Boxing is a combat sport and martial art in which two people fight (Combat) using their fists until one is knocked down. Boxing is typically supervised by a referee (referee (boxing)) engaged in during a series of one- to three-minute intervals called rounds and the boxers generally of similar weight (human weight),. There are three ways to win; if the opponent is knocked out and unable to get up before the referee counts to ten seconds (a Knockout, or KO) or if the opponent is deemed too injured (injury) to continue (a Technical Knockout, or TKO). If there is no stoppage of the fight before an agreed number of rounds, a winner is determined either by the referees decision or by judges scorecards.
