That's true. Gloves protect hands, and limit cuts, but neither is fatal. They don't do a damned thing to protect the head ... they in fact hurt it more. So what was once a rule agreed to by old-time FIGHTERS to "wear gloves" for the safety of their HANDS eventually became misunderstood by idiots to now be mandated to protect heads. LOL
Same with head gear. Head gear protects a fighter from CUTS, but it does not make boxing "safer" regarding brain injury. Just the opposite in fact. Because with a head gear on you can't see half the punches coming at you and so get hit more too. I always hated head gear and refused to wear it for these reasons.
Yours truly,
Joe
