White-collar boxing uses the big and "fluffy" 16 ounce gloves. Full head, mouth and groin protection is compulsory. The fights are limited to three 2 minute rounds. The refereeing is extra strict and fights are stopped after the smallest chance of concussion. The benefits far outweigh the risks. In normal, competitive boxing, the risks are when fighters become dehydrated and sustain concussion, but keep going the full 12 odd rounds.
