Boxing

BOXING

so Boxing is one of the world's oldest combat sports. It is usually held in a ring and two boxers people who fight in boxing fights wear special gloves and try to hit one another. There are a few different ways to win in boxing. One is by a way of a knockout, which is when a fighter is knocked to the ground and cannot get back up within ten seconds. Another way is by a technical knockout, which is when the fighter can not continue fighting or the referee stops the fight. Another possibility is winning on points, which a boxer gets by outboxing his or her opponent by hitting the opponent more often, harder, and more accurately. There are also draws in boxing. What in other sports are called "tie" in boxing it's called "draw". A referee can announce a technical draw due to an accidental cut or an accidental wound like a headbutt. Generally, it is considered a "no contest" (NC). However, from the second round, or four in some fights, if the score cards for both fighters are equal, the fight could be called a draw. Boxing is very popular around the world. It is a way to defeat your enemy by physical force

I want to find out how to put chilli out.

Research: 

METHOD:

equepment:

1. yoursalf

Put the chilli in

results:

	Stright Chilli	Water	Coke	Milk
Time taken to stop the burn	10 seconds	10seconds	10seconds	10seconds

comclusion:

coke was the best at stoping the feeling my worst was the straght

Many milk-based products contain a protein called casein, which can help break down those capsaicin tricksters. Think of casein as a detergent — attracting, surrounding and helping wash away the oil-based capsaicin molecules floating around your mouth, similar to how soap washes away grease.

And thats all for my blog the thanks for watching do you like chilli.
