	Boxing - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
		Boxing did not reappear in society until the restoration of the English monarchy in 1660 ushered in a more relaxed moral atmosphere, allowing the sport with a barbaric history to make a comeback.
		Boxing academies enrolled poets and nobles, and outstanding fighters such as Daniel Mendoza, Tom Cribb, and “Gentleman” John Jackson emerged.
		Boxing’s respectability, however, came at a price: With fortunes to be made, unscrupulous business practices and promotional hype increased, as did the influence of racism.

	BOXING
		Earliest evidence suggests that boxing was prevalent in North Africa during 4000 BC and the Mediterranean in 1500 BC.
		The first boxing rules, called the London Prize Ring rules, were introduced by heavyweight champion Jack Broughton in 1743 to protect fighters in the ring where deaths sometimes occurred.
		In modern boxing, the rope-a-dope is generally discouraged since most opponents are not fooled by it and few boxers possess the physical toughness to withstand a prolonged, unanswered assault.

		From the perspective of boxing history, Mexican American identity formation in the evolution of United States culture is less recognizable in terms of a single causal explanation —such as capitalism, racism, or Americanization— but emerges as a multi-causal, interconnected set of processes.
		Herrera's boxing career, from 1898 to 1909, coincided with both the rise of modern prizefighting in southern California and the rise of the "Mexican" hero in the sport.
		Boxing was much more than merely a form of "sport"— it was a complex set of relationships that were themselves part of a larger process of social self-definition for individuals and communities.

	Women's boxing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Women's boxing will not be at the 2008 Olympics, and it is very unlikely to become an official Olympic sport at the 2012 Olympics.
		This might be attributed to the fact that women's boxing, at that period, confronted a society filled with stereotypes and which categorized professions as either 'men's work' or 'women's work', or because most people did not believe they would find the same caliber than in men's boxing.
		During her battle to win the right to box as an amateur, she passed the age of 36, the maximum age for amateur fighters.

	The Ageless Warrior: The Life of Boxing Legend Archie Moore
		But for Moore, boxing was not just a physical activity; it was also a mental one.
		It was not enough to know the rudiments of boxing, its mere physical trappings; Moore had to know the mental ones, too.
		His boxing psychology can be gleaned from his gloss on heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano’s boxing style: "Marciano didn’t know enough boxing to know what a feint was; he never tried to outguess you – he just kept trying to knock your brains out.

		In another fight featuring a popular champion from the 1990s making a comeback, Charles "The Natural" Murray, who at one time seemed to be destined to become a future hall of famer, took on a young prospect in Reggie Green, who was in 1995 the NABF champion of the world.
		Although boxing fans were excited about Johnson early, we would soon discover that despite his talent he was not quite world championship material like Hasim Rahman was.
		He started the segment telling boxing fans "I'm not a guy that's making a fool of myself…I'm not like a George Foreman." But his attention would soon switch from Foreman to Pepeli, whose distain for Holmes was palpable, winking and blowing kisses at the former champion as he entered the ring.

		Boxing, also called prizefighting (when referring to professional boxing) or the sweet science (a common nickname among fans), is a sport and martial art in which two participants of similar weight fight each other with their fists in a series of one to three-minute intervals called "rounds".
		Boxing most likely was invented in various cultures independently and had their origins in man's prehistorical period.
		Occasionally seen in Olympic boxing, the bolo is a punch which owes its power to the shortening of a circular arc rather than to transference of body weight; it tends to have more of an effect due to the surprise of the odd angle it lands at rather than the actual power of the punch.

	U.S. Army Kevin Majors - DefendAmerica News Article
		The Army noncommissioned officer was making a name for himself in the ring at Fort Benning, Ga., in the 1990s, but it wasn't until a motorcycle accident that Majors faced his toughest opponent — two broken arms and the end of his amateur boxing career.
		Two years later, the volunteer coach trains six boxers he refers to as his "core group" at the post gym, as well as a few others along the way who are looking for a hobby or to get in shape.
		Encouraged by the positive impact of boxing on his soldiers, Majors is trying to establish a formal boxing team at Fort Sam Houston for soldiers, family members and Department of Defense civilians.

