yes he did

After the match, the boxers sometimes hug to show their appreciation for a good fight.

What appears to be "hugging" during the match is known as clenching. Boxing is an extremely demanding sport, and the boxers can sometimes tire very quickly, especially when taking a lot of punishment. By holding onto one's opponent, it gives the boxer a few seconds of rest, and their opponent will have trouble hitting them when they are clenched together.

In boxing it is illegal to hit below the waist, biting and kicking also not allowed.

Muhammd Ali "Athlete of the Century" serigraphs w/ Remarque by LeRoy Neiman are available for purchase online around $8,000-$10,000 or "best offer". I do not like to use retail pricing as a valuation as something is only worth what someone will pay for it - i.e. a "realized price". I would suggest that if you were to auction it, it would sell in the $6,000-$8,000 range. Of the edition of 850, I'm not sure how many exhibit the Remarque - but it certainly helps the value and adds a premium over the other serigraphs in the edition.

It's good training/exercise.

on June 4th 1988 the IBF voted to change its title fights from 15 rounds to 12 rounds making it the last sanctioning body to do so, and thus making all title fights a standard 12 rounds. Talk of doing this started after the Ray Mancini Duk Koo Kim fight, where Kim tragically lost his life in the ring. Experts argued that the extra rounds did serious damage to fighters. ACCIDENTS CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME IN THE RING.THE ARGUEMENT THAT THE 3 ROUNDS MAKE A FIGHTER MORE EXHAUSTED AND IT WOULD HAMPER HIM BEING ABLE TO DEFEND HIMSELF.THIS IS OFF SET BY THE LAST 3 ROUNDS FIGHTERS ARE NOT ABLE TO THROW THEIR PUNCHS WITH THE SAME EFFECT THAN PREVIOUS ROUNDS. IT DOES NOT WASH . GREAT FIGHTERS TRAINED FOR 15 ROUNDS ,SOME OF THE BEST ROUNDS IN THE SPORT WERE IN THE LAST THREE. WHAT WOULD THE THRILLA IN MANILLA BE WITHOUT THE LAST THREE. THOSE 3 ROUNDS WERE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VERY GOOD FIGHTERS AND TREULY GREAT FIGHTERS. RODHOOK

Try breathing out while punching, this gives you more power and you are punching forces you to breath. Also breath out when you about to be hit (if you see it coming). Alot of people will hold their breath which can cause you to be winded if being hit to the body. You should also try to breath through your nose and not so much through your mouth. Breathing through your mouth causes you to open your mouth which in turn makes you chin a great target for the KO. Hope it helped, im no expert but this what my boxing coach has taught me and it has helped me. :)

They used to be made from leather with I think leather soles.More recently they used a material called "Cambrelle" which is a soft lightly padded but tough cloth like material.Now they are mainly made from the same sort of materials as trainers or sneakers with the emphasis on making them breathable.

The soles on modern boxing boots are still mainly made from gum rubber,but some companies such as Adidas have a torsion system where a harder plastic insert in a rubber sole apparantly gives strength and flexibility.

They tend to have more padding nowadays than when they were made from leather,Adidas Tyguns are a mid cut boxing boot with lots of padding around the heel and ankle,whereas their high cut Box Champ Speed boots that are still very popular are made from a MUCH lighter material that has a weave that is open enough to see through but with no padding at all.

The tongues are normally more padded than the rest of the boots to cushion the effects of lacing the boots up tightly for the extra support they can give,although a lot of boxers now like to wear their boots laced only part way up with the tongues folded down.

he won the wba heavyweight title last November beating nicolai valuev.

but he won the cruiserweight title in November '07.

Oh yes he did do it and was also arrested for it.

Possibly, and it would have been a very interesting matchup. I would probably pick Marciano to win it though.

Well I am a cousin of Mark's and I live in Oxford UK.

I can tell you that mark works in the Chino gym near Los angeles , and lives with his wife and 3 boys.

A true hero in the boxing ring ,and I shall be forever proud to be a member of his family.
