That'd be crazy if Tito kills Chuck by KO.Chuck will be just about 49 when he fights Tito....
Comissions need to do something about this to prevent further tragedy.
That is sad. Most people here with boxing knowledge are probably familiar with Meldrick Taylor. How he was able to get licensed to fight later on in his career is unbelievable.
Fuck man that is horrible. Sometimes having no quit in your heart is a bad thing. You can't stay in the game for that long and leave in one piece. My condolence to his family.
RIP
This is the main reason I think it’s incredibly shitty for fans of any combat sports to look at boxing gloves as ‘pillows’. Anyone who has stepped into the ring knows it isn’t even close to being the case.
All the evidence shows that repeated injury resulting in swelling, followed by additional injury once the brain is swelled, is the biggest danger to the brain.Boxing gloves are bigger therefore drum your head around more than a MMA punch. It’s worse. The MMA glove packs more energy in a smaller surface plus it’s also more difficult to defend against so there’s a bigger chance of getting knocked out and being cut, which is safer for you since the fight is stopped early. Also MMA rules stop fights very quickly once a fighter is unable to defend himself
Boxing gloves are just bad for your brain, even if you block. Plus the rule set doesn’t help, if you are too messed up to defend yourself you simply get a countdown and go at it again at the mercy of the referee.
Boxing is a much harsher sport than MMA

That's why I love grappling. You can keep your brain, and still engage with intensity for as long as your body holds up.

Its not real fighting!! The rule set benefits the more athletic fighter too much. In mma there are more equalizers. A great striker being nullified by a wrestler is great to witness and a great striker that can stop the takedowns and put forth his gameplan is also great.
Boxing been around for a very long time so it has had time to expand and become sponsored better. But it is weaker combat sport in its core.
