Boxing was born in the late 1800s, when the adoption of the Queensberry rules ended the old bare-knuckle days of limitless rounds, neck choking, no weight classifications, and muddy deaths.

America was changing dramatically in the decades between the end of the Civil War and start of the First World War.
