Boxing is a sport of combat that involves two players typically wearing gloves as well as other protective equipment like mouth guards and hand wraps are able to punch each other for a set duration in the boxing ring. Boxing for amateurs is an Olympic and Commonwealth Games sport and is a feature in many international tournaments. Boxing is controlled by an official referee in an interval of three-minute intervals, referred to as rounds. The winner may be decided before the conclusion of rounds if a judge finds that an opponent is not able to continue or disqualifying an opponent and withdrawal from an opponent. If the fight is at the final round, with both fighters remaining in the fight in the ring, the scores of the judges determine the winner. If both fighters receive equally high scores from the judge, the fight is regarded as to be a draw. When it comes to Olympic boxing, as there is no way to determine who won by the judges, they award the fight to one of the fighters based on technical requirements. Here is a collection of boxing quotes for those who are dedicated to this sport.
