This is related to the Latin “pugnus” meaning “fist” and derived from the Greek word “pyx” meaning “with clenched fist”. From its history first depicted in 1350 BCE in ancient Egypt, to its first appearance as an event in the 23rd Olympiad, to becoming a monetized sport in 17th century England, boxing has come a long way.","What Does “Boxing” Mean?","faq_schema",{"_uid":672,"answer":673,"question":674,"component":670},"13beb58f-7bdd-4ffc-bec3-4004afab1ce9","The so-called “science” of boxing was first explored in 1747 by boxer John Godfrey whose published work, A Treatise Upon the Useful Science of Self Defense, observed that fighting (and pugilism) was indeed a nature-inherited trait that is evident even in infancy. He notes that the science of boxing and the engagement in pugilism are not only natural emotional reactions, but could even be described as “humane”; it takes courage and character to engage in the act, as well as mental fortitude. This concept is far from the “violent” and “savage” acts we usually associate with the term today.","What Is the Science of Boxing?",{"_uid":676,"answer":677,"question":678,"component":670},"9b36e15c-02e1-4ec5-8aef-02108421817b","It wasn't until a half century later, in 1813, that the great boxing author and journalist, Pierce Egan, gave true meaning to the term, the “sweet science” when he referred to the sport of boxing as the “sweet science of bruising.” Egan also came to the same conclusion as Godfrey had years earlier: that fighting (and thus boxing) is indeed an inherited, natural-born instinct and in our DNA. In his series of boxing-related articles titled, Boxiana, Egan observed the resentment that some individuals felt growing up. They felt they had been slighted by society, and as a result, this resentment would manifest into a necessary means of physical retribution. However, through evolution, it was modern Man who was able to check his “coolness, checking the fiery passion and rage” which differed from his ancestors before him, free from primitive actions, thus forming boxing into this “sweet science.” Finally, in 1949, the boxer/author A.J. Liebling introduced the term into modern times and gave credit to Egan. In his novel, The Sweet Science, Liebling writes about the golden era of boxing and the science of boxing as a way of life.\\n\\nWhile Godfrey and Egan may have made a great argument for the actual scientific evidence of boxing and how it may have been directly related to our inherited nature, Liebling took a more modern-day approach to the “sweet science” and how it is perceived today.\\n\\nOne of the best examples of the “sweet science of boxing” that Liebling depicts in his novel is the 1955 fight between Archie Moore vs. Rocky Marciano for the heavyweight belt. Liebling describes the styles of the fighters leading up to the fight. He discusses Marciano and his fighting style as this “nature”-inherited style, and remarks that he should not worry about using defense, as it may “spoil his natural prehistoric style.” When speaking of Moore, Liebling describes his fighting style as “nurturing,” explaining that he was a more cerebral fighter who relied on his craft as a boxer and his intelligence, compared to the more savage style of Marciano. However, Marciano would ultimately be the victor. It was this more in-depth look into the “science” behind the fighters as a modern concept that the term “sweet science” came to be as it’s used today. Now when people hear the term, most associate it as relating to the art form of boxing, the fighting styles, and the boxer’s preparation for a fight.","Why is boxing called The Sweet Science?",{"_uid":680,"answer":681,"question":682,"component":670},"ea20f799-03e3-489d-a1ed-321041134212","These days, the modern boxer is required to not only be savage by nature, but also be methodical, tactical, cunning, and scientific in their approach. Muhammad Ali, the greatest boxer to ever live, may have also been one of the best when it comes down to the science of boxing. Even before he would step inside the ring to fight an opponent, he would get inside their heads, trash-talking in the lead-up to the fight. As a result, a lot of his opponents would begin to doubt their abilities pre-fight, and the outcome usually favored Ali. Another classic “sweet science” Ali moment came when he knocked out heavy-favorite George Foreman in the Rumble in the Jungle using the “rope-a-dope” technique. Foreman wore himself out, throwing damageless punches against a defensive Ali who utilized the ring’s ropes as a backrest. A gassed Foreman was ultimately knocked out in the eighth round.\\n\\nMany other boxers have been able to utilize the “sweet science” to benefit their careers as well. Floyd Mayweather, Jr., perhaps the best defensive fighter of all time with a perfect 50-0 record, is extremely calculating and utilizes the first few rounds of each fight to gauge and understand his opponents’ strengths and weaknesses. He scientifically dissects each opponent mid-fight and the result has always favored him. Lennox Lewis is even quoted as saying that “In boxing, you create a strategy to beat each new opponent, it's just like chess.” And that truly is art in and of itself. The “chess match” between boxing opponents is much more than just two individuals swinging wildly at each other in a square. The finesse, the slickness, the swagger, and the art form, all incorporate the essence that is boxing. It is a science, and it truly is sweet.","What are examples of the “Sweet Science” of