Boxing
"Boxing requires much stamina, speed, strength, and believe it or not, strategy."
By Starr Stansberry
Throughout history, people have been trying to find ways to vent their anger. Some take their anger out in football games, some take anger out in a peaceful way, like through art. Others go for the violent way, taking off, which is to fight another person without warning.
When two people get angry enough, they fight each other. Eventually they put on some gloves, get a person who can make sure it doesn’t get too bloody, gather a couple of people around, and fight in rounds. The regular person would call this boxing.
Boxing has been around since there were gangs in New York. Back in the day, they didn’t even use gloves. They would just roll up their sleeves and get it on. Anyone can box, from little kids to people in their fifties, from boys to girls. Most fighters are boys, and those boys all have to be in shape and fit for all twelve rounds, which last three minutes each.
Boxing requires much stamina, speed, strength, and believe it or not, strategy. One must outwit as well as outmatch their opponent. Many boxers have pushed themselves beyond their limits to beat all others, to become the greatest.
There have been greats in the history of boxing. There are Muhammad Ali, Bernard Hopkins, Oscar De La Hoya, Sugar Shane Mosely, George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Felix Trinidad, and Roy Jones Jr. All of these men have beaten all others to get on top- to get that golden belt that only one holds and everyone else fights for.