		It would be hard for any boxing fan from the 1990s not to have some vivid memory of Tommy “The Duke” Morrison.
		Although most boxing insiders will cringe at the thought of Morrison lacing them up again, it may be worth noting that the Duke always did seem to find a way to pick himself up off the canvas whenever he was in the boxing ring.
		Boxing has been a part of my life, it was all I’ve known, all I’ve seen, and it’ll come back pretty easy is what I guess I’m saying.

	FOX Sports - - In time, UFC may TKO boxing's audience
		Kevin Iole, the boxing beat writer for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, has covered every UFC event held in the city and thinks the barriers to acceptance by the mainstream boxing press and public have more to do with the limitations imposed on the major media than the quality of the UFC product.
		Old-line boxing people have expressed little interest in the UFC or mixed martial arts in general, and that prospect is not likely to change.
		They may not be capturing the boxing audience now, but they're latching on to a generation of customers who will eventually make up more and more of the demographic pool.

		That a woman can be a national amateur champion or have an amateur boxing career at all, and that she has prospects for pursuing that career in legitimate professional circles, is a recent development that points to significant changes not only in boxing but in the sexual division of work and play.
		There have been boxing-related fads in women's exercise before, and women have been boxing in earnest on the fringes of the business, since the emergence of modern pugilism,9 but the arrival of legitimate women's boxing in the 1990s is significant not only for the numbers involved but also because it has an institutional base.
		Women's boxing is still an institutional fledgling: like female hockey players, deer hunters, and footsoldiers, female boxers in America have not had many chances to work on their violent craft, but it appears that they will.

		Most of the company's corporate officers have boxing, kickboxing or mixed martial arts backgrounds and the gyms are decorated with signed pictures of top names in each of the sports.
		Hired on as general manager, Yoder said people are drawn to LA Boxing because the training style and approach is unlike anything in boxing and the all-access membership is rarely seen in other gyms or health spas.

		Forget the nostalgia, the simple fact is that from the early to mid-'80's on the boxing mags were crap written by crappy writers...
		If I am not mistaken John Ort tried to start a new boxing publication in the middle 1980s, which was a very decent looking mag in terms of looks, but the rest was pretty crappy.
		Back in the Seventies, Boxing Illustrated had that same story and even included a photocopy of a newspaper article detailing Johnson's valiant effort before a private club audience which ended when Dempsey crushed him in the sixth.

	Quale Press -- Boxing Inside the Box: Women's Prose Poetry by Holly Iglesias
		Boxing Inside the Box: Women’s Prose Poetry is a creative/critical work proposing “women’s prose poetry” as a form distinct from that widely touted as “definitive” in journals, anthologies and critical texts.
		Iglesias believes that the shape of prose poems — a simple box — serves as a powerful metaphor for gender roles that constrain and contain women.
		Unlike most of their male counterparts who produce disembodied, ironic and surrealist prose poems, women write from within this genre-defiant box works that are at once lyrical and embattled, sensual and menacing.

	HBO: Boxing: Event: Arturo Gatti vs. Thomas Damgaard: ARTURO GATTI: HIS FANS CAN'T GET ENOUGH
		Yet while many boxing analysts say Gatti and Evander Holyfield may have been the most exciting fighters of their generation, they are reluctant to call him an all-time great, pointing to his having fought in just six championship fights and winning two titles.
		Boxing historian Johnny Ortiz, a member of the World Boxing Hall of Fame board of directors agrees that wins and loses are irrelevant when analyzing Gatti's career.
		Gatti's first appearance on HBO's new show, "Boxing After Dark" was against Wilson Rodriguez on March 23, 1996, a brutal fight many felt would have been named "Fight of the Year," except that a couple guys named Holyfield and Mike Tyson went at it, also.
