Saw a piece on Chess-Boxing on ESP today

I remember thinking about one day how it would be great to have something that combined fighting and chess or I had that inkling of thought. Today, I heard on ESPN how Chess-Boxing has become prevalent. Were they box one round and play chess. Somebody from the site who posted a response to my post on www.chesscircle.net gave me this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_boxing

I was wondering if anyone here has seen a few of these matches.

Well that's interesting, chess and boxing. By round seven, you'll be moving the horsey diagonally and the big pawn vertically but not horizontally.

There's a chess bxing website: http://site.wcbo.org/content/e14/index_en.html
