BOXING

 

Boxing is a fighting sport, with two opponents under established rules only with their fists fight. The goal is to get as many hits as possible by the opponent or to knock it out by a knockout. The fighters are usually equipped with padded gloves and must be of the same weight class. The result is decided when an opponent is deemed incapable to continue by a referee, is disqualified for breaking a 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. In the event that both fighters gain equal scores from the judges, the fight is considered a draw (professional boxing).
