Man, this is bad and I hate it for te family. Boxing at some point as "A Sport" must adopt more fighter protections... Insurance should be built into all sanctioning fees, state-by-state and nationally, as should a retirement plan based on fighter payout. This is tooo longin coming, I will always stand by boxers, but nationally we should too.

Boxing is as real as it gets its not a game you play. It can be life and death in that ring when you get caught with a solid punch it wakes you up and you realize that you can get seriously hurt. That's why I hate these internet warriors criticizing fighters when they don't know how it is. Saying things like he scared or a coward or he doesn't hit hard if they knew every punch in the face hurts.

So very easy to deceive cover up for change brain scans Peds tests anything especially when a fighter goes from state to state or country to Country... it will never be under control because there is not one Soul governing body either worldwide or nationally in the US
