Look, regardless of whether you 'should' move your head and condition yourself well, the fact remains that fighters like Owen Beck get BEAT UP on just for a pay day, and commissions allow this to happen. Beck aint winning no title but hes getting beat up! THATTTTTT causes brain damage in the long run.

Listen, a childs brain has not fully developed, and a teen probably more developed but the skull is still weak. When they have 'competitive' sparring, their brains are taking a beating. Hence why they ARE getting some damage. You wont actually know what that sparring has done to a person until 20+ years later when they are punch drunk or have decreased motor reflexes.Originally posted by SpecialOne View Post
My point is, journeymen like Own Beck, Michael Sprott etc... get paid for sparring by Wladimir and get a pounding!.. I am saying that the rigors of training camp give the boxer brain damage. As i said not everyone is a Mayweather and journeymen all have there place in boxing, and hence brain damage is more prevalent as they are not skilled enough to get away from the punches.
what are you saying?Comment

It's like anything in life.
Some people are more prone to things than others.
Some people smoke for 3 years and die of lung cancer, some smoke 80years and done even get a cough.
Same with boxing some get Brain damage after a short period or a good blow.
Some old pro's who have had Wars all there life, sparred hard hard rounds get to their 70's and 80's and are just fine, sharper and more with it than some 20 year olds.
I am 34 a boxing trainer and I also sparr 2 days a week and do quite a few rounds. I also work in I.T solving problems. As far as I know I am still as sharp as I ever was.
It's all about doing what makes you happy and having no regrets. I know the potential dangers of boxing and I am willing to take the risk. I don't drink or smoke and I think I am at less risk of brain issues than teens and 20 year olds who go out and get smashed on Alcohol and smoke and do drugs every week.

I take your point, but the fact still remains that MAJORITY of boxers get punch drunk and they are NOT as sharp in later life.
Do you think its acceptable for a child to take punches to the head, eg, a 13 year old sparring against a 16 year old? Personally feel that most gyms allow this for 'development' yet they fail to see the kid is getting pounded on!
its a matter of principles and what is morally right. why risk yourself more than you need to? If you are not going to be the next Mayweather then why take those punches?

if i can box and enjoy life right now until i hit the age of 70 and then not be quite as sharp as other old folks then so be it. every sport is gonna mess you up in the long run. knees, hips, ankles. would you rather not do any sport at all, get fat and die of a heart attack at the age of 38? what kind of option is that.
look unless you have like 300 amateur fights under your belt you shouldnt even be worrying about any of this stuffComment

who the **** cares, and it takes a **** load of hits, i mean alot, alot of hard ones, couldn't care enough, still love the sportComment

Really makes you wonder how the old timers did 45 round bouts and had 300+ fights and then retire without any bother whatsoever
It really really doesComment
