actually i have met a few, thankfully not in the ring, tho i did spar with the British and Empire featherweight champion, but as i was only thirteen he was not allowed to hit me [thank you boss] i trained with five current Scottish champs from light heavyweight to featherweight... and in later years was introduced to Prince Nazeem, one of the greatest british boxers ever....
i find it amazing that they are looking for ways to stop boys heading the ball in football training, because the impact of the ball to the head might cause mental problems in later life, most of us will be aware of old boxers in our youth who were 'punch-drunk'... i am quite honestly surprised that boxing is still allowed, [if it indeed causes brain damage] i think they might gradually introduce rules that diminish the impact... headgear ect...


  As I've said, bare-knuckle fights will stop the brain damage fro repeated blows..The head-the-ball thing is absolutely right.(the scans don't lie..)..As far as headgear is concerned, I dunno..Part of the excitement and attraction is the knockout..

Knuckles would enter the eye socket doing a lot of damage Gloves stops this type of unfair play.

  The thumb of a glove does it just as well as a knuckle Hugh..

  Fury won Ashy. Wilder's corner threw the towel in in the 8th..

Perhaps illustrated tea towels would go better? With the two protagonists arm wrestling in the foreground.

Hi Zoony I believe Ashy already knew the out come of the fight I believe a bit of wind up going on. I am not a fan of boxing, and did not try to find out the result, but was soon informed on the news.

actually Zoon i had forcast Fury to win in the eighth, but his corner saved him by throwing the towel in in the Seventh, saving the ref who was about to stop it...IMO
