It makes sense that football would see more deaths than boxing, but I don't think football is a harder sport than boxing.

While we are on the subject:
Skateboarding is tough as hell as well. I have buddies that have broken every bone in their body:
Another tough sport: Cheerleading. My sister, and my ex girlfriend have broken several bones on their bodies as well.
LOL. I am serious as a heart attack.

I appreciate you not getting upset that I disagreed with you. I know that football is a grueling game with many serious injuries. The scary thing with boxing is that I have been knocked out on my feet, only to continue fighting not even fully comprehending what I was doing. After all, we are trained to fight as long as we are on our feet and able. The visions of the fights like distant dreams that I could never quite remember, even on the car ride home from the fight..............Rockin'Comment

Originally posted by dangerousityWow, is this for real? How can football be possibly more dangerous than boxing. On one game you either kick ball around(soccer) or run with ball(american football), in boxing you purposely try to hurt each other as much as possible...It doesnt make sense to me.
However let me add, after I fight or spar, I definitely feel it more than after playing football. Although, I wasn't a QB. I was a DB and I much prefered to hit tham be hit. I would hate playing QB....hate it. And its also not true that they get more chicks. ha.Last edited by boxerman; 04-05-2005, 10:48 PM.Comment

Originally posted by Rockin1Its not the promoters job to check for these credentials, the id and physical. The promoters job is to get the venue lined and organize everything that goes with the show, including matching bouts. But just because the bouts were made by the promoter does not mean the fight will go through. If it is judged to be an un safe match it will not be made. Amatuer boxing is VERY serious about safety. To write on this site that it lacks in checking for proper health and identification is so wrong. It is the chief of officials or another official with proper training who check the passbooks, ala I.D. It is the physician who checks EVERY fighter before they step into the ring. Please watch who you knock with saftey, the USA/ABF deserves no words such as yours as saftey is the MAIN ingredient in a properly run show in the USA/ABF............Rockin'
I was just at a show 2 months ago and the promoter asked my name, shook hands and had me jump on the scale, that was it.
Not every sanctioning body is ran the same as the ABF.
The ISCF has rules on fighter safety the same as the ABF but not all promotions use their sanctioning.
Checking a fighter before a fight Is no substitute for a complete physical and neurological test. There's not a lot of tests you can run on site. The point I was trying to make was that it's the fighter's responsibility to get the proper medical tests.Comment
