what are the rules to protect boxers?

Well, the boxer has to be able to pass a regular physical. After a knockout the fighter isn't allowed back in the ring for x amount of days. They're not even allowed to spar for a portion of that time. If the fighter has been knocked out an excessive number of times, the boxing commission who grants the licenses may refuse one to that fighter. Sometimes fighters are subject to CAT scans or other extensive testing.\n\nThe regulations vary state by state, though. So if a fighter is banned from boxing in one state, he'll still be able to go to another state and get away with it. That's why there was such encouragement to get a federal regulatory commission started recently. Unfortunately, that fell through due to politics. Sometimes boxers can still go fight in another country, too, even if no one in the states will let them.

boxerbriefs or boxers.  Depends on what pants I'm wearing.  I try to make my underwear fit nicely with my outfit so it doesn't get uncomfortable or ride weird.

Actually, title fights today only go 12 rounds, not 15, lol.\n\nThe point of adding so many safety measures is that we really don't want to see people get hurt. All these things help prevent brain damage and other permanent injury.\n\nPersonally, I like the more technical boxing, but these changes have also helped to make fights more exciting for what you want to see also. In the old days, the fights progressed a lot more slowly since they had to keep their stamina up for such extended periods of time. The punches were not as accurate and as such were not as likely to affect an opponent the way they can today. The padded gloves allow fighters to throw punches full force without risking as much injury to their hands. You see more actual fighting than just a bloody mess.\n\nOf course, you have to know what fights to watch. Manny Pacquiao is one of the favorites these days, and there are a lot of great Mexican fighters, too. These guys have action-packed fights that I doubt will disappoint you as much as some of the other action you've seen recently.\n\nIf you want to see unskilled fighters without gloves, though, you can always go to a bar and tell one guy that another guy was looking at his girl funny or something like that. \n\nAnd just because there are some really tough women out there doesn't detract from the sport. Let's put you in the ring against Ann Wolfe, and we'll see how things turn out.  :D

In amateur boxing a point is scored every time the white part of the glove connects with the scoring area, the scoring area is the front of the head and body.\n\nProfessional boxing is scored round by round. Both boxers get 10 points per round. If they are put down, they lose a point, if they are deemed to have lost the round they lose another point. If the judge thinks the round is a tie then they both keep the 10 points. Most rounds go 10-9 to whoever had the best of that round.

It's fist fighting with gloves on.  Bouts are divided into rounds.  The number of rounds depends on the type of fight (pro or amateur). No hitting below the belt, no hitting when someone is down, no kicking, no head butting.  Can be won by scoring of the judges (they decide who wins each round, the one who wins the most rounds wins) or by knockout (which means that a person is hit so hard that they don't return to the fight within the count of the referee).  In some ways it is one of the purest sports but in other ways it much more regulated than other sports (state commissions, licenses required to participate, doctors can stop a fight, etc).

It gives a referee breathing space to make a considered decision on the condition. I am all for the boxer to be stopped too early than too late.

They are required because men make the rules, and if a man needs a cup, so does a woman (even if she doesn't have anything to protect).  Think of it this way, it hurts to get hit anywhere, it hurts a guy to get hit in the chest, but they are not required to get chest protectors.\n\nMy female friends that compete in kickboxing are really annoyed by the idiocy of the rule.  Yeah, it hurts to get hit there, but it can also hurt to get hit in the thigh.

When a fighter gets knocked down he has a 10 count to get back to his feet and show the referee he's okay to continue. Even if he's back on his feet and ready right away, the referee has to keep counting until 8 before he can let the fight continue. That's the mandatory 8 count.\n\nHowever, sometime's a fighter is badly hurt but isn't knocked down and the referee doesn't want to wait to see if he does get knocked down. Instead, he breaks the fighters and it is counted on the scorecards as a knockdown. The referee gives the fighter (who is still standing) a standing 8 count to show that he is okay and can continue. If he's out on his feet, the referee can stop the fight.\n\nThe standing 8 count is no longer in practice, though. If you're watching boxing on tv, it's usually specified at the beginning of the fight that there is no standing 8 count.

