Someone posted that they want to see guys not being able to stand after fights. 12 rounds is a long time & a guy that wants to leave it all in the ring after goin 12 can do so. If u want to burn urself out running 2 miles balls out, u can do that. If u want to jog 4 miles at a slow pace, u may not even be tired.
Hey guys, maybe fighters should wear 6 oz. gloves & dip them into glue & glass before matches.
Whoever beleives that 12 rounds makes boxing "soft" is off IMO. I would venture to say that they have never swapped shots for many if any rounds with another.
The severity/accelerated rate of Ali's parkinson's has been linked to his days of boxing on more than one occasion that I can remember.
