I kinda agree with "fembox357" (see subject) that it's arguable whether turning out a lot of "mediocre" standardized poses/etc. qualifies as "art" (I hope I read his/her post correctly, if not I apologize for misquoting).
But I come from the "other side" - that I really enjoy boxing (wrestling, catfighting, MMA) stories and think the ones that are illustrated (even better are the "comix") because for ME it's all about the description of the action, whereas art, no matter how expertly rendered, only captures a moment in time.
It would take thousands of pictures to fairly represent a well-written story (of which there are many examples on these boards that prove my point....and many others that do NOT, I admit).
I'm not defending cpunch, because I don't think he needs my defense, I'm merely pointing out that I THINK he's filling a niche in a market that doesn't have enough decent pictorial representations of fights. The other artists fembox357 mentioned are also on my "go to" list, btw.
