  Boxing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boxing, however, probably grew most specifically out of the demonstrations held at the fives court and the tennis court in London in the early 19th century.
In the late 19th and early 20th century, amateur boxing was encouraged in schools, universities and in the armed forces, but the champions, in the main, came from among the urban poor.
Boxing in the 1930s, despite being hit by depression, saw one of the greatest boxers of all time: Joe Louis.

What he also liked about boxing was that the boxer remained dynamic, alive in his movement without getting stuck -- a sharp contrast to what he saw in other martial arts methods,and so apparant in karate tournaments.
The boxing stuff was great for sparring and developing mobility and timing, but when the real thing would come about, where there was no ring and no rules, it would be his wing chun that he would depend on.
Anyway, another advantage to learning boxing is that it enables you to hide your wing chun character, and use it to trap your opponent both physically and psychologically.

Boxing can give you a high-intensity workout that will develop power, strength, endurance, balance, and confidence, not to mention maybe a title shot for the World Championship title.
Boxing workouts incorporate traditional moves in the ring but also a safe alternative to pumping all that iron.
Boxing cross-training also incorporates the ability to improve your overall conditioning, agility and flexibility by adding basic drills, such as jump roping, medicine ball drills, and interval sprint training.

 Cyber Boxing Zone -- News
One common objection to female and cross-gender boxing is that female boxers, not having had access to the extensive international amateur scene and generally coming to the sport later in life, are not as skilled as their male counterparts.
They typically lack defensive and other pure boxing skills, their punches are wide and amateurish, it's no different than watching a "toughman" competition, etc., etc. Accordingly, so the argument goes, while there may be no technical reason not to allow women to fight, there's no reason that anyone should pay to see it, either.
Boxing is in a unique position at this stage of its history.

While believing that a ban on boxing is the ultimate goal, until this occurs, the AMA supports efforts to protect amateu r and professional boxers from injuries, particularly brain injuries, to minimize their occurrence (H-470.984) and to educate the American public about the harmful effects of boxing on the health of participants (H-470.980 and H-470.983).
In fact, death from boxing is infrequent, and the mortality rate from boxing-related injuries compares favorably with other sporting activities.}{\fs18\super 17-19 \par }{\ul \par }{Boxing-induced brain injury may be either acute or chronic.
Whether the tendency for lower baseline performance of boxers in psychometric studies is inherent in the boxing population, or primarily reflects early signs of neurological damage based on amateur boxing exposure, is subject to debate.

I'm sure boxing is very complex, and an intelligent fighter could certainly use it in a street-fighting situation, but you have to realise that in comparison to Muay Thai or kickboxing you have less than half the weapons.
Boxing was designed for the ring, karate was designed for stopping the violance as quickly as possible and that is why its applications are so brutal.
Boxing is best suited to the ring, although a well trained boxer woyuld do quite well but ONLY because of his condition and his punch, not boxing ability which will not take place in a fight.

Boxing and society is the first comparative, sociological investigation of the subculture of amateur and professional boxing.
He goes on to examine the various positions taken in the ethical, moral and political debate over the future of boxing and highlights the need for a more informed sociological analysis of the sport as a significant aspect of world culture.
A major section of the book centres around three detailed case studies of boxing clubs working in three very different national contexts: a ghetto boxing club in the United States; the complex community politics of Belfast, Northern Ireland; and finally, the context within which the world's finest amateur boxers are developed in Castro's Cuba.

Victories are usually achieved by hurting the opponent with kicks to the legs or the head, or using traditional boxing punches, such as the jab, cross or uppercut.
The uppercut (sometimes also referred to as the upper), is a punch used in boxing that usually aims at the opponents chin.
Classic defensive boxing stance is rather ineffective against leg kicks, and fighters are more or less forced to constantly move and counterattack, which is certainly one of the reasons why K-1 fights are seen by many as more dynamic and exciting than boxing fights.
