by Owais Tabassum: Ah, boxing! The Sweet Science, The Fight Game, The Noble Art – the greatest sport of all time? Let’s explore this idea.

Boxing gave birth to countless tales, charming myths, deep -rooted traditions, cinematic copies, and captivating literature full of stories of salvation, tragedy, courage, stability, and sometimes frank madness!

This ancient Greek sport was born around 600 BC, as the competitors wandering around each other with hands wrapped in leather strips. By the time when the Romans got a wind of this, they presented gloves with thick metal studs and nails to collect the skin (of course they did). Boxing became a fascinated event, as the “Baghilist” and a culture of celebrities that were rampant even two thousand years ago.

However, the fall of the Roman Empire witnessed a decrease in boxing from large cholesterm to yard in the Middle Ages and the back alleys. Boxing all but disappeared during the Middle Ages.

The revival of this sport was brewing in London, England, during the eighteenth century. Pugilists compete with bare joints, fighting for money and fame, and they give the era of the “Fighter Award”. Boxing has gained support for the upper classes, and in some cases, kings. This sponsorship helped raise the state of sport and its legitimacy.

But boxing was still brutal without mercy.

Consider this. The tallest boxing match in history has played between Andy Bowen and Jack Burke in a hot and wet field in New Orleans 1893. The battle lasted 110 qualified rounds for 7 hours and 19 minutes. It was announced that there was no competition because any of the boxers were unable to continue after the eleventh round.

Fortunately, the nineteenth century witnessed a adaptation to the “Qinsbury Rules” presented by Marquis Qinsbury at the time (which was sent, through a lawsuit, Oscar Wilde for his work in reading prison)

The bases of Qinsbury were inserted into lined leather gloves, tours were divided into three minutes, and the days of attacking the opponents who fell on sadistic gloves were. The sweet flag was born. Strategic tactics encouraged calculated defense, smart actions, and the idea of ​​thinking about outperforming opponents, which brought new dynamics to a previously monochrome relationship and brutality.

Weight classes have been created, the regulations and bodies slowly have been resolved on the corruption -controlled corruption attacks, and to ensure the British boxing control council, the safety and well -being of the fighters.

Historically, boxing events had a kind of magic that attracts a spectator aside like movie stars, singers, world and social leaders.

When the Irish sensation was fought by Barry McGagan during the problems in his homeland, Protestants and Catholics Union are under the same ceiling and on the ground TV. Barry’s message was clear: “Leave the fighting to McGuigan.”

Mane Bacoyao, outside the Philippines, will fight, and the loud streets of Manila will stop. The law has reported huge declines in the crime.

Muhammad Ali, the sporting character in the century and perhaps having the most famous name and face in the modern world, fought in the world, and the inspiration of humanity everywhere he went.

Take a trip via Fair Ground Tough Man/Hammer Strinting Games today and you will notice that artwork is spreading with British great pictures such as Henry Cooper and Frank Bruno.

Retreat

2000s witnessed a decrease in this sport. Boxing has shrunk in popularity due to expensive PPV attacks in evil hours. The pre -Islamic promoters prevented the best from competing against the best, and a number of “alphabet titles” disturbed those who are already world champions.

The year 2000 also witnessed “UFC” or “mixed martial arts” with an astronomical height in popularity, won a large part of “fighting fans”, and it was easy to know the reason. The events were amazing, and the best that fought better by politics as it was run by one ruling body.

the future

However, boxing is going through a new appearance in an unlikely alliance with Saudi Sports Minister Torky. TURKI has ambitions to see the best competition with the best as no account is avoided in providing high -quality events with

Promotional videos directed by “Guy Richie”. Fighters are salaries with great wages, captivating fighting cards are assembled, and many “monotheism” attacks are made. It seems that all major boxing promoters make up a group of Avengers boxers, making current and future competitions. Of course, it is not without its critics, and the time will be determined if this is amazing at the end of this sport.

Modern championship episodes are 12 rounds of length, a strict drug test, and the integrity of competitors is very important. The popular base is still strong. Boxing gyms in all parts of the country support the misleading youth and inspire hope in potential athletes. Women boxing also flourishes. I ask you to drown any biases that you may have, watch the Katie Taylor event, and to be surprised by the skill and the displayed technical ingenuity.

The feeling of pride in this historical sport lives through the next generation of competitors and heroes. Boxing may really be great again, and I will continue to be an eager observer.
