I like this sport, I'm not that good in sports, but I'd like to fight as a professional...
It's an combat sport in which two persons fight in a contest of strengh, reflexes, and endurance by throwing pinches each other, with the goal of a knockout while they are using special gloves, special mouth protectors, special boots, special clothes, etc.
Boxing is an Olympiz and Commonwealth sport and is a common fixture in most of the major international games; it algo has own World Championships. Boxing is supervised by a referee over a series of 1 - 3 minute intervals called round. The result is decided when an opponent in seemed incapable to continue by a referee, is disquealified for a breaking rule, resigns by throwing in a towel, or is pronounced the winner or loser based on the judges scorecards at the end of the contest.
Boxing evolved from 16th and 18th century, again initially in Great Britain and later in the United States. In 2004, ESPN rankes boxing as the most difficult sport in the world.
There are different kinds of punches.
- Jab : A quick, straight punch thrown with the lead hand from the guar position. The jab is accompanied by a small, clockwise rotation of the torso and hips, while the first rotates 90 degrees, becoming horizontal upon impact. As he punch reaches full extension, the lead shoulder can be brought uo to guar the chin.
- Cross : A powerful, straight punch thrown with the rear hand. From the guard position, the rear hand is thrown from the chin, crossing the body and traveling towards the target in straight line. The rear shoulder is thrust forward and finished just touching the putside of the chin.
- Hook : A semi - circular punch thrown with the lead hand to the side of the opponent's head. From the guar position, the elbow is drawn back with a horizontal fist (knuckless poiting forward) and the elbow bent. The rear hand is tucked firmly against the jaw ti protect the chain. The torso and hips are rotated clockwise, turning the left heel outwards.
- Uppercut : A vertical, rising punch thrown with the rear hand. From the guard position, the torso shifts slightly to thw right, the rear hand drops below the level of the opponent's chest and the kness push upwards quickly and the torso and hips rotate anti-clockwise and the rear heel turns outward, mimicking the body movement of the cross. The strategic ituly of the uppercut depends on it's ability to "lift" the opponent's body, setting it off - balance for successive attacks.
