Boxing
Definition:
Boxing, also called prizefighting (when referring to
professional boxing), the sweet science (a common nickname
among fans) or the gentleman's sport (used mainly in England),
is a
sport and
martial art
in which two participants of similar
weight classification
fight each other with their
fists in a
series of one to three-minute intervals called "rounds". In
both
Olympic and
professional divisions, the combatants (called boxers or
fighters) avoid their opponent's
punches while
trying to land punches of their own. Points are awarded for
clean, solid blows to the legal area on the front of the
opponent's body above the waistline, with hits to the
head and
torso being
especially valuable. The fighter with the most points after
the scheduled number of rounds is declared the winner. Victory
may also be achieved if the opponent is knocked down and
unable to get up before the
referee
counts to ten (a
Knockout, or
KO) or if the opponent is deemed too
injured to
continue (a
Technical Knockout,
or TKO). For record-keeping purposes, a TKO is usually counted
as a knockout when calculating the total knockouts. A TKO can
occur at any time.

Amateur
"The
word amateur has at least two connotations. In the
first, more widely used manner, it means someone
performing some task without pay, in contrast to a
"professional" who would be paid for the same task. In
this sense, labeling someone an "amateur" can have a
negative connotation. For example, amateur athletes in
sports such as basketball or football would not be
regarded as having ability on par with professional
athletes in those sports." Source:.wikipedia
Professional
"A
professional works to receive payment for an activity
(as a profession), which usually requires expertise and
carries with it socially significant mores and folkways.
That is to say, behaving professionally would indicate
that the person's actions remain in accordance with
specific rules, written or unwritten, pertaining to
behavior, dress, speech, etc. By extension, the
adjective professional can indicate that someone has
great expertise or skill in a craft or activity."

Boxing
Kickboxing refers to
the sport of using martial-arts-style kicks and
boxing-style punches to defeat an opponent in a similar
way to that of standard boxing. Kickboxing is a standing
sport and does not allow continuation of the fight once
a combatant has reached the ground. Source:
