Besides speech, other effects of brain damage from boxing?

Only temporarily.

it can be permenant, good chances if you abuse it

also believe it can happen even in shorter periods, if you're unlucky enough

Neurological, psychological and physiological damage in innumerable ways.

It's really bad, if you want some literature, look up the studies for the NFL and concussions. It pretty much can impact the entire body and brain in ways you couldn't even imagine.

Mood disorders. Loss of memory. Loss of motor skills and function. Headaches. Migraines. Loss of brain function. Etc, etc.

I agree about the Neurological, psychological, and Physiological damage. Some people I know that boxed for a living even have lost their eyesights, loss of sense of taste, and so forth. Boxing/fighting is indeed a very dangerous sport and I feel sorry for those guys that put their lives for us to be entertain and yet never really compensated for their hard works and efforts in the ring.

When you are dealing with damage to the brain, the side effects are too numerous to mention. Gotta understand that the brain of basically the controller of the body. So just imagine...

Both of these posts are spot on!!!

The damage done to the brain cannot be over stated and even if the effects aren't apparent now, you can bet that in the future all boxer's will experience a great deal of physical and physiological degradation.

That's why it becomes questionable at times, when you hear fans scream for the physical damage as opposed to a display of the craft at the highest level. It would seem that many are unaware of certain facts relating to the sport of boxing.

And sadly, boxing doesn't have as good an organization as the NFL\NHL\NBA etc.. One that would set up funds to help these guys when they need it most, post-career -- So, they're pretty much on their own, when it comes time to deal with the physical and financial costs, resulting from the long-term effects of being a Professional Boxer.

I watched a youtube doc where Jerry Quarry was signing things for people at some honarary event. He couldn't remember the letters needed to sign his own name. His brother had to describe them for him, so forgetfulness is obviously one them.

pretty much this, anything that can go wrong will go wrong with brain damage.
