Not wise to go into boxing when we're young many of us cant see that. Life is hard enough with out brain damage
I got this reply once when I asked a boxer if he wasn't afraid of brain damage; something in the lines of, 'I'm more afraid of not pursuing greatness'
Live life in a safe little bubble or take life head on. Get on the dangerous rollercoaster and experience the thrill or sit back and hide under you little warm blanket
That's the problem right there. Promoters, managers and even coaches prioritise developing high level efficiency in smacking opposition by starting at a very young age, over developing accumulative damage to the central control system that the young person needs to think, feel and move. The priorities are backwards.
@@satyRo-tu1wlI agree, so long as the teenagers and even children are thoroughly educated on the risk before deciding if they would like to pursue it. The issue is, most young fighters decide on fighting based on the adrenaline, the respect, the confidence etc, yet with little to no education on brain damage risk and while believing the brain can heal itself in a similar manner to the rest of the body, which just isn't the case.
Jews used to dominate boxing until they rose up economically- who was the last Jewish boxer? Mike Rossman in 1980s?
Very true, I remember having full bore sparring matches when I was under 12. Looking back a lot of those sparring sessions should have been stopped or never happened! Things are better now but kids still get hurt and damaged too early in life.
After watching Pacquaio vs. Bradley, I’ve decided to continue boxing, it’s too much fun.
Ok? and? if u want brain damage, a broken face and permanently bruised knuckles go ahead.
Killer_Rainbow go back to your mommas womb we fight for the love and passion of the sport no injury can scare us
Let’s settle this in the ring boys
Great upload. Thanks for sharing.
The little device that beeps when youve suffered an injury is something id actually get
We expect the repercussions. Some boxers thats all we have is boxing nothin else no one else
Julian that's a very brave comment. Let me ask would you encourage a keen young boy to box?
To be Honest Whilst Boxing Is Undoubtably The Most Exciting Fighting Sport There Is And I Love Watching Boxing Matches. But Facts Are Facts More men are killed Or Receive Brain Injuries In The Ring Then In Any other Sport On Earth And Perhaps Its Time To Ban It Or Seriously Change The Rules to Make it Safer or To Save So Many Boxers Dieng Young ThankYou
why ban it ? boxers know the risk you could then even say ban motorcycles or cars
in the fight game you are good until the first real ko . after that you just play with your health
People should never intentionally put themselves in a situation that could cause them brain injury. You would never wish such a horrible thing on anyone.
Had a career in boxing. My record was 0-74-1 where 73 of those losses were straight knockouts! :)
Yea suuurreee...
That would be listed 0-74-1, something I'm sure you'd know if you've fought and lost 74 fights
@@thomashightower7881 Thats what I wrote.
Sounds like you're doing great though. Congrats 🤣
It’s understandable that there’s people don’t want their son or daughter to Box. I don’t think my parents would have let me box.
Mine didn't, I was allowed to do certain combat sports but only while not truly fighting somebody else.
As a kid it upset me greatly, as an adult I'm kinda glad. I still love to do kickboxing, sparring my bag, enjoying the sport, but I already have enough pain and health issues I don't need to risk it with an actual fight.

Awww but I love boxing :(
Then you should still box, just be cautious, especially with how many times and how hard you spar
At least Canadiens have healthcare coverage. We have none in the USA.
More money? The problem is "too many hits to the head"...and I didn't go to medical school. ( Jerry Quarry)
Even the vast majority of boxers with cte don't regret being a boxer.
What else are you going to do? Stress makes it way worse so you want to keep that down as much as possible, they cannot allow themselves to regret, they shouldn't
@@OffTheWagons : No,it's not like that.When a boxer with cte is asked if he regrets having boxed,it's an unequivocle no.The vast majority feel that way,the ones that have tasted glory at a high level at least.Boxers who have cte,but have not been successful probably feel differently I suspect.Some with severe cte,like Terry Norris,do realise that they are victims of boxing though.
@@lt7082 Maybe if you have CTE that also affects your self-awareness as well as your ability to analyze and assess your past. That must be one of the reasons why quite a few former boxers and fighters claim not to have any regrets about their careers despite the fact that they have in the meantime become aware and/or show clear signs of the damage caused to them by combat sports
Lorenzo ... cases vary but if you’ve heard Terry Norris’s recent interviews he is still sharp and answers questions quickly with articulation. CTE has really messed up his speech and physical coordination though
@@coletrick8748 Nervous system issues are tough. I have some nerve issue and it makes me slur slightly but because those muscles are not getting all the neccessary signals. My brain will know what I want to say and how but the mouth does not listen all the time.
It is a very disconnecting feeling, cannot imagine it being a serious one. Must be frustrating when he wants to have simple conversation, keeps having to repeat himself.

It's Ironic that Adonis Stevenson is featured in a Programme on Brain Trauma ... Because his career is now over because of Brain Damage suffered in a fight.
i really miss the 1990s

ufCTE.......lest we forget.
The problem with boxing is that it is run by promoters and not a central boxing organisation that overseas matchmaking and acts in the interests of the fighters. Promoters are business men who look to protect their investments by often matching them against weaker opposition resulting in one sided beatdowns.
yes that and... getting hit in the head
Light sparr if you ain’t a pro or don’t even consider going that direction
The problem is boxing gyms are notorious for saying that and then all the "sparring sessions" are essentially smokers or gym wars. I actually stopped because of that. I probably received more damage just training than the fights themselves.
What about soccer players taking balls to the head for 30 odd years? Watch the goal keeper kick the ball, it goes flying through the air usually over half way and the soccer player jumps 10 feet up into the air and takes the ball on the head.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thats not the same by far. Dont think a soccer ball will give you CTE
Cognac Jak it does
@@mr.t658 im going to check into that. Never really thought about it that way until I read your comment.
Geovany Franco let me guess. you must be a soccer player
Geovany Franco im just saying what i read on the web. different articles and stuff. if it doesnt cause Cte than thats great
The promoter THATS WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR & his NOT TAKING 1 PUNCH STFU.
Maybe UFC in the other organizations need thicker gloves it would not bother me to protect the fighters like that
Bigger more padded gloves make it worse. Being KO'ed right away as in bare knuckle or UFC has been proven to be far better than being repeatedly punched as in boxing.
loads of talking ia this a talk show?
