How long does it take to write an essay, 60 minutes, 2 hours, that’s what I’m going to find out today?
First I need to think of a topic; something I’m passion about or I can relate to otherwise is going to be a challenge for me. After I pick a topic I will elaborate on each point that I mentioned in the introduction paragraph. Each sentence in the introduction will be the introduction to the body paragraph.
Now I will think of the things I enjoy and can relate to such as swimming, boxing, women, money, gambling and more. Most of us grew up playing basketball, soccer, and football. Although these are the most popular sport in America, I believe people should try more individual sports; such as, boxing, swimming and golf. Boxing is consider

However, not to long ago it was a gift and American boxers were one of the most talented. What happen? As time passed, the media made boxing as a poor man’s sport and people became less interested. In the 1960s students were forced to fight one on one it was very common for five year old to fight one of his classmates with gloves obviously. In addition, in the 80s there were more boxing gyms making accessible for people. Although boxing is a dangerous sport I still think younger generation should be more exposed to it. For the past five years, more kids are getting bullied in school and committing suicide because of their lack of confidence. I’m not stating that boxing is the answer to all these conundrum but it can help the community and help students bond more. I rather see two young kids in a ring than one kid getting jump. Boxing is just pure beauty is not everyday people tell you “hey, do you want to box”, you can play basketball, soccer, football, but you can’t play …show more content…
Boxing is looked as brutal but in reality is just what America need more warriors and people who are not afraid to stand up for their rights.

The fact is that every fan wants to see action, not a couple guys dancing around. This is why the UFC is only interested in fighters who are willing to compete and put on a good show. Whether someone pays the money to watch an event in person, or watch an event on pay-per-view, they expect to see an actual competition. If all they see is two men dancing around trying to wear each other out, they are going to start losing interest in the sport. This is what is happening in boxing today. The question to be asked shouldn 't be if MMA is dominant over professional boxing. The question should be why boxing is still legal?The final facet of the two sports I want to discuss is safety. Both sports are sanctioned by an athletic commission that can approve, deny, revoke, or suspend all licenses for unarmed combat. The fight takes place with a referee in the ring, or the cage, with the fighters. Doctors are always on hand as well. These measures

Boxing - a violent cage fight, or a crowd pleasing sport? Boxing is a high intensified sport that can be seen as helping the fighter in life or permanently damaging the fighters future. Many say that boxing is one of the safest sports; however, boxing can leave permanent brain damage from constant punches to the skull. The sport boxing is for managers to earn money while their fighter is in the ring fighting against another human until one gives up, or gets knocked out. A fight could be the end of one’s career, or even one’s life. Boxing should be banned because the money earned does not trump the risk of death, the mixed messages from fighters in the ring confuse the laws regarding assault, and the constant punches to and athletes head leaves permanent damage.

Boxing was integrated, although black boxers were still under pressure to conform to white America’s social limitations. One man stayed true to himself, so that others would find courage to do the same.

In this play, the boxing scene refers to the last part of Act 1 or Episode 5 of the play.

In America sports have become widely popular. Some have even argued that sport can be considered its own form of religion in the United States. Sports have not always been popular and at one time people were skeptical of its benefits. However, many people were coming to America and to fit in they chose to participate in sports. “Sport was an appealing avenue to undermine stereotypes of Jewish men as bookish and weak” (Blazer, 2012).
