Damn, that sucks especially being just 23. Achieved world champion status though, good luck, enjoy retirement and best of health for the rest of his life

The Japanese Boxing Commission is probably the best commission on the planet

Dang that sucks it was so early in his career. But at least he was able to be a world champion before this horrible news. I wish him the best.

Could happen to anyone brave enough to step in the ring,
that's why I deplore hearing any boxers described as 'bums' or other terms
that undervalue the sacrifice and risk they take every time they fight.
I have the utmost respect for boxers, even the ones that I complain about
in my rantings.

Best of luck to him.

with you one thousand per cent.

I would be all for a NSB policy of three warnings and you are out for using derogatory terms that show lack of respect for courageous entertainers.

There could be sin bins too for lousy posters. Every week they are in the sin bin they lose 25% of their points. Only way out of the sin bin would be to contribute great posts. Could be a hall of fame and a hall of shame.

I'd moderate this (for a fee) and have a blast lol.

And some people say a professional boxer can be considered a coward.

Such a brutal, unforgiving sport.

Here is what I don't understand, boxing is a dangerous sport, everyone knows that, why can't a boxer sue the boxing commission, the way the NFL players are suing the NFL for CTE? Is it not the same? Both are dangerous sports and you play at your own risk, or are the NFL players protected by something else?