boxing?",{"name":534,"created_at":535,"published_at":536,"updated_at":537,"id":538,"uuid":539,"content":684,"slug":534,"full_slug":553,"sort_by_date":48,"position":554,"tag_list":696,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":556,"first_published_at":557,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":697,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":541,"name":542,"category":685,"component":39,"meta_info":693,"block_image":694,"cover_image":695,"internal_notes":7},{"name":468,"created_at":469,"published_at":470,"updated_at":471,"id":472,"uuid":473,"content":686,"slug":468,"full_slug":570,"sort_by_date":48,"position":86,"tag_list":691,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":572,"first_published_at":573,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":692,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":475,"name":476,"topics":687,"component":118,"meta_info":688,"meta_title":7,"block_image":689,"cover_image":690,"internal_notes":7,"meta_description":7},[484,512,539],{"_uid":560,"title":561,"plugin":43,"description":562},{"id":564,"alt":565,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":565,"filename":566,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":568,"alt":565,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":565,"filename":569,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"_uid":544,"title":545,"plugin":43,"description":546},{"id":548,"alt":542,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":542,"filename":549,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":551,"alt":542,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":542,"filename":552,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"name":699,"created_at":700,"published_at":701,"updated_at":702,"id":703,"uuid":704,"content":705,"slug":713,"full_slug":714,"sort_by_date":48,"position":419,"tag_list":715,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":716,"meta_data":48,"group_id":717,"first_published_at":718,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":719,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},"Jeff Turbett","2021-09-10T15:39:27.817Z","2022-02-08T23:27:30.944Z","2022-02-08T23:27:30.964Z",71000021,"556f66aa-ba69-478f-94b7-752150a263c0",{"bio":706,"_uid":707,"name":699,"photo":708,"component":711,"social_link_tiktok":7,"social_link_twitter":7,"social_link_website":7,"social_link_youtube":7,"social_link_facebook":7,"social_link_linkedin":712,"social_link_instagram":7,"social_link_pinterest":7},"Jeff Turbett has trained in boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, and MMA.

Striking Systems - Kickboxing is built on a 4-point striking system (2 punches and 2 kicks), while Muay Thai uses an 8-point striking system that includes knee strikes, elbow strikes, and upper body grappling that’s referred to as the “full clinch.” Because of this, Kickboxers often fight from a distance, while Muay Thai artists move in and out of their opponent’s pocket. \n\n2. Movement - Thai fighters tend to move at a more even pace—their foundational footwork movement is a forward 1-2-3 march called the Yang Sam Khum that keeps their feet flat-footed and their head centerline. \n\nIn contrast, Kickboxers stay on the balls of their feet and bounce and circle around the ring. Kickboxers move in and out of the striker zone at a lightning-fast pace, cutting angles with their footwork to set up and doge attacks.\n\n3. Stance - If a Muay Thai fighter and a Kickboxer are facing each other in a ring (say, in a UFC or Bellator Mixed Martial Arts fight), they’re going to hold their bodies very differently. \n\nThe Muay Thai fighter will be standing flat on their feet, hips facing their opponent, hands at their temples to block strikes. \n\nThe Kickboxer will be bouncing on their feet with one foot significantly ahead of the other, creating a bladed stance that turns the side of their torso towards their opponent. Their hands will likely be a little lower, as Kickboxers fight from a distance. \n\n4. Kicks - Kicks to the body and head are cornerstones of both Muay Thai and Kickboxing…but not all kicks are created equal. \n\nIn Muay Thai, fighters kick by turning their hips and landing with the lower shin. They don’t bend their knee, but rather keep the leg relaxed until the moment of impact, resulting in a powerhouse of a kick that can feel and sound like the crack of a baseball bat. It’s because of this force that Muay Thai artists are trained to check their opponent’s kicks to prevent serious damage to their legs. \n\nKickboxers, on the other hand, hinge from the knee and lift the leg up to strike with the foot rather than the shin. Because pure kickboxing fights are often scored by points, fighters are motivated to deliver rapid-fire kicks that may not knock out their opponent but will rack up points for strikes. In American Kickboxing, fighters are not allowed to throw kicks to their opponent’s thighs or calves. \n\n5. Volume and Pace - Watch even just one round of Kickboxing and you’ll be able to grasp how much of kickboxing is a barrage of strikes. Kickboxers are volume strikers—they strike fast and often, punctuating strike combos with a mix of high and low kicks.