Hey Bird & Joe
That's terrible to hear, my heart goes out to his family.
But I have a question. I've heard an argument before that bareknuckled fights would actually be safer for boxers. The argument went that there would be more body punching and knockouts would come quicker. Basically the gloves allow a fighter to take more head punches which is what causes a lot of the deaths. It was said that although gloves were promoted to make boxing appear more "humane" and safer, it was actually more dangerous for the fighters.
Truth or bulls**t?
