I think this is too clever-its like the people who claim football will be safer without pads, just like rugby. It ignores that a lot of brain damage is apparently from sub concussive hits, like when two linemen collide into each other. Boxing sans gloves sounds like a solution, but I'd want to be sure there isn't any other way to get brain damage, and that its not just a feel good solution.
- CapitalistCartr 11y agoNothing is going to eliminate risk in boxing. It's a dangerous sport and the audience likes it that way. There are several ways to reduce the risk, but boxers will still pay a high price with their bodies. Gloves change the risk from surface and flesh injuries to deeper harm, such as concussions.
