Boxing in the

Philippines
What is boxing?
Boxing is a worldwide sport
that consists of two men or
women fighting with their
fist.
 It’s a combat and martial art
sport that one referee
supervised the match.
Every round only has three
minutes.
 There are only three ways to win in this
sport. If the fighter is knocked out and
unable to get up before the referee counts up
to ten seconds its called knockout or KO. If
the fighter is too injured to continue to fight
then its called technical knockout or TKO. If
there is no stoppage of the fight before an
agreed number of rounds, a winner is
determined either by the referee’s decision
or by the judges score card.
How is boxing cultural?
Boxing in my culture is
known because we have
three famous boxers like
Manny Pacquiao, Ana
Julaton, and Pancho Villa.
 There are many Filipino
supporters in boxing. They
are proud of that because
they represent their country
and bring home the
champion belt.
 Boxing in my culture means
a lot to all of us. Its very
important because my race is
not really known in some
sports. But in boxing we are
well known as Champions.
