Boxeo

Since ancient times boxing has been a sport more boom in the world .In the box participate two person and a referi . It is a sport that needed domain and mental dexterity, and, not about beating the opponent to defeat, but also strategically to avoid being beaten. The history of boxing as a sport dates back to the Greeks, who in their historical games included pugilato, which was one of the most striking disciplines, during the first century of the Christian era. When the Roman Empire reached its zenith military and political, boxing also enters into a development phase.

The Roman wrestlers are not covered fists, as the Greeks, with gangs of leather to protect both fists as the opponent, but wearing the cestus, a kind of long gloves, buttons covered with sharp iron or bronze, which was really bloody fighting. When the emperor of Rome falls, boxing is the same fate.The shows are too expensive and, moreover, to acquire the Church a more prominent role, it eliminated the practice, since it does not see boxing favourably. For this reason, this sporting activity ceases to exist for many years, including as a public spectacle.
