Same day weigh-ins cause more brain damage than 3 extra rounds.

It would stop people unhealthily cutting down to weights at which there bofy is not used though too

No they'd still do it and be unbelievable de hydrated for the fight. There'd be muscle cramps abound and a lot more injuries. It would hurt the quality of the fight and the fighters themselves. 3 extra rounds while fully hydrated and nourished is better than going 12 lacking both.

To me, your arguement is the same as if someone said "well there are tons of people who die in car accidents even when their seatbelt is on, so whats the point of seatbelts?"
I hate the attitude that treats boxers like some kind of Human Cock Fight
Its bad enough that theyre being ripped off 9 out of 10 by their promoters,its bad enough theres all kinds of slugs coming around for investments for them(why Joe Frazier live in an apartment over his gym)do they have to get freaking killed for peoples amusment as well?
I'm saying some people can take that damage and some people can't. Those that can't should not be in the sport. I'm saying if you choose a tough occupation and receive congratulations on your bravery for it you can't be allowed to complain about the physical injuries you receive from it. Now getting ripped off is a whole other story. If promoters wanna make all that money they should get their asses in the ring to collect it.
they used fight until the other quit too why not just bring that back,,so guys like gatti can become martyrs for the sport...because he would have keep going against floyd and been seriously hurt..so would have clinton woods against roy

As i've said before some people can take repeated punishment and some can't. I'm not suggesting a fight to the death as you seem to be implying that i am. People can die from 1 punch with amateur head gear on. They should be closely monitored between fights and when it appears that some is at high risk for brain damage, they should revoke their license.
