the entire history of boxing, i guess

hi you have hands pretty cool right you can hold stuff you can even hold stuff and throw it at the same time you can use your hands to farm food and you can use tools to farm food but faster and you can oh play that back what just happened this guy doesn't have any food so he's taking your food fighting was just invented now everyone is fighting wow this guy looks strong I'll bet you 10 goats he wins against this other guy congratulations you've participated in history's first recorded fist fight probably Society is starting to

Farm in Egypt and other places around the world what if we make the punching thing a proper activity said the Nubians I've got a cow and when it dies it drops leather and if you wrap your hands in the leather it hurts a little less if you punch each other wow that's great then the Egyptians came along stole this concept and shared it with the rest of the world who will win the race first they didn't like to ride so we don't really know what they did good job suan anyways over in Greece rioting was

kind of their thing and also punching each other well they actually likeed the more advanced version of punching each other where you can also grab and throw each other the rest of the world will get this patch update soon wrestling was the most popular sport at the time literally everyone was doing it even guys like Plato and Pythagoras fun fact Plato isn't Plato's actual name it was just his fighting nickname meaning broad shoulder we still don't know his real name anyways bare fist are cool but you know what's cooler big metal swords said the Romans

swiftly taking over Greece but then they realized that fighting each other for fun was also quite cool they saw Greek boxing and thought what if we made this even more violent and thir castus some small metal gloves Des sign to turn boxing from a friendly sport into a murder scene Romans weren't really into civilized Sports anyways these gloves were used during Gladiator fights which were matches literally ended with one of the Gladiators dying fun times anyways the Roman Empire fell eventually and boxing sort of disappeared turns out people had bigger problems like plagues and barbarians

they kept fighting but with swords and Big Sticks people thought they were too good to fight each other with their fists until England trying to be different changed that enter bare NOCO boxing where gentlemen punch each other for fun no rounds no gloves and fights lasted until someone literally couldn't stand anymore ah the good old days James fig becomes the first recognized boxing champion in the early 1700s boxing back then didn't have any official rules no judges referees at this time then Jack broon an average British P of the times also a bar noo boxing

champion had the idea of making this whole baru sport a bit more civilized he had like a seven-step program but people still mostly ignored him he then invented boxing gloves as we know them today but again people just ignored him a bunch of Rich folks came together and said okay no more murder maybe we'll count drowns now the Marquez of Queensbury rules were then accepted by most influential figures of the time these gloves become mandatory now but some people still like to fight each other bare fist let's hope they don't start an underground Club this

guy was like screw this these rules are garbage I want to fight with my bare hands he was pretty popular too so people listen to him he had this major fight against this other guy which he won and became the first ever heavyweight champion ion under the new rules sort of he still F barehanded but then everyone started liking this whole new box and gloves thing and he had to adapt he tried defending his heavy boy title but with gloves against the other new guy and lost wow this must be the best fight of this

Century first triple champ of the world was Bob Fitz Simmons which wasn't really hard to achieve back then a couple years later two guys started to fight each other for the whole day literally this fight lasted 110 rounds which took 7 hours and 19 minutes in round 111 both Fighters didn't want to fight anymore and just called it a wow this really must be the best fight of this Century this was also around the time when weight classes started to be taken more seriously because most of the time it was always the heavier guy that

won the fight it wasn't really about skill but more about more weight equals more power which would often kill someone in the ring or like seriously injure them this guy beats this other guy but turns out that this guy was black and this guy wasn't I'm sure this won't upset anyone sir sir the people are fighting why what happened the black guy beat the white guy what send a new one and that plan failed in historical fight between James Jeff and Jack Johnson which led to a bunch of riots across the US wow this must

be the best fight of this Century for sure World War I happens many of the Future Boxing Champions Were Soldiers during the first world war it also helped the sport because this would happen bro you're doing it all wrong in the US we do this that's not how we do it in the UK you guys do boxing anyways after War the US cre to the NBA no not that one this one get it in 1921 these two guys have a fight sponsored by the guy who owns the New York Rangers which becomes the first million

dooll fight in boxing history the first million dooll gate in boxing history scheduled for 15 rounds for the heavyweight championship of the world wow boxing is really starting to make some serious money I'm sure this must be the best fight of the century it's 1938 a German painter has just been elected as a German president this starts pissing off a bunch of countries who don't really like what he's doing so the US sends its best boxer to fight against the best German boxer trying to show the German who's boss in a huge fight the American

