I went to see one of the championship finals a few years ago, and it is excellent fun. There are two built-in moments which are bound to be awesome: (1) when the box round is over, tension is through the roof, and the boxers are sat down around a chess board with classical music on, and (2) when two steps before a chess mate, the about-to-lose guy has three minutes to beat out all the smart from the opponent.
Best spectator sport I can imagine, can only recommend to see one.

- mstade 8y agoI can confirm this sport is excellent from a spectator standpoint. I also went to see some championship (I think) fights in London a few years ago and having never seen it before I was very skeptical. After the event however, I raved about it to anyone willing to listen – still do, evidently!
