Boxing must ban head punches in wake of Nick Blackwell incident

[STAX ON DECK]

body is a game we played in middleschool,, i was the champ at that game

I don't agree with it but I think boxers with obvious glass jaws should be banned from boxing.

Someone like Amir Khan for instance after the Garcia fight (second time being brutally KO'd) should have been banned for his own safety.

2x unconcious and your out should be the rule


In other situations like if you start slurring and having a tounge like a 2lb steak (Roy Jones, James toney) should be instantly banned for their own good

Fighters with "glass jaws" are actually much less likely to be seriously hurt.

There isn't a relationship between s fighter losing equilibrium or consciousness and the potential for serious injury.

Getting hurt or rocked is due to the misalignment of ions surrounding the cell membrane of neurons not bleeding on the brain.

If Blackwell had no chin he would have been stopped in 2-3 rounds and
Probably be fine now.

Nick Blackwell was fighting in much more dangerous environments before turning to boxing.

These anti-boxing people are typically foolish and ignore the benefits that the sport brings.

Might as well ban the sport. Nobody would watch body shots.

Body shots don't even count according to some fans (like Erislandy Lara's), so how are we gonna score the fights?

Just go straight to banning head blows, didn't even suggest headgear or anything lol. NY just unbanned a brutal sport like MMA, no one is banning head shots in boxing lol.

brutal? there has never been a life-altering condition or death associated with MMA, boxing can’t say the same, or even eggball

MMA is way safer than boxing, one of the reasons MMA fighters earn peanuts compared to boxers

Wrong. Although boxing is much more deadly.

We have ringside doctors for a reason. When stuff like this happens they aren't doing their jobs.

It is a silly statement because just say ban boxing, it is a much cleaner argument to make.
