Fists Up: LA Boxing Pres Challenges Chris Brown to a Duel

Love / Shove post by Kelsey Wallace on February 19, 2009 - 11:49am; tagged Chris Brown, domestic violence, duels, masculinity, MMA, violence.
Anthony Geisler, President of LA Boxing, is dealing with Chris Brown's arrest on criminal threat charges in true eye-for-an-eye fashion. Geisler started a Facebook group earlier this week called, I Want to Fight Chris Brown. (At the time of this post the group had 1,528 members and counting.) He also sent a letter to Brown's manager challenging Brown to step into the ring with him and "see what it's like to face a real opponent."

Is this type of a reaction helpful in any way? Or is it just violence begetting more violence? Share your thoughts after the jump.
