Boxing rules and techniques have evolved over time. You can only use gloved fists and throw punches above the waist. The bout is divided into rounds, after which a performance score is given. A knock out finishes the fight automatically.
HISTORY
A sport as old as Greece and Rome, where leather straps were used instead of gloves. Men’s boxing was included in 1951 in the Pan American Games, while women’s boxing was included in 2011.
