Handheld brain scanners were used at Bellator 169/BAMMA 27

Sadly promoters are probably working hard behind the scenes to keep these out of the sport. Similar to how thry faught against drug testing. They don't want anything interfering with their $$$$$

I know what your saying but if 2017 turns out similar to 2016 i can see the BBBOC being put under serious Government pressure and forced to introduce them

Let's hope, anything and everything that can be done for fighters safety should be done. Major props to Bellator for doing what's right.

Yeah i agree it's a positive move!
I think the governing bodies in Boxing should for once put the promoters in their place, flex their muscles and protect the bread and butter of the sport which is always the fighters.
Fuck the promoters and their $$$$ off the back of putting on shit cards and making them PPV.
I think the 2nd Nick Blackwell incident where a fellow fighter/trainer actually let him spar a few months after he came out of a coma will be a turning point and the BBBOC will come down fiercely on all involved.
Im actually amazed that things seem to be hardly any different to the days of the Michael Watson incident decades ago and the technology available isn't already being used?

I mean just scan the fighters a day or so after their last sparring session maybe a week or so before the fight..... It's that simple

Sounds great. A lot of these horrible events seem to be preventable if medical care was given sooner.

If something can help save a boxer's life or prevent him from ending up in a coma or crippled, I think it's a great thing
