Deaths maybe rare, however brain injuries are not uncommon. If we can have headgear at armature level, why not extend it to the pros? Or is it that it will take away from the spectacle?
It's the fact it's for entertainment that makes the deaths more impactful. Far more people have been burned alive on oil rigs for example, but they were doing jobs that had to be done by somebody, and you can rationalise their deaths as an unfortunate tragedy. Boxing isn't the same, it's not a mandatory part of society, it's just entertainment, so there's no way to rationalise even a single death as anything other than totally unnecessary and senseless.
Yarde needs to remember he has to win by KO. Throwing some punches would help.
Blew his load in the 8th and that was him done then. He did a weird thing similar to aj though, he knew kovalev was hurt and only a couple of punches away from being finished, but instead of swarming him, he kept taking a bit of a breather, back off for 20 seconds and then going again, just when you thought he only needed one or two more punches. Aj was the same with Ruiz. I just don't think either have got a killer instinct in them, they're massively powerful guys just like Bruno was, great athletes, just no killer instinct.
Lomachenko is going to batter Campbell tonight. The only question is will it get to the second half of the fight.
I'd bet against it going that long.
So would I. Campbell's got more guts than brains taking Lomachenko on, and both may end up scattered across the canvas this evening.
Tony Bellew looks like a california raisin in that suit.
Loma has just broke a couple of Luke's ribs there I reckon.
Round 6, didn't think he'd make it this far tbh.

Wow. Really sparked into life in the 7th this after Campbell hurt Loma. Boss that.
Campbell's doing great. If he can maintain the distance he has a chance. Loma gets inside him, like he's starting to, and he'll hurt him.
This has turned since the 7th, suddenly become a much more even fight & they're going toe to toe. Loma looks a bit shocked & a bit tired too.
31 and he's had four thousand fights, so...
Loma finally got him down in the 11th. Campbell has done so well so far, but it's a bridge too far I think. Loma possibly doesn't have enough left in the tank to go for the finish that round.
Haha, Campbell very clever there to avoid that world of hurt.
Decent fight that. Campbell acquitted himself brilliant. He obv lost, but as close to a win as a loss can get considering the opponent.

Campbell lost. Big time. Lomachenko was grades above and it showed
Luke Moyes
That he is. Campbell did himself great credit on the night but Lomachenko is just frighteningly good.
Hughie should contemplate retirement and consider taking up basketball because he's absolutely useless with a pair of gloves on
Dubois had a waste of a camp and wasted EVERYONE’S money by fighting my taxi driver from the other day.
Canelo is moving to up to light heavy to fight Kovalev. Exactly what is Canelo eating apart from drugged meat?
The guy was fighting Floyd not too long ago, and now he's gone up 30 pounds.
Will be impressive if he beats Kovalev no doubt, but I think there's something to Golovkin's claims that Canelo has been doping rampantly. He's grown too big in a very short amount of time.