guy ends up defeating the German guy right to the body a left up to the jaw anding is down this really must be the best fight of the century for sure then World War II happens remember that one American guy who beat the German guy in the ring well he just enlisted in the Army to beat up even more Nazis fast forward to the postwar era enter Sugar Ray Robinson he was really good at boxing but he wasn't as heavy as these other guys so he got less money people still liked him a lot so

they said that he was still better than these other guys calm down everyone let's just say he is better for his weight class so if we compare one pound of his him versus one pound of this other guy he would be better right yeah I guess and that's how the term pound for pound was born some guy from Kentucky starts training in some torn down gym don't mind him but he might just be about to change boxing forever he travels a lot around the world fighting for a bunch of titles and starts becoming really popular

he also has a lot of Charisma and the TV loves him he then becomes a Muslim changes his name to Muhammad Ali and starts to dominate boxing after claiming the heavy boy title against Sony Liston everyone else is scared of fighting this guy now I'll fight him says Joe phaser an undefeated heavyweight world world champion oh [ __ ] he's going to fight Ali wow this must be the best fight of this century and after 15 long rounds Ali loses what his first ever defeat don't worry they soon had a rematch which Ali wins they'll

soon have a third and final rematch this will for sure be the best fight of this Century Ali goes on to fight other boxers like George Foreman it was in this fight Ali developed his signature move of standing against the ropes wow what a spectacle maybe this is the fight of the century no because Joe Fraser is now having his third and final rematch against Ali in a brutal spectacle 14 harsh rounds Joe Fraser's trainer throws the towel and calls for the end of the match I think it's going to be over it's all over

Ali has now won the final rematch and comes out as the Undisputed champion of the world it was the closest thing to death I've ever known said Ali after the fight it's now the ' 80s lighter weight classes are starting to get really popular with Legends Like Sugar Ray lonard Roberto Duran and Marvin Haggler lightweights are much lighter than heavyweights so they punch quickly and move really fast which makes the fight much more intense for the audience couple years later a new kid pops up he's starting to get really good and he wants to fight

the big boys he's just 20 years old while these guys are well into the 30s they're also way taller than him nah just forget about this kid oh [ __ ] he just won against the heavyweight champion he's now the youngest Champion ever Mike Tyson was also very good friends with the legend Muhammad Ali in 1988 he went up against Larry Holmes one of the few boxers who beat Muhammad Ali during his prime right before the fight Muhammad Ali tells Mike Tyson to take revenge for him okay says Mike Tyson who then dominates the fight

and wins by a spectacular knockout wow this must be the best fight of this Century everyone is scared of fighting this guy now I'll fight him says Buster Douglas but bro you're not even that good and no one has ever won against Tyson but Douglas just lost his mother and before she died Douglas promised his mom he would beat Tyson in a fight the stakes are high the whole world is watching this fight and after nine long rounds Buster Douglas is done for it's over just give up but the Americo punch in the the 10th

round he actually manages to knock out Mike Tyson bu Landing The Bu look at this he's knocked down for the first time in his career wow this must be the best fight of this Century Mike Tyson's career doesn't stop there though he then goes on to fight a bunch of other Champions like Evander Holyfield a fight where Tyson really took a bite now literally out of Holyfield's ear ending the fir in disqualification in 1992 a young boxer known as Prince becomes a really popular featherweight boxer because because he's always dancing in the ring he's winning

most of his fights by knockout while emoting at his opponents many big names in boxing come back from retirement to fight in the ring again because of financial problems George Foreman came back from his retirement after his manager put all of their money in a stock which collapsed so he fought one last time in 1997 when he was 48 years old for the heavyweight world championship against Shannon Briggs who was only 25 years old remember Holyfield the guy whose ear was bitten off by Mike Tyson he goes on to defend his heavyweight title several times

leading up to the last major fight of the Millennium a much awaited fight between Holyfield and lenx Lewis 1999 people thought the world was going to end in the year 2000 so this must really be the best fight and the last fight of the century but the world didn't end so boxing kept going this guy won all the available titles he got the achievement something never done before and then instead of retiring he kept defending his titles over in the next decade wow what a guy then boing sort of died people were too busy losing

all their money in the stock market or something there were some new world records though like the fastest knockout ever which belongs to Phil Williams his fight against Brandon Burke only lasted 10 seconds anyways boxing was revived in 2015 by Floyd Mayweather in his famous fight against Manny Pacquiao which grossed over $400 million in Revenue the most a boxing match had ever done well this must be the best fight of this new century two YouTubers who are roommates decide to box each other and upload it onto YouTube Joe Weller wins the fight but in the
