Maybe it's time to increase the gloves size.

You have hard knock out even at the lower level, with modern fitness technologies, dude are sharp as hell.

We should go from 8-10 ounces to 10-12 onces.

I hate seeing anyone seriously hurt.

That might have the opposite effect. Brains will still bounce around inside the skull, but the extra padding will protect the opponents hands more. Like Gil Clancy once said, if you want to see far less deaths, go back to bare knuckle.

Hope he's ok. There's always room for improving safety. We should also think very carefully about certain names some of us call fighters, even when it get heated on sites like this. With the risks they face, none of them should ever be called cowards.

Hope he pulls through.

RIP. And as some posters have said, it's pretty ****** to call someone willing to risk their health in the ring as cowards. This is a brutal sport and sometimes with brutal outcomes.
