I'm interested in hearing about the history & evolution of the sport of Boxing.

I remember reading about how old boxing matches used to be bare-knuckled and rounds would go into the 70's. Something about guys throwing less punches because their hands weren't padded and thus go hurt easier, etc. I'm interested in hearing about all that and how things changed and evolved.

Can anyone go into this kind of stuff
