Boxing is a complex sport with fascinating science behind it. Newton's third law explains how every action force has an equal and opposite reaction force. Boxing gloves, introduced relatively recently, absorb the force of punches, leading to more powerful hits and increased injuries. Without gloves, fighters must absorb the full force of their punches, resulting in less severe injuries. The use of gloves in boxing matches has caused countless careers to be ruined by severe injuries. Hello, and welcome to our first attempt here. Have you ever witnessed a boxer walk away from what looks like a completely debilitating punch, but to your surprise, their opponent looks hardly damaged at all? It's truly quite confusing why it's so difficult to severely damage and mangle another person through the use of your fists. You would probably yell at them to punch harder, but punching has a ton of fascinating science behind it that allows for a variety of tactics and interesting techniques. This video will also show you how boxing gloves aren't as safe as you may think. Newton's third law is one of the major principles at play in such a punch. It is one in a series of laws written by Sir Isaac Newton, describing how objects on a macro scale move and interact with one another. This law states that, for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force, which means that every time two objects interact, they exert the exact same force in the opposing direction of one another. A common example of Newton's third law is a ball dropping and subsequently hitting the ground. When the ball hits the ground, it exerts an action force on the ground, and the ground simultaneously exerts a reaction force on the ball. The ball's movement is more noticeable than that of the ground due to its mass being many times less than that of the earth's. Boxing is a very confrontational sport, full of many possible injuries. Boxing's estimated injuries are 17.1 to 23.6 per 100 fights, and it ranks 11th among the most deadly sports in terms of total injuries and deaths. Boxing gloves, one of the most recognizable symbols of boxing, were also only introduced to the sport relatively recently in its long history. Let's take a typical punch from a boxer as an example. The average force of an amateur boxer's punch is around 2,500 to 3,000 newtons. The first boxer applied 2,500 newtons, while the second boxer's body simultaneously applied a reaction force of 2,500 newtons back on the first boxer. The boxer, let's call him Bob, becomes increasingly more confident in his boxing skill. He eventually decides to do a friendly fight against a boxer from a higher weight class who we'll call Billy Joe. This boxer is both more skilled than Bob and has more mass, and likewise force, behind his attacks. Let's analyze this scenario. Billy Joe's punch had a force of 4,760 newtons. Let's say his first punch applied an action force of 4,760 newtons on Bob, while Bob applied an equal reaction force with his hands as he blocked the attack. Because Billy Joe was in a higher weight class, being a middleweight, 160 pounds, he didn't recoil as much as Bob, who was a featherweight, 126 pounds. Bob went flying six inches away, while Billy Joe was only sent back two inches from his initial position. Eventually Bob gets pretty badly injured in his fight, earning him place in the hospital for a few months. Once he leaves the hospital and recovers from his previous injuries, he goes back into boxing. However, he makes what seems like a small change. He doesn't use boxing gloves in his matches. Eventually he comes toe-to-toe with Billy Joe once more, but this time neither of them use their gloves. Since their hands lack padding, they are inclined to use less force behind their punches. This results in higher quantities of less severe injuries, leaving Bob with much less permanent damage. With the use of boxing gloves, both fighters are capable of introducing ludicrous forces on one another, as the glove absorbs a large amount of the reaction force on their hands, allowing for more powerful punches and an uptick in injuries. Meanwhile, without the gloves, fighters must absorb all the reaction force of their punch straight through their knuckles and delicate fingers. This discourages more daring and hefty punches, as the more force they exert, the more damage is dealt to their digits. In conclusion, boxing is a fascinating sport with many problematic rules and serious issues, but the rules requiring boxing gloves in most major matches can be attributed to countless careers ruined by severe injuries and many mangled fighters over boxing's long existence. To end take, oh my gosh, was I not close enough to the mouth, noooo, well we'll see, see ya.