Depends on the size of the boxers. Also, wearing tight pants is a no no.

If you love the sport of boxing a male or female can learn to judge and score a fight. One thing is like you said be focused.\nI believe some things get missed but nobody is perfect you counts the hits and misses. One good thing about scoring is you get a break after three minute's.  Someone asks if a woman should box before being able to judge a fight I do not believe this to be true. Focus is the word I just think that is the whole point.

Stance & Footwork \nStance in boxing is vitally important as it sets the platform for all basic punches. \nThe main stance in boxing is the common orthodox stance, which is used when sparring or engaging in bag work. To get into this stance do the following: \n•Stand with the feet hip width apart. \n•Take a single, regular, striding step forward with the left foot. \n•Back foot kept at a 45-degree angle. \n•Shift weight onto the balls of the feet. \n•Distribute weight equally between the feet. \n•Keep the knees bent. \n•Bend elbows and tuck them into the sides (to protect the vital organs). As arms are brought into sides, place fists at cheekbone level, with left hand slightly out, poised to jab. \n•Keep chin down and look up. \n•Roll shoulders forward slightly. \n•Position body partially sideways with left shoulder and hand slightly closer opponent. \nFootwork is equally essential as punches directed at ones opponent will not land if one cannot efficiently get close enough. Similarly, evading the opponents punches will be all the harder if footwork is lacking. \nThe key with footwork is to ensure the body is centered and balanced at all times and that fighting stance is maintained. With footwork, the focus should be on moving backward and forward, lateral movement (moving left and right) and pivoting. \n\nMoving Backward & Forward \nWhen moving forward, push off the back foot and step forward with front foot half a step. Follow front foot with back foot in a shuffling motion to arrive back at the fighting stance. With footwork, the focus should be on moving backward and forward, lateral movement (moving left and right) and pivoting.\nMove backward only when absolutely necessary and try to fire punches while retiring. To move backward, push off with the ball of the front foot, while stepping back with back foot one half step. Follow with front foot, back to fighting stance. \nLateral movement \nLateral movement involves moving/pushing either left or right to evade ones opponent. To move left, push off from the ball of right foot while left foot moves one half steps to the left. \nFollow with the right foot to achieve correct fighting stance. To move right, push off from the ball of left foot while moving right foot one half step to the right. Follow with left foot. \n\nPivoting \nPivoting enables one to quickly change the angle of approach to effectively counterpunch their opponent. Begin by shifting weight to the ball of the front foot; then push off with the back foot to pivot the front foot a quarter turn to the left or right. This should throw opponent off balance and open them up to attack. \n\nBasic punches \nBefore even contemplating sparing, four basic punches need to be mastered: the left jab, right cross, left hook and left uppercut. These punches are designed for the orthodox stance fighter. \nThe southpaw will simply perform these punches with the opposite hands, leading with the right jab. These punches are the bread and butter of boxing and, once mastered, can be put into combinations and used in a sparing context. Remember, in order to successfully learn the following punches, stance and footwork need to be perfect. \n  -Left Jab \nThe most used punch in boxing is the left jab, making it the most important to master. The jab is used primarily to keep ones opponent a distance; to set them up for one of the power shots: for example, the right-cross. \nAlthough the jab is not considered a power punch, it can cause a considerable deal of damage over the course of a fight. \nTo Perform the Jab \n•Stand in boxing stance holding fists in a palms in ready position. \n•Throw punch in a direct line straight from the chin. \n•Once hand leaves the guard position (from chin), rotate fist half and inch. \n•Keep fist relaxed throughout this movement, until just before the point of contact when it is fully clenched. \n  -Right (or straight) Cross \nThe right cross is often referred to as the most enj
