Boxing is often labeled as old-school in nature. The perseverance and mental fortitude required from a successful fighter is unique from other sports. When a boxer demonstrates courage and tenacity inside the ring, he is often labeled as a "throwback" to the golden days of boxing.
Boxing is an explosive, anaerobic sport. The act of throwing punches, round after round, while contending with an attacking opponent is a daunting task. It is perhaps the most physically demanding sport of all. The sport has been estimated as approximately 70-80% anaerobic and 20-30% aerobic. Anaerobic means to conduct an activity without oxygen. Anaerobic exercise, like boxing, stresses the muscles at a high intensity for short periods of time. As a boxer, one must punch, slip, and block with split second movements and reactions. A boxer must be prepared to fight with intensity, round after round. The body must be conditioned to throw the same explosive punches in the last round that you started with in round one.

box- a woman's womb and/or vagina
As we learned in the "Da Vinci Code", artist's and stoytellers of old often referenced a woman's womb as a precious vessel. Much like a vessel or jar (think Egyptian burial jars), one of the most famous jars or Greek Mythology often misinterpreted as a "Box" was Pandora's Box. According to legend, Pandora is the first woman and was created by the gods to punish men for stealing their secret fire. When this beauty opened her box (unsealed her jar/lost her virginity) soon after being married, she quickly unleashed all the evils onto the world. For the first time a society of solely men had experienced troubles, burdens, sickness and death. Once all of the evils escaped, the only thing left in her "box" was Hope forever sealed away from men (and presumably inside of her) in the box (jar). All women born after her would possess this power and all men, whether with a woman or not, would suffer the punishment. Therefore today, women should be much more appreciative and protective of her most dangerous and precious gift...her jar which will later will be known as her Box.

"For she brings with her a jar which contains toil and sickness which brings for death to men, diseases as well as many other pains..." note after the 1700's jar translates to box.
