Boxing Gloves impact us today Presenting: BOXING GLOVES BY: Kevin rowland and Bishop nance Boxing Gloves In modern days boxing gloves impact in a positive\negative way.

The boxing glove provides the person wearing it to teach themselves and practice self-defense or entertainment when boxer fight with boxing gloves. Negative: Injuries somehow gained from participating in boxing that can affect the person later on. How Boxing Gloves are involved with Science, Technology, Engineering and math (STEM) Boxing gloves have changed the way of not killing someone in hand-to-hand combat and to protect their hands. They are also fashionable too, they come in different colors and design if you want some on your boxing gloves. In the old days we killed people for entertainment, now we just knock people out for sport and to learn self-defense. This has made humanity to be more defensive and efficient in close combat. The reason why boxing gloves are made so boxers won't have to fight bare handed so it can protect their hands and knuckles from getting injured when they are punching a punching bag. In boxing matches the opponent will get less hurt from a swing because of the boxing gloves, they can be hard or soft, light or heavy but have no chance of killing their opponent, they will just get knock out. (K.O.) The purpose of using Boxing Gloves The Evolution of Boxing Gloves Boxing Gloves Change Humanity In 1743 the inventor of the modern boxing glove was Jack Broughton, a bare-knuckle champion. Before Broughton's glove was invented, the ancient Greeks and Romans made their own gloves but they were used to kill, not knock out. The Greeks had leather straps to wrap around their hands, but later fitted them with spikes AKA brass knuckle, and/or blades. The Romans used a similar glove called the Cestus. (basically they are leather gloves with metal plates) But now our modern day boxing gloves are made of leather, cow or goat hide and plastic as well. Thank You for Your time!
