Swarmer Research Paper

Improved Essays
Styles make the fights that is what boxing promoters always say when they choose two fighters to encounter each other in the ring. A boxer's repertoire, speed, ferociousness, capability to yield a punch, and persona determines the style. Boxing styles are more instinct than a learned feature. Once someone boxes more and more they will find themselves suiting into one of the four styles swarmer, slugger, boxer, and a boxer-puncher.
First, the swarmer is a relentless aggressor with a strong chin which stops at nothing to close the gap from his opponent. Most often a swarmer is really quick handed and does his or her best to beat his opponent by pushing him or her to use up all the supplies of conditioning while the opponent has to get away from the swarmer. A swarmer is a simple boxer which consists of chase, push, and attack. The most known swarmers are Rocky Marciano, Mike Tyson, Julio Caesar Chavez, and Maidana.

An additional nickname for this category is Mexican style. A slugger in boxing is a boxer who doesn’t like chasing his opponents like the swarmer, but likes going toe to toe with opponents. All sluggers have great chins and they must because taking and giving shots are their game plan. A slugger vs a slugger is most popular amongst all the fight style match ups because the action never ends until someone collapses and turns to stone. P.S. not literally, but figuratively. The kryptonite of a slugger is their slow speed and small combos. The most known slugger in boxing is George Foreman. Although at his old age he could destroy men at their peeks. Another slugger as seen recently is runner up pound for pound king Gennedy “GGG”

In “Domestic Reconstruction: White Homes, ‘Black Mammies,’ and New Women,” Hale explains that “[b]y 1880, most ex-slaves and many white farmers did not have the resources to pursue subsistence and wealthier whites had no need to make what they could more easily and often as cheaply buy. For all classes of southerners, domestic spaces increasingly became places of consumption rather than production. The general store, and after the…
