I recall reading between 10-20 boxing deaths per year but of course that's for sanctioned, reported cases.
If your definition of boxing expanded to "fistfighting" who knows, hundreds if not thousands.
The entire point is, in effect, punching someone in the brain until they can't stand up.Last edited by ////; 06-01-2015, 08:23 PM.

I did a lot of research in to the affects that boxing has on the brain. After a good few years of fighting I recognized far too many of the things that were being spoken of in the book.
Amateur boxing, statistically speaking is considered a very safe sport. And it is. It's a rough sport but the officials main concern is the safety of the kids, and they do a good job.
The pros are simply a meat grinder in too many cases.Last edited by Rockin'; 06-01-2015, 08:37 PM.
