The goal of the sport is to cause brain trauma. Its like signing up for wing suit gliding or joining the army, you go into it understanding the risk is high.
Yup, i used to box, the biggest problem for me was making it from the toilet to the ring without cutting my feet to bits on the broken glass.
Again, are you going to some sort of Boxercise class that has light sparring, or an actual proper club?
There is no way in the world any serious boxing gym of any sort would accept anyone to go near sparring if they declared a brain injury, my son had to stop boxing the second he was diagnosed with Epilepsy....
It sounds like you are some do gooder who is involved in some "boxing" club that is more for fitness, than actually producing proper fighters.
And if you want to be safe, go and do fucking pilates or something...you are fucking punching someone in the face/head/body, who is trying to do the same to you.....to render you unable to continue, or convince judges you won the fight.
What next, you are going to ask for a break when someone hits you a little bit harder than you really want to be hit?
We get it, you dont like boxing or people being in the hurt boxing, stop fucknig posting shit about changing a sport that has not needed to be changed since they reduced fights to 12 rounds.
He's competed; used to (might still) train with Floyd Sr.
With a known brain injury or complication?
That isnt boxingfs fault, that is shitty people allowing him to compete/spar with injuries

I lolled pretty hard at trying to claim YCM is a boxercise dude scared of being hit.What do they say about people who talk tough on the internet, this thread is a great example.
Just a question-if you were a trainer/doctor/referee and could stop a fight the moment you know a fighter suffered a concussion, would you? Or would you let the fighter continue to suffer more brain injury? What if the winner were determined by the scorecards before the injury?
The health and safety of the fighters should be #1, but nothing changes time and time again when a fighter dies or gets brain damage in there.
I think realistic changes would be going to same day weigh ins to eliminate weight cutting, as well as maybe a mercy rule where a certain # of punches landed results in a tko win for the fighter that landed said punches. 200 punches landed to the head and it’s a TKO.
What are y’all suggestions? How would you change the sport to make it safer for the fighters?
A neurologist should be on scene checking a fighters eyes for concussive signs every 2 rounds I think as well, as a precaution regardless of how the fight is playing out.
You really don't know who anyone is here do you.Yup, i used to box, the biggest problem for me was making it from the toilet to the ring without cutting my feet to bits on the broken glass.
