Why did the Louisville Lip get his name?
It is believed that Muhammad Ali (who was born and raised in Louisville) received that nickname from his former trainer the legendary Archie Moore early in his career. (Moore had 220 fights between 1952 and 1961 with 185 wins.) Ali was often boastful and taunted his opponents, predicted the exact round in which he would knock them out and has numerous quotes to his name. The sportscasters like Howard Cosell loved him and his famous 'Rope-A-Dope' routine.

What do you do if you have the urge to punch somebody?
Usually, you shouldn't punch someone unless it's in self defence. You could either get arrested (in public), get a detention or after-school (in school), or get grounded (at home). Even if you do punch someone in self defence, you would have to find a good reason of why you punched them instead of just walking away.
Can a man beat a chimp if he was very angry?
A person with some training might be able to land some a few blows on a Chimp, but they are extremely robust creatures. Chimpanzees are many times stronger than a human because they have less grey matter in their spinal cord, meaning there are less muscle neurons to activate small muscle groups. This ultimately means that they can access larger sections of muscle at once. On top of that, they do not have the types of biological limiters that humans have because they do not have as many fine motor control muscles to protect. This means if they get a hold of you, your arm is most likely going to be ripped off. A good example of their strength was described by one Primatologist. Chimps in alpha male positions, or those wishing to dethrone him, like to show off their power by beating on the base of trees. This produces a drum-like sound that reverberates throughout the forest. After witnessing such a display, the Primatologist hit the tree as hard as he could, but produced no sound like the one he had heard.

What does T K O means in fighting?

When throwing an uppercut punch the more bend you have in your knees the more you will gain?
Not necessarily. You never want to lock your knees in a fight and so hey should always be bent. You could not throw an uppercut if you were standing straight up. I mean you could, but you would have the power of a three year girl. Or boy. So bending your knees is essential to a powerful uppercut, but you wouldn't get more power from going into a full squat first. I don't really know what your asking
Do you think Sports like wrestling and boxing should be banned?
No because it gives entertainment to the world. If it should be banned then why would it be in the Olympics? The TV shows are not real and the actual sport has so much health and safety involved in it these days there is almost no painful moves involved. If it was banned then a big percentage of almost every country would be unimpressed and some may even riot against the idea.
