Comments Thread For: Warren: Statistically Boxing is Safer Than Many Other Sports

I'm neither American nor British, so I get my news from German news outlets and mostly reddit, but what I gather from media is that the usa is much more concerned about political correctness, weird social justice movements and not hurting anyone's feeling than the UK. but concerning boxing, it's true that the UK ist taking a much safer approach and stop fights prematurely more often than not. it's completely ruining our nation--pragmatism has been completely lost.

statistically I'd rather get dunked on than sent to heaven with a straight right hand. boxing is a cruel sport. its the closest you'll get to the gladiators. the main objective in the sport is to inflict as much brain damage as possible on your opponent. you can word it any other way u want that's what it boils down to. the human brain is not supposed to bounce around in the skull and thats what happens with a punch. if you had a son as a boxer. would you want him to emulate brandon rios or pernell whitaker? "Fight like a man" vs sweet science. these boxers know they risk dying yet its a sacrifice they take for the love of boxing and to make money. banning boxing is like banning abortions. you'll just make it less safe and cause even more deaths. but what boxing needs to do is when a boxer suffers a brain injury like the Gman they need to help take care of these fighters. all these fans that scream for blood are nowhere to be found when that fighter turns into a vegetable.

Oh, wow. I really don't like Warren but he's speaking the truth here.

Statistically, Frank Warren says a lot of stupid things.

It's statistically one of the most dangerous sports, up there with horse racing and football. Unless he's including mountain climbing or something. I don't think this kind of pr is needed after a tragedy like this.

Yeah the american cultures being stripped and making sissys outta ppl. Especially ppl under 40 i think. But my point was boxing isnt mainstream here like it is in U.K. and if these kinda problems happen when boxing is mainstream then i would rather it stay under the radar here in U.S.

Im being serious... U.K. ppl seem to be very sissy. Not the regular folks maybe, but the ppl who are in charge of information and turning the public into pansies. They ban boxers for using unpopular language or points of view. Now this.. Im sure it will mean stoppages will be even earlier than ever now. So i have changed my mind, wilder vs AJ should just happen in vegas. I always took the stand that the atmosphere in UK trumps anything U.S. could offer in a big fight like that. But i would rather watch a crowd sleeping during the fight than have one of them sissys stop it on some bs early stoppage. Ppl say they want boxing mainstream... Better think about these kind of repercussions. We already have the Gabe Montoya sissys entering boxing world. Imagine if boxing was truly mainstream. It would probably be slap fights with sensors on the palms to make,sure nobody got stung to hard ha I'm neither American nor British, so I get my news from German news outlets and mostly reddit, but what I gather from media is that the usa is much more concerned about political correctness, weird social justice movements and not hurting anyone's feeling than the UK. but concerning boxing, it's true that the UK ist taking a much safer approach and stop fights prematurely more often than not.

"Some people are born to box and they will do it whatever it takes...."- that is pure BS. Like saying "some women are born to be prostitutes". An honest man will simply say: "Boxing is a cruel sport. It is my guilty pleasure. I wish I could stop watching it but I can't. It is an entertainment of the highest order but I feel guilty every time tragedies happen. As if I am cooperating with a cruel industry..."

Is the Westgarth death going to make UK Stoppages even worse? I won't be watching AJ vs Parker if the Ref's are going to wave it off after AJ lands his first punch. as for the article, he isn't wrong. Look at boxing when it was illegal.
