Unreferenced date December 2006 Mixed Boxing is a term that refers to a boxing match that features a male boxer vs a female boxer . These fights are rarely sanctioned by any legitimate governing body, and are almost always intended to be a display in erotic exhibitionism. They are usually staged, well rehearsed or otherwise choreographed, almost always ending with a perceived knockout . In production and quality, they are very similar to, and probably originated alongside, what has come to be known as foxy boxing . If these mixed boxing matches were real, and if the boxers were actually trying to hurt their opponent and emerge as the winner, they could be seen in concept as a literal battle of the sexes . However, most of these fights are intended for little more than sexual or erotic enjoyment. Most mixed boxing matches are blatantly one sided, as one opponent is usually beaten or pummeled well past the point of what even a well trained or conditioned legitimate boxer could withstand in a real fight. Usually the female boxer wins by way of a perceived knockout, but rarely the male boxer emerges victorious. Either way, one fighter usually maintains the upper hand throughout the bout, beating and pounding his or her opponent mercilessly. It s important to keep in mind that very few, if any, of the punches actually make contact, but to the spectator at ringside or viewing the fight on video or DVD, the fight appears to be real.

A boxing judge is responsible for judging the results of a boxing match, with as many as three judges typically present at ringside to score the bout and assign points to the boxers, based on punches that connect, defense, knockdowns, and other, more subjective, measures. A boxing match that has not ended in a knockout , technical knockout TKO or disqualification boxing disqualification DQ , having reached the limit on the preset number of rounds has gone the distance and the fighter with the higher score at the end of the fight is ruled the winner. With three judges, unanimous decision s and split decision s are possible, as are draws. Because of the open ended style of boxing judging, fights may end with controversial results, in which one of the fighters may believe they have been stolen or unfairly denied a victory. A draw will result if all three judges call the fight even or if one judge favors one fighter, a second judge s card supports the other and the third calls the fight a draw.

In boxing , a journeyman is a fighter who has adequate skill but is not of the caliber of a contender or Gatekeeper boxing gatekeeper . Outside of boxing, a journeyman is a trader or crafter who has completed an apprenticeship, but is not at the level of a master craftsman. Hence, when applied to boxing, a journeyman boxer implies a fighter who is no longer a novice, and has the sufficient degree of boxing skill that may be expected from a professional, but who does not have the mastery possessed by the contenders. Journeymen will often serve as opponents for young up and coming prospects and will often step in at late notice should a fight fall through. Journeymen are said to have little or no expectation of winning fights against contenders or Gatekeeper boxing gatekeepers , but this does not preclude them from having a winning record against less skilled fighters. ref http www.boxrec.com media index.php Journeyman Boxrec Definition of a Boxing Journeyman ref ref http www.eastsideboxing.com news.php?p 7487&more 1 Eastsideboxing The Journeyman ref In testimony to the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, DeGuardia ref name DeGuardia cite book chapter Statement of Joe DeGuardia author Joe DeGuardia title Oversight of the Professional Boxing Industry Hearing Before the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation editor John McCain pages 46 ... is the fate of many professional boxing boxer s, and that a boxer will realize that he has become ... and Safety of Professional Boxing Hearings Before the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation ... under the Spotlight The Manuel Velazquez Boxing Fatality Collection author Joseph R.
