Boxing or Kickboxing?

[Vuk]

The one time I boxed I detached my retna

Now I just carry knives or clubs, I have no use to prove my manhood in a fight, I'd much rather cause serious brain damage than do some antquated mating ritual in which the strongest survive

So are you saying then that boxing is impractical? Also, I hate to clue you, but a knife or a club may not do you a heck of a lot of good if you do not know how to use them (esp if someone gets you from behind).
