/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On January 30 Armenian boxing championships
semi-finals were held in the Sports-Concert Complex after Karen
Demirchyan. 100 sportsmen from Yerevan and Armenian different regions
take part in the championships. As the chief coach of the Armenian
national team Rafael Mehrabyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net, after the
championship ends the national team will be formed.
Before the European championship we will take part in 3 international
tournaments in Bulgaria, Chech Republic and Yerevan, Mehrabyan said.
Finals will be held on January 31 at 3:00 by Yerevan time.
Boxing is a combat sport in which 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. There are three ways to
win. Victory is achieved if the opponent is knocked out 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. Although fighting with
fists comes naturally to people, evidence of fist-fighting contests
first appear on ancient Sumerian, Egyptian and Minoan reliefs. The
ancient Greeks provide us our first historical records of boxing as a
formal sport; they codified a set of rules and staged tournaments with
professionals. The birth hour of boxing as a sport may be its
acceptance as an Olympic game as early as 688 BC. Modern boxing
evolved in Europe. In some countries with their own fighting sports,
the sport is referred to as "English Boxing" (e.g. in France to
contrast with French boxing, or in Burma with Burmese boxing and in
Thailand with Thai boxing). There are numerous different styles of
boxing practiced around the world. Boxing does not allow kicks like
the styles above.
