Boxing was an athletic sport as well as an art form. It required powerful muscle strength, strong psychological warfare and strenuous physical activity.
A standard boxing match required 5 rounds; each round lasting 2 minutes, until one of the competitors get knocked out for 10 seconds. The one left standing is the winner.
Mo Ting wasn't in the mood to endure multiple rounds with Quan Ye. So, the two men agreed to just one round.
While Mo Ting was still in the change room, Quan Ye swiftly wrapped his hands in bandages and put on his boxing gloves. In order to prove that a match was of a high caliber, professional boxers usually didn't wear helmets nor armor. So, Quan Ye also didn't to put any on. He simply appeared in front of everyone wearing a pair of shorts and soft-soled shoes.