\n\nOn the other hand, Muay Thai fighters tend to fight with a more patient and measured style. Many Muay Thai gyms coach a Sabai Sabai mindset, which loosely translates to “keep it chill.” The idea is to slowly wear down your opponent and then when they’re tired, knock them out with ruthless efficiency. \nAt the end of the day, both Muay Thai and Kickboxing are incredible workouts, great for your mental health, and badass as hell. So now that you know what's the difference between Kickboxing and Muay Thai are you ready to try them?","What are the 5 key differences between Muay Thai and Kickboxing?",{"name":534,"created_at":535,"published_at":536,"updated_at":537,"id":538,"uuid":539,"content":1549,"slug":534,"full_slug":553,"sort_by_date":48,"position":554,"tag_list":1561,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":556,"first_published_at":557,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1562,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":541,"name":542,"category":1550,"component":39,"meta_info":1558,"block_image":1559,"cover_image":1560,"internal_notes":7},{"name":468,"created_at":469,"published_at":470,"updated_at":471,"id":472,"uuid":473,"content":1551,"slug":468,"full_slug":570,"sort_by_date":48,"position":86,"tag_list":1556,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":572,"first_published_at":573,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1557,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":475,"name":476,"topics":1552,"component":118,"meta_info":1553,"meta_title":7,"block_image":1554,"cover_image":1555,"internal_notes":7,"meta_description":7},[484,512,539],{"_uid":560,"title":561,"plugin":43,"description":562},{"id":564,"alt":565,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":565,"filename":566,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":568,"alt":565,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":565,"filename":569,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"_uid":544,"title":545,"plugin":43,"description":546},{"id":548,"alt":542,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":542,"filename":549,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":551,"alt":542,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":542,"filename":552,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],"80f43270-bd4a-4ca3-91a4-9a2b1e1d0d6b",{"type":721,"content":1565},[1566,1570,1574,1586,1591,1596,1600,1604,1609,1613,1617,1621,1626,1686,1698,1703,1714],{"type":724,"attrs":1567,"content":1568},{"level":726},[1569],{"text":1535,"type":730},{"type":732,"content":1571},[1572],{"text":1573,"type":730},"At first glance, Muay Thai and Kickboxing can look indistinguishable.

For Boxing, that would be Deontay Wilder and for MMA, Francis Ngannou of the UFC.\n\nWhile there may be plenty of debate amongst the fight community about who throws the hardest punch, currently the nod would go to Francis Ngannou.\n\nBack in 2018, while still on the climb to the top of the UFC heavyweight division, Ngannou visited the UFC Performance Institute where he put his legendary punching power to the test to see how much force his overhand right and off-balance uppercut punches produced. The results were staggering. His overhand right registered an astonishing 129,161 Franklin (f) units while his off-balance uppercut registered 122,000 Franklin units (The Franklin is a measurement of human force taking into account both the power and energy within an impact.) His speed power was measured to be 51.064 ft. lbs/sec which is equivalent to 92.84 HP, or the same as a compact-sized car. Both are still current World Records.\n\nNote: He shattered the previous record of 114,000 units held by Tyron Sprong (K-1).\n\nSo how does Deontay Wilder’s punch fare in comparison? That is often left up to debate. While he has been recorded punching a bar room punching machine (left-handed), this is usually an inaccurate measure of true punching power. There are a lot of people who would love to know exactly how much power he brings in his devastating right hand, but we may never know as there is no recorded event of him striking a PowerKube.\n\nOther fighters who, in their prime, could have been contenders for the hardest puncher of all-time are “Iron” Mike Tyson and Earnie Shavers.","What is power output and which fighters are in the top?",{"_uid":1949,"answer":1950,"question":1951,"component":670},"155cb66e-1a8f-4803-82f4-e59a9c19be35","Looking at pure punching power alone, the top two overall, highest-ever recorded punches were both by mixed martial artists.","When it comes to punching power and power output, who punches harder, boxers or MMA fighters?",{"_uid":1953,"answer":1954,"question":1955,"component":670},"152d00ad-9027-46cd-abf1-5381f9e5fbe9","Some people like to debate who is the harder puncher between the unbeaten Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and one of the best KO artists from the UFC, Conor McGregor.\n\nIf we look at the overall outcome of the match-up, Boxing and Mayweather win. Mayweather was able to get a TKO over McGregor in the 10th round of the bout. The only question is, does this settle the debate? Not quite.\n\nMost people would argue that the only way McGregor would have won the bout would have been if he tagged Mayweather with one of his devastating lefts and dropped Mayweather early on in the fight. However, there is a reason Mayweather has a perfect 50-0 record during his career: his ability to avoid the big hit from his opponents, demonstrating the true goal of Boxing: hit and not get hit.\n\nUltimately, in this scenario, Mayweather is the better boxer. Had both of these men tested their punches on a PowerKube, the results would more than likely sway in favor of McGregor for the most powerful punch. McGregor has an impressive 81% of his fights coming via KO, while Mayweather, who has never really been known for his striking power, holds a 54% KO rate (including TKOs).","Who is the harder puncher between Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Conor McGregor?",{"_uid":1957,"answer":1958,"question":1959,"component":670},"90549745-5064-4c44-a8cf-f09fa0e04275","When it comes to who punches harder between Boxers or MMA fighters, this is still left open to interpretation.
