On my first paper in this class I choose to write about boxing. Historically boxing has produced many skilled and decorated athletes. Boxing was known to be a kid’s way out of a bad neighborhood or a recreational sport to relieve stress. Now boxing has lost its depth. My research question is what is the cause for the loss in depth and talent in professional boxing.
This topic interests me because I am a former fighter myself. When I was young I practiced judo and achieved an orange belt. At the dojo that I trained at there was a boxing ring and I was aspired to box. Ultimately my mother would not allow me to box because she was afraid of me messing up my face. But since then I have been interested in boxing. I created numerous fighters on virtual online boxing websites, and I have fallen in love with the boxing franchise Fight Night, formerly known as Knockout Kings. I have dreams of one day getting involved in boxing but it remains a dream for now.
My plans for this paper is to argue that all these new opportunities for kids to play other sports takes athletes away from boxing.
