On a serious not tho, boxing is nowhere near as brutal as it was back in the 30's. The refs wouldn't stop fights for anything. Primo Carnera had to be knocked down 11 times by baer before the ref thought "maybe this is too onesided". Boxing stresses discipline and sportsmanship (tho trashtalking to promote a fight is an art within itself) and a lot of people don't actually compete in it, they just learn the basics and train in it like a hobby (similar to how some people do karate). It's not about hurting your opponent, it's about strengthening yourself.
