Dee Tillman 904 5/30/13   The art of Boxing Vs. MMA Late in round third Juan Manuel Marquez, is still playing around this fight is scheduled for four the minute round. OH!!! With the strong right hook his opponents Manny Pacquiao hits the mates 10……9…..8.the ref calls this fight done and Juan Manuel Marquez wins yet another fight by way of knockout. The crowed is cheering this bring me to the assumption that the fellow Americans now enjoy the brutality that is now sport. Also the evolution of; MMA (mixed martial arts), the various fighting styles, the difference between the art of boxing and MMA, and even the retaliation of those whom may have bad sportsmanship when the loss or vice versa. The history of boxing traces back to ancient Greece, where it was part of the Olympic Games. It experienced a revival of popularity in the 18th century in bare-knuckle form, but it wasn’t until the Marquess of Queensberry published rules in 1867 that boxing took the form we see today. A boxing match is not a brawl or a street fight. ( [|__http://www.findingdulcinea.com/guides/Sports/Boxing.pg_0.html__] ) There are rules in place to designate a winner. Keep the match interesting for fans and reduce the chance of serious injury to the boxers. The rules vary in some ways between amateur boxing and pro boxing. Before a major match, a rules meeting is held in which the entire rules particular to the upcoming match are explained. Some of those rules are, Strike below the belt, Strike when an opponent is down on the canvas, Kicking, Strike with elbows, forearms or the inside of the hand (slap), Head butting. ( [|__http://www.howstuffworks.com/boxing.htm__] ) little do some people know there are a lot of people that take the art of boxing very serious, because people make money and lose money betting on the matches. for instance a lot of you may not have heard of the brutal attack in retaliation of Manny Pacquiao getting knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden. The new reported that two key members of his team allegedly assaulted Getty Images photographer Al Bello because they were angry that Bello was shooting pictures of the fallen fighter. ( [|__http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/boxing/manny-pacquiao-aides-allegedly-attacked-photographer-brutal-knockout-005405170--box.html__] ) With that all being said i want to no then how was MMA form from this sport that has so many rules and standeds. To begin this i want to say that mma was no evolved from the art of boxing. Martial arts originated in East Asia more than 2,000 years ago and have since grown to about 200 individual types practiced by about 100 million people worldwide ( [|__http://www.findingdulcinea.com/guides/Sports/Martial-Arts.pg_03.html__] ) then once some one brought it to the US it was not at populor as today. when it was first brought to the U.S it was in the form of bare knuckle boxing when the two people(mainly males) would fight until someone was knocked out or someone stopped the fight. Then later was evolved in which a person decided to try it with gloves and add more rules to prevent the massive injury rate.([] ) media type="youtube" key="5v0vl6iTlC4?feature=player_detailpage" height="360" width="640" But the way the ratings are going for MMA it appears the fellow people have change over time and is getting more and more into the way of enjoying someone else getting beat to the point of hospitalisation and find humour and excitement it this. Finally, I thought that mixed martial arts was an evolution of the art of boxing. when in fact after i did my research was completed I noticed that the art of boxing was an evolution of MMA.I think this is a result of the evolution of gore among our youth and in a way that the values as people have changed over time. Also people have found the world of violence more common the not at time. The styles of fighting are more complex when it come to MMA compared to the “sweet science.” So I hope you have learned just as much as i have from this research.
