In modern times boxing though known to get out of hand at times is basically a safe game with rules and regulations to protect the boxers. Back then the game continued till one of the opponents was declared dead. Also instead of boxing gloves the game was fought with metal spikes and fists.
Both amateur and professional boxing requires the use of gloves, without the spikes, as well as a computer generated score that determines the final outcome of the match. Head gear specifically designed for the sport of boxing is also a safety requirement. Boxing, however, remains one of the bare bones hand-to-hand combats that still exist today.

Boxing has seen many boxers who have emerged from the ranks of amateurs and gone onto become great names such as Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Leon Spinks, Floyd Patterson, and Oscar De La Hoya.
There are some differences between amateur and professional boxing matches. The pros fight for anywhere from four to fifteen rounds, with the average being twelve. Amateur matches consist of three rounds.
Boxing winners are announced by the judges who make the final decision as to how many points each competitor has. A knockout, however, will be an automatic win for the boxer who throws the final punch, providing that his opponent is unable to get off the mat after ten seconds.
People of all ages can participate in the sport of boxing. Many people learn to box so that they (1) have a unique source of exercise, and (2) can work off the stresses and worries of everyday life.
Men however, continue to be its main fans watching each match with bated breath from their respective armchairs.
