Would you watch professional boxing if the fighters wore headgear?

[Kid Achilles]

The question is moot because headgear doesn't prevent concussions and therefore is not an effective safeguard against brain damage or death. A concussion occurs when your head is jarred back from the force of a blow, causing your brain to shift within your skull. Repeated concussions are what cause brain damage and most deaths in boxing.

A layer of padding around your head and chin does not protect your head from being snapped back; it just shields you from getting cut.

If you wanted to really cut down on brain damage and death in boxing, you'd need to completeley illegalize headshots.

I'd watch it if I had no other choice but I wouldn't like it..

i dont think i would watch, there is always a risk associated with boxing and thats why people get paid as much as they do, if not more people would do it.

i can think of many fights where the outcome may have been different if they wore headgear.

I hope you're joking.

otherwise you're a neanderthal.

[roberson2u]

naw...leave head gear to the amateurs

[Martin (Top Knowledge)]

I'd still watch it because I like the movement, It's like watching poetry... LOL!...

But I like to be able to see the expressions on fighters faces, You can see more easily when someone's getting the better of their opponent. (Like when a fighter doesn't wanna be in there).

Head guards take that away.

Yes I would still watch it.
