View Full Version : Why is it called boxing day? theironone 12-26-2004, 07:42 AM Someone should know out there surely. MGG 12-26-2004, 04:32 PM Thought it had something to do with the Chinese rebellion called "Boxers Day". The Chinese wanted all the foreigners out of the country.

Chups 12-27-2004, 04:42 PM Boxing = gifts Mr. Ryan 12-27-2004, 04:43 PM Boxing = gifts Like my jab is gifted? jack_the_rippuh 12-27-2004, 04:51 PM Does Grant boxing really make the best boxing gloves ever? Mr. Ryan 12-27-2004, 04:53 PM Does Grant boxing really make the best boxing gloves ever? No, Reyes does. The leather on them is so tough, cuts skin like a razor. There are these gloves that Erik Morales used to use from Japan that I heard were good, but I never used them. ELPacman 12-27-2004, 04:59 PM Everyone jumps out of their windows with a pair of gloves on and slugs it out with their neighbors and bosses. It's quite a stress relieving day. Actually this was asked on Conan O Brian show the other day. It's about gifts being given in like, boxes :) jack_the_rippuh 12-27-2004, 05:15 PM No, Reyes does. The leather on them is so tough, cuts skin like a razor. There are these gloves that Erik Morales used to use from Japan that I heard were good, but I never used them. :mad: :mad: :mad: LIAR!!!! IT'S GRANT AND YOU KNOW IT!! Mr. Ryan 12-27-2004, 05:20 PM :mad: :mad: :mad: LIAR!!!! IT'S GRANT AND YOU KNOW IT!! No, **** that. Grant is better only if you have a jab because they aren't as dense and can move faster through air. jack_the_rippuh 12-27-2004, 05:24 PM No, **** that. Grant is better only if you have a jab because they aren't as dense and can move faster through air. Do you have a jab? Mr. Ryan 12-27-2004, 05:28 PM Do you have a jab? Yeah, but my best shot is my left hook and I just prefer Reyes. Helps me sleep better at night. jack_the_rippuh 12-27-2004, 05:31 PM Yeah, but my best shot is my left hook and I just prefer Reyes. Helps me sleep better at night. You're a lightweight? Mr. Ryan 12-27-2004, 05:34 PM You're a lightweight? I started out at 125, but couldn't keep that weight. 132 now. fist-of-fury 12-28-2004, 12:20 AM Someone should know out there surely. The "boxing" on the term Boxing Day is from the word "box", which refers to the common rectangular container we use in wrapping gifts. It started in the middle ages when the wealthy shared their blessings by giving boxes of gifts to their workers and the poor after Christmas. Here in Canada (and on other crown countries like Britain and Australia), it became a national holiday and is still widely practiced, mostly by businesses give gifts to patrons by way of bargains and discounts. Got anything this Boxing Day? Got myself a small TV. Really great bargain! |
