If done in the United States, the episode would start with the bloody history of America and how minutemen and frontiersmen used their boxing skills to fight the British and Native Americans. They would go to a solid boxing gym and learn how to throw a cross, which they would relate to the reverse punch they learned in Japan as it showed a CG rendering of a guy getting hit in the face. Some ridiculous math would show that a cross can deliver enough force to shotgun someone's teeth through their spinal cord. At some point you'd have to do the segment about ancient barely practiced precursor to civilized sport boxing. In a secluded salle where men still practice bareknuckle boxing in a two person kata like way with very light contact sparring sometimes. And everyone sports mustaches and crazy 1800s sideburns for some reason. They demonstrate the seize and fib with CG guy punching the face as arrows and equations flash by. Then you'd head off to the police or special forces academy where cadets learn to defeat terrorists with overhands and shovel hooks. Maybe someone does some 52 blocks somewhere in the mix, and some kind of wild haymaker is demonstrated, which Bill says he likes because its so powerful and he can really put his weight into it. He demonstrates on a focus mitt and doesn't put his weight into it correctly, but it makes a loud pop and they do that camera shake with a boom sound to make it look like he hit so hard the earth shook. Chambers does a light exhibition match against a NABO champion, where they lightly fight to a draw.

I think they need a TKD/Taekkyon episode. They could also do Kendo, capoeira, maybe Internal MA, Sport Jujitsu. If they did Boxing I would hope it was set in England.
I think they already have a Ninjitsu one planned, right? After that I guess they will be scraping the barrell for ideas. Maybe they could go back and look more indepth into the differant styles of Karate and Kung Fu. -

Man, what was up with the Cambodian episode? The episode was fantastic until the final match. I've seen newbie sparring sessions with more intensity and heart. If for some reason they aren't allowing/allowed to go all out, then man up and say so. Don't try and narrate that **** with a straight face.
