Boxing Rules

Boxing is one of the sports earliest, which seems quite logical since it is based on two people giving Mamporros. But far from the vision of the gross type media Mike Tyson, boxing is a sport of respect for the rival demonstration of physical superiority, which aims to be the best, do not leave your opponent with a stroke.

Boxing originated in Africa and from there to Egypt, and even in our times, by the eighteenth century, the British were responsible for popularizing it. However, not until 1889 would implement the use of gloves in this sport, so it could be considered a violent sport.

In this year emerged from the Queensberry rules, which required that the two opponents were using gloves, which should last 3 minutes rounds with one minute rest between each, that when a fighter falls you have to start to count ten seconds and forbidden to take, push and embrace their rival.

The rules of amateur boxing (the one we see in the Olympics, with helmet) and professional boxing are the same. You can not do any of the following:

• Hitting the neck or behind the head.
• Kicking the opponent.
• Give back to the opponent.
• Stumbling when rival.
• Hitting below the belt
• Intentional head banging.
• Make use of other objects than the uniform gloves.
