much chat before the fights which adds pressure and tension to them. Prince Nasseem was a legend, just watching how arrogant he was then he's go in the ring with his hands by his side, dance around insulting his opponent, skip the punches thrown at him, and then throw a flurry that all made their mark. Also ratings obviously for Lennox, Hitman and Calzaghe. But I've got high hopes for David Haye, and in a few years James DeGale will rock it. They've got the gift of the gab needed to make it big, and are outstanding boxers.
I like
UFC also but it's not covered too much over here so I can't follow it too much. I'm mainly interested in Michael Bisping. There was some guy fighting with PRIDE called Genki Sudo who was incredible, his fights were like a dance, completely confused his opponent:
Genki Sudo
Athletics is great too, mainly the sprints which I can't get enough of.
Men's
tennis is alright as well, i thought the Federer vs Nadal Wimbledon final 2008 was the greatest sporting contest i've ever seen.
