Stopping the impact of punches shouldnt be a job for the headgear it should be the job of the fighter.

Headgear whos concern it is to defend punches does the job for the fighter and ultimately gets them hit even more. The natural result is more concussions.
Again,if you are getting TKO dropped,your getting suspended in the first case,period,even lax commisions like WV and Louisana will suspend you eventualy
Youve got no shot of even getting a liscence in California where they run a battery of tests,including an MRI before they even pass you on
Repetitive Concussion Syndrome shows up on an MRI
And in the second case,headaches and lack of balance do not aid in the art of boxing,ever notice that guys whove taken a lot of big shots start getting easier to hit? Thats why
