Very interesting.

Wow. Very interesting. It's crazy that the gloves could survive this long. I'm sure boxing looked a bit different in those days. "I lunge at thee with a fist in a straight line fashion." "Eh, there must be some quicker way to say this. I feel like a girly man with all this jab. I mean, gab." "Jab? Hhmm. Maybe, I jab thee, instead of lunging at thee with my fist in a straight line fashion." "That could work. I jab thee." "I jab thee back. Hahahahahaha! I jab thee with the spirit of Testicleez!!!"

Thank you for posting this.

Great article.

I mean, Marcus Aurelius talks about boxing in the book Meditations so this isn't surprising.

This is rumored to have been said by Andreus Wardicus

Wardicus- "I ram thee! See? I ram thee!"

Opponent- "You look more like a billy goat with that maneuver, oh great Wardicus."

Wardicus- "Have this man executed." Then when alone, "Yes, billygoating it shall be. I will spread the word through Virgilus Hunterus."

Probably, but they probably let their fights marinate too long and forgot.
