Boxing
(sometimes also known as Western boxing or pugilism) is
a combat sport where two participants, generally of similar
weight, fight each other with their fists. Boxing is supervised
by a referee and is typically engaged in during a series
of one to three-minute intervals called rounds. Victory
is achieved if the opponent is knocked down and unable to
get up before the referee counts to ten seconds (a Knockout,
or KO) or if the opponent is deemed too injured to continue
(a Technical Knockout, or TKO). If there is no stoppage
of the fight before an agreed number of rounds, a winner
is determined either by the referee's decision or by judges'
scorecards.
