    "This fatality rate is lower than or similar to the rates of other high-risk sports, such as college football, motorcycle racing, scuba diving, mountaineering, hang gliding, sky diving, and horse racing," said the AMA report.
    Put it in context...

    And moving on,

    However, mountaineering would appear to be more dangerous.
    Experienced mountain chronicler Alan Arnette calculated in June that there had been 379 summits of K2 and 85 deaths since records began -- a rate of 22% compared to 3% on Everest. For every four climbers that have scaled the mountain, one has died trying.
    They need to BAN K2!!!!

          If you ban boxing more people will die underground and it'll just move to other countries. The usa will never ban boxing too much money to lose.

                  This is nonsense. They've never caused me any problems*.

                  *Then again, I only use Mongolian gerbils--they're smaller and tend to scratch less frantically while suffocating.
