Boxing is a sport started back in the Egypt in 2nd millennium BC. It is actually bare fist fighting between 2 willing and sometimes unwilling opponents. Fighting had been around before the discovery of boxing. The interests of the Romans made it a spectator sport. They started to wrap leather thongs around their fist. It have 3 minutes each rounds usually 12 but formally 15. The knock-out was introduced in this sport. It is declared a KO if one of the fighter doesn't rise before the referee counts to ten. And the other fighter is announced the knock-out winner. There are different types of fighter and fighting style. Out-fighter, boxer-puncher, counter puncher, brawler and in-fighter. The best in between in the professional world is brawler or slugger. I'm a counter puncher. Slippery defense style fighter who usually relies on their opponent mistakes to gain advantage! Well, this kind of boxer welcomed most in the amateur world. there are plenty of techniques and styles. As I am an amateur boxer, the steps that I love doing are, stance: upright crouch. Punches: jab and uppercut. Defense: bobbing and blocking and the least over cutting. Also I love counter-pointing. Upright crouch means the spread out position of yourself before the match starts and over cutting is the most difficult and irritating move in the history!There is usually a square ring but exceptional organizations like the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) usually prefers the Octagon, an eight cornered ring with is best. There is this boxing hall of fame which had been a part of me since I was young. The Hall of Famers and my all time favourites like Henry Armstrong, Sugar Ray Robinson, Ricardo Lopez, Benny Leonard, etc made me believe that boxing is just the starting of a life.
To be exact, I am a huge and gigantic fan of wrestling. Wanted to be a wrestler since Dave Bautista debuted! Cause that was the time I got what all those fight meant. But the it was kinda crushed by some unwanted company. So I started again and rather than making it a dream this time, I made it a hobby. A hobby with a new identity. 'member my first injury, interacted muscle on my left foot. It was pathetic but bearable. And also had a crush on my coach which still is on! ADVICE: If you are thinking of boxing and is a female, choose the one with the old coach or female coach! Cause a single fighting won't be done first 20 days. There is only one organisation for amateur boxing, International Boxing Association. Also for professionals. But the incontrovertible is that, I don't like to fight with women cause it is always nasty and hair pulling in the middle of a match! Hate that thing! Hence, here I am with a dream of accomplishing both writing and boxing and staying single! Just kidding! Life can be hard sometimes and you just gotta play the way it wants you to play. And in the ring, "Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee!"-Muhammed Ali. Legend immortal! ;-D
