ZEEKA few words about Boxing

The sport of boxing started when two individuals engaged in a fight using their fists. The Greeks are believed to be the first to formalize the sport during the Olympic Games in 688 BC. During the Roman era, the sport of boxing became increasingly popular and boxers wore leather bands around their fists for protection. Some of these bands contained metal strips that caused significant injuries to either opponent.
After the fall of Rome, the sport was not as popular, but was revived in the 18th century when James Figg held the heavyweight title for over 20 years. In the Industrial Revolution the game was known as the workingman?s sport with matches resembling street fights, rather than an organized event.
In 1773, English born Jack Brought on became the second heavyweight champion. The bouts became more organized at that point and rules and regulations came into play. Hitting below the belt was banned, and matches were decided using the point system. The bouts were held in a ring with spectators sitting around the squared off area - much like today's fights.
Today, boxing competition is divided into a set number of rounds, three minutes long with a one-minute rest period between each round. Championship bouts usually last for 12 rounds, but there is no real governing body,

rules vary from state to state in the US. Judges determine the winner using scorecards as the fight goes on. There is a referee who determines if illegal moves are made or if a fighter is too injured to continue the match. In some cases, the referee calls a "knockout" when an opponent has been knocked down or knocked out.
When you are training to become a boxer there are a few very important pieces of boxing equipment that every boxer needs. Whether you have a huge training facility and many different trainers, or you are working in a sweat shop by yourself, you still need these basic pieces of equipment to hone your skills. These different pieces of boxing equipment are a heavy bag, a speed bag, boxing gloves, a medicine ball, and a jump rope. If you have ever seen a training facility for boxers, you will see all of these pieces of equipment there.
A heavy bag is very important, because it is almost the same size as a real person, so you get a good idea of where you need to land your punches. It also absorbs your punches very similarly to a real person, so you start to get an idea of how it feels to punch someone. The heavy bag also helps to develop punching power, which will be needed to win a fight. A speed bag is very important, because it will teach you rhythm when you are punching and it will also give you much quicker hands. If you can keep a speed bag going for an extended period of time, then you will be able to have quick enough hands to jab your opponent through their defenses.

Of course the most important piece of boxing equipment is your boxing gloves. You need to have boxing gloves to protect your hands, and also to be allowed to box in the United States. Another very important piece of boxing equipment is a medicine ball. Most boxers use a medicine ball to build up stomach strength while doing sit-ups. Stomach muscles are very important for a boxer, because they tie their upper body to the lower body, and also allow them to take punches to the mid section better. The final piece of boxing equipment that all boxers need when training the jump rope. A jump rope will give a boxer stamina and quickness so they can continue to fight during a long match. The quickness will also allow them to be able to move out the way of punches much easier than other boxers. All of these pieces of boxing equipment will allow a boxer to be the best.
