Answer 4

Found some but wait to get the ok from a native

boxeador = boxer
pugilista = "
muñones = gloves someplace else has guantes for gloves
fajador = loosely translates to brawler
boxisticamente = grabs center stage from his opponent, I guess before the match
cuadrilátero = boxing ring
combate = match
Wouldn't you think there would be an Eng/Sp translation glossary somewhere'
