Boxing and brain issues

[Fenster]

Padded gloves mean the combatants can absorb more blows to the head, less blows means less chance of brain damage.

Which is just as blatantly obvious as top boxers wearing gloves with less padding would score more devastating KOs/stoppages. You don't need experiments to prove a single blow with less padding has a more explosive impact you just have to watch UFC... or listen to fighters.

((Excellent article. The reason padded gloves were introduced is a promoter wanted to encourage fighters to throw more headshots to make fights more sellable/exciting. Promoters ))
