Head Punches Might One Day Be Illegal In Boxing?

Funny thing is boxibg has less injuries, including brain injuries than other sports like football.

Wouldn't be surprised if that's Mayweather's next condition for the Pacquiao fight Yea but Mayweather will tell Pacquaio he has to have on hand tied behind his back

That's the day I stop watching the sport.

That would be the end of boxing, If they did enough research they could probably link body punches too serious medical conditions as well. iI personally think 100% body punching would ruin a persons insides. The fighters will have less of an area to protect.....the connect percentage will be low ....

I dunno lol. Fair enough.

Boxing will probably be banned in the future and I think it's a good idea :fing02: Boxing is an inhumane sport, watching two people beat each other into brain damage is highly immoral. The British medical community has been campaigning for the end of boxing for almost half a century or even longer. Why would you watch a sport you think should be banned?

I'm imagining a world where head punches are banned from boxing because they are seen as too "inhumane" by wider society, there have been boxing-related deaths as a result of head punches.. so what happens - only body punches allowed, or even punches "bellow the balls" to the legs? Could boxing one day transform into that sport, where head shots are banned? Imagine that! :smashfrea That would be the end of boxing, If they did enough research they could probably link body punches too serious medical conditions as well. iI personally think 100% body punching would ruin a persons insides.

Wouldn't be surprised if that's Mayweather's next condition for the Pacquiao fight lol nah floyd condition if he ever gets the balls to fight pac would be to fight in these.. http://i57.tinypic.com/2dioufs.jpg

highly doubt head punching would ever become illegal it's a moronic thread due to that, however the more realistic option would be that in the future there'd be some sort of headguard mandate where you'd need to wear a headgear of some sort.

If that happened boxing would be dead. I have been a huge boxing fan and an army boxer and I wouldn't watch that even for free. It won't happen as long as mma is popular with 4 ounce gloves and kicks to the head legal.

Yet another pointless discussion.....

The safety of a sport is not just determined on the risk of death. The man in problem with boxing, is that the brain is rather fragile, and getting punched in the head for a living, have serious long term heath compilations. Most brain specialist strongly advice against boxing for that reason Good post.....

Wouldn't be surprised if that's Mayweather's next condition for the Pacquiao fight isn't pacquiao the one that's already been KO'd by body shots?

More people die racing cars and doing those other sports like skiing, bikes, bmxs etc. There lot's of sports where people die much more than boxing, they would have to ban a whole bunch of sports before it came to boxing Don't let the facts get out the way, boxing is actually safe, fighting in the street isn't!
