What are the dangers of Boxing?

What are the dangers of crossing a motor way with your eyes closed?

Not in an IQ-test. Ya, alot of these trainers when they get older are a good attribute to the wear and tear this sport can potentially put on you. my first trainer had alot of ring age on him, you could tell. he never went professional, you could tell he obviously wasn't right. same with roger. same with freddy. and these are just a few of the trainers you see in the game these days on the world level, imagine all the trainers in the world of boxing that participated and had a pro career. the goal of the sport is to inflict pain and damage to where the other guy is unconscious, these coincidences aren't surprising to me.

I want to get started in Boxing for fitness and enjoyment, and would possibly like to compete in amature events. But what are the dangers of boxing, how common and likely are these possible dangers to occur? thanks for the help. Brain damage, eye damage, etc. Pretty common, pretty likely.

Roger Mayweather would probably still spark a lot of us out. Not in an IQ-test.

Lack of defense = head getting smacked = lack of motor skills and cognitive abilities = punch drunk = Roger Mayweather Roger Mayweather would probably still spark a lot of us out.

Dangers of boxing... Some boxing champs tend to box a lot longer past their prime as compared to other sports..

You can do it buddy, but you will have to be dedicated. If you go in there a about 2 times a week and expect to do good at sparring you're in the wrong sport. Boxing is great for physical conditioning but when it comes to sparring you could get hurt if you're not into it as much as the other guys. It also depends on the gym and the trainer. But overall I would say go for it

well, all the usual suspects, busted nose, fat lip, knockout, hurt ribs, but as a fighter the worst danger is poor management and match making.... get skilled in good defense and know the business, even the amateur business and politics and you might come out ok. train for a fight as if your life is on the line, because in one way or another, it is.

I heard if you don't use it, you lose it.

Getting your ear bitten

Think Getting hit in head Your brain is in your head put 2 and 2 together

If you're just doing Amateur events then the only real dangers are possible damaged internal organs, ripped muscles (or any other training injury) and broken bones which should all be expected, you're going into a sport where you're required to take punishment. Pro events the dangers get much worse, obviously.
