Boxing Facts

Did you know in boxing your not allowed to punch below the waist or you charged losing a point? In Ancient Rome the fighters were usually prisoners trying to win their freedom back while fighting with NOTHING but gloves. Matches usually ended in death.  In amatuer boxing you must wear everythign a pro boxer wears but with a tanktop and headgear.  Boxers cant wrestle, spit, trip, or push. You cant headbutt, kick, etc. You also cant grab the ropes for support when you throw a punch. When a boxer is knocked down the other boxer must immediately cease fighting. Boxing is a dangerous sport. More dangerous then UFC fighting because the boxers take so many hits to the head and UFC can wrestle, submit, kick, and etc. Some permanent effects are the parkinsons disease, where you have uncontrollable shaking.
