ökölvívás

Ökölvívás, also known as boxing, is a combat sport that involves two people fighting each other using their fists. The participants, known as boxers, typically wear protective gloves to cushion the impact of their punches and to protect their hands. The sport is regulated by a referee who ensures fair play and safety. Boxers compete in a ring, and the objective is to score points by landing legal punches or to win by knockout or technical knockout.

Matches are divided into rounds, with short breaks between them. Points are awarded by judges for effective aggression, defense, ring generalship, and clean punching. Legal punches are those thrown with the knuckle part of a closed glove and are directed at the opponent's head or torso, above the belt. A knockout occurs when a boxer is knocked down and cannot get up within a ten-count. A technical knockout happens when the referee stops the fight because one boxer is deemed unable to continue safely.

Ökölvívás has a long history, with roots in ancient Greece and Rome. Modern boxing rules were largely established in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is an Olympic sport for both men and women, with amateur boxing having slightly different rules and scoring systems than professional boxing. Professional boxing is often seen as a more lucrative and physically demanding version of the sport. Training for ökölvívás involves rigorous physical conditioning, including cardiovascular exercises, strength training, and extensive practice of punching techniques and defensive maneuvers.
