Boxing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Boxing, also called pugilism, Western Boxing, 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". 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. Nevertheless UK Law Colleges currently teach that boxing is an exception to the general legal rule that is almost certainly safe from R v Brown and generally from being outlawed by caselaw/judges (for public policy reasons, that is to say political and social reasons), as long as Parliamentary Statute in the area remains unchanged. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Boxing   (7103 words)

Jesus Chavez vs. Tom Johnson (February 23, 2001) NABF super featherweight champion Jesus "El Matador" Chavez dominated the former IBF's 126-pound title holder for most of the fight and Johnson was unable to answer the bell for the eighth round, in front of 6,500 fight fans on the University of Texas campus. Chavez controlled the tempo of the bout from the outset and Johnson spent most of the evening with his back near the ropes.

Concannon's Corner - BoxingHelp.com Chavez follows McGirt to a corner and fires a combination 20 seconds before the bell, Buddy counters with a hook, the first clean shot of the round, Chavez lands his own counter and Buddy Spins off the ropes. Chavez is an expert at cutting off the ring and closing his man down while McGirt is fleet-footed and almost impossible to pin so it makes for intriguing viewing in the second as each man boxes to their strengths. Chavez picks up the pace again in the ninth and it’s exciting and tough to score, he really digs to the body and his early work downstairs seems to have paid dividends as McGirt is slower on his feet and takes many more clean punches. www.boxinghelp.com /concannon/pastposts/Dream-McGirt_Chavez.html   (1237 words)

Boxing News : Chavez, Barrera and Diaz Show Their Latin Fury The main event of Latin Fury was a bit of a letdown as Chavez pretty much had his way with Gerena, who seems to have both his ability to take a solid punch and his desire to win fight. The two-time world title challenger from Puerto Rico was the first fighter to beat Chavez (early in the Texan's career), but time and some brutal ring wars have taken away much of what made the Boriqua a contender at 130 pounds — his legs and his chin. Chavez, who improved to 39-2 (28), is now guaranteed a shot at the WBC 130-pound champion from Thailand, who he hopes to fight in his adopted home of Austin, Texas later this year. www.maxboxing.com /Fischer/fischer032303.asp   (1331 words)
