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.
