Terry MArsh - Chessboxing

Former light welter world undefeated champ and very interesting character Terry Marsh is now competing in Chessboxing; a sport that oddly combines chess and boxing.

I don't know much about it but I hear you can either win by KO in boxing or check mate in chess.

Not quite sure how it works, as I imagine top boxers could just walk in and KO the other opponent regardless of any chess.

Anyway Marsh is 57 but looks fit and still pretty useful I'm sure and I remember he was rather bright too. Here he is competing against a 28 yr old.Not sure whether he's allowed to bring his shooter LOL

Didn't Terry Marsh retire because he was diagnosed as having epilepsy ?

Marsh said of his 'bout' with a 28 yr old 50 bout veteran "“To be perfectly honest, I’m expecting to get bashed up and will be relying on the chess to pull me through it,” Marsh told the Standard.

I heard about Chessboxing years ago, although have never actually watched any.

I doubt there's too many boxers that are good chess players, but imagine facing Lennox Lewis or the Klitschkos :o

David Haye was due to take part but he had to pull out after injuring his bishop.

I quite like Pussyboxing. Its quite new but for those who gives a shit about other stupid sports combining sports, if that makes any sense pussyboxing is a little faster than chessboxing or even the new soccergolf! (ffs I cant believe im talking about this shit)

Ok, pussyboxing, right, what happens is 2 boxers fight for 1 minute, then they get 30 seconds to lick a ring card girls pussy.

As this is a sensible family orientated boxing forum I cannot show the pussy in full so I have added a library picture

Image

After 30 seconds each boxer then starts to fight once more, this goes on for 10 rounds unless its an ultimate pussyboxing contest governed by the MBC (Meaty Bald C**t) if there isnt a knockout or a squirt the contest is awarded to the boxer who has achieved a cunnilingus orgasm.

It would be interesting to see how this would work on a highest level. On a lower level strong chess player with good defensive boxing ability must have a big advantage. All he needs is to survive boxing rounds and win the chess match.

Yeah Wlad could go into ChessBoxing and reign as Heavyweight Champion for another 10 years probably.

I just found one of Lennox Lewis chess games. Very disappointing, entry level chess. He would not even qualify to participate in chess boxing match which has requirement of minimum 1600 Elo rating. No wonder he refused to play against Wlad. I have not seen Wlads games but it cant be that bad.

On some John Inverdale fronted BBC show of the noughties he played Steve Davis at speed chess and lost his queen in about 5 moves. They cut away before we saw him bludgeoned.

Lawson's supposed to be quite a good player so no disgrace to lose to him but Lennox' opening was just plain daft

Its not about loosing, its about the quality. Opening was beyond belief. Then he could not see even the most obvious threats. It was under 1000 level play. Funny thing is that in interview he brags about been a chess player and therefore smart. If you play like that in my part of the world you would be barred from playing forever.

You have to have some experience as a boxer, and a minimum chess ranking to compete, though I don't know the details.

He's surrounded by hangers on most of the time whose primary function is to massage his ego. You play on chess.com ?

I genuinely just laughed out loud at Lennox's opening 3 moves. Had he actually ever played before?
